An empty stadium concourse at blue hour before the gates open: a long row of steel turnstiles receding into haze, one with a small amber indicator lit.

Who they are

Seatlark, Inc.

Seatlark, Inc. is a secondary ticket marketplace in Columbus, Ohio, with white-label storefronts and an affiliate API: 270 employees, 92 of them in engineering and IT, about 1,100 professional sellers, 140 partner sites, and about $640 million in tickets a year. Its 16 AWS accounts run about $50,000 a month, eleven months into a move out of a colocation data center, so what has moved is sized to the old hardware and the waves still to come can be sized right.
