Pogoseat is a US startup company founded in 2012 in Los Angeles, California. It develops software that is used to help professional sports teams and live-entertainment venues sell more tickets and enhance the fan experience. Its white-labelled mobile web application offers ticket holders to upgrade seats before or during sporting events, concerts, broadway and any live-entertainment venue. The app uses GPS tracking to show a user's location and a map of the seats available at a venue.^[1] Fans can buy open marketed seats that went unsold at a reduced cost.^[2] The seats are discounted from face value based on a number of factors some of which include the fans original ticket price, time remaining at the event and the score.^[1] The functionality is seamlessly embedded into any native 3rd party app such as a team or venue app.^[3] In addition to upgrade technology, Pogoseat also offers a number of alternative solutions such as text-based ticketing, to help venues sell last-minute tickets via SMS, and a mobile subscription service which is redefining the traditional season ticket model.

The Golden State Warriors and Stanford men's basketball were the first to use Pogoseat.^[4][5][6][7] Pogoseat was the first company to pioneer a seat upgrade integration with Ticketmaster, North America. The service expanded to other live entertainment with its partnership with Broadway San Diego.^[1]

The company received $100,000 in a round of funding in January 2014. In February 2014, Pogoseat partnered with Barclays Center in Brooklyn.^[8][9] Pogoseat also partnered with the San Francisco Giants in 2014 on its MLB Ballpark app to let fans upgrade their seat before and during games.^[10]
