With the launch of this new discovery tool and intelligent shopping experience, Vivid Seats is the first company in the live events industry to offer a ChatGPT plugin. Combining its own real-time data with ChatGPT technology, this Vivid Seats tool is meant to capture the robust consumer demand around live events and make event discovery and ticket purchase even more fun and exciting. Now, fans can get inspired and have all their live event questions answered, making it easier and faster to decide on and find tickets to their next event with Vivid Seats.

This new experience will provide curated and personalized recommendations for fans who are looking to discover the best events to attend based on their current mood, new artists, and teams to see based on their current preference, and the answer to the age-old question: “What should I do this weekend?” The ChatGPT plugin will provide insight on topics like the most popular events that are currently trending, what live events are happening nearby, what seats have the best view, how to earn rewards on purchases, and how to pick the best seats for any budget, among endless others.
