Gametime Adds $20M Round Of VC Financing From Investors Like Accel, Wasserman

S.F.-based mobile ticketing company Gametime has completed a $20M round of Series B venture capital financing, raising its total capital raised to more than $33M. Existing investors such as Accel Partners, MLB Giants partner and Whitecaps co-Owner Jeff Mallett and Wasserman Media Group Chair & CEO Casey Wasserman participated in the round, and were joined by new investors GV (formerly Google Ventures), Evolution Media Partners and the Stanford StartX Fund. The funding follows a $13.3M Series A round completed 16 months ago, and will be used to help further Gametime’s expansion, particularly as it looks to further exploit the notion of last-minute buying within ticketing. Half of all Gametime transactions happen on the day of an event, and 10% happen after the start time. “The funding will help us continue on our steep trajectory as we pioneer the last minute into the next big category in our industry,” said Gametime Founder & CEO Brad Griffith.
