SeatGeek Adds Citigroup, Wells Fargo To IPO That Could Come As Soon As This Year

Ticket-seller SeatGeek, Inc. has added banks Citigroup Inc. C and Wells Fargo & Co. WFC to the lineup for its planned initial public offering (IPO) led by Morgan Stanley.

The Details: 

According to a Bloomberg report, SeatGeek is targeting a valuation in an IPO that is greater than the $1.35 billion figure it agreed to in a 2021 deal to go public via special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). The SPAC deal was ultimately dissolved a year later. The report indicates an IPO could take place toward the end of 2024. 

People familiar with the matter reportedly said SeatGeek hasn’t made a final decision and details of the planned public debut could still change. Bloomberg previously reported that SeatGeek could go public as soon as this quarter.
