Companies Using Seated

I run marketing for a data company, so I read a widget count the way a buyer would: whose account is it, and is it still working? Seated's answer is clean. A domain counts here when a page loads Seated's script from widget.seated.com, the one line of code Seated gives artists to publish tour dates. Our October 2026 crawl finds it on 894 domains, 6th of 57 in Event & Ticket Booking, and 200 of them match to a company. On 16 October 2026 I opened every one of the 901 hosts in our live set to see what the count is made of.

What the check found

775 of the 901 hosts (86.0%) loaded the widget: 755 in the page source and 20 more once scripts ran. 40 sat behind bot walls, most of them Warner Music artist sites, and 44 timed out twice. 25 live sites no longer showed the widget on the homepage; Jonas Brothers' and Shawn Mendes' homepages, for instance, now point at a single release. 14 were dead, parked or hijacked (1.55%): domains gone from DNS, expired certificates, two parking landers, a HugeDomains for-sale page on a lapsed Pitbull domain and two lottery pages on lapsed artist domains. That's well under the share that would make us re-cut the count.

Seated also puts an artist ID on each widget. 722 pages showed one, and those IDs number 664; 610 of them sit on a single domain. The biggest cluster is one act's five domains. No ID turns up across unrelated acts. The only stray is a demo store run by Single, a music-commerce company, which borrows the Eagles' ID, so I left it off the company list.

Sales signal: dedupe by artist before you count accounts. About 1.1 domains per act is a small correction, but it matters if you price per artist.

A label platform inside the count

36 Seated domains (4.01%) run Drupal Multisite. The three I opened, all artist sites, are built on Warner Music's artist-services platform: they load libraries from wmgartistservices.com and keep their files under the same multisite paths. Two of them show different artist IDs on their widgets, so each act has its own Seated listing, but the sites come from one label team. Adobe Analytics (4.57%) rides along: 36 of the 41 domains running it are these Drupal sites.

Sales signal: for anyone selling into artist web teams, those 36 Drupal domains look like one buyer, Warner's artist-services team. Count them as one account.

Flat since July

The chart reads 605 in June, 876 in July, 897 in August, 891 in September and 894 in October. The June to July jump comes from changes on our side, both the domains we cover and the signals we detect Seated with, and the crawled set also turns over every month as dead sites drop out and new ones arrive. Since July the count has barely moved. 80 domains dropped Seated on at least one hostname since we began tracking it on 16 March 2026, and 11 still run it on another, so 69 left it entirely.

"Seated's count is unusually clean. Almost every domain is one act, and the biggest shared operator we found is a label's own web platform." - Elif Arslan, CMO & Co-founder at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: this is a stable list of about 900 domains and roughly 660 acts. Time outreach to tour announcements, not to growth in the base.

Who the customers are

In a random sample of 100 live installs, 96 belonged to musicians or bands and 4 to comedians or drag performers. About one in ten was an official merch store rather than a band site. No venue, promoter or ticket agency turned up. The company records agree: 87.43% of the 175 matched companies with a known size have 1 to 10 employees, and 63.64% of those with an industry are in music. The United States holds 154 of the 184 matched companies we could place, the United Kingdom 10 and Canada 5. Only 25 list a founding year, mostly the 2000s and 2010s.

Sales signal: the company on the LinkedIn record is the act's LLC, but the decision sits with its manager, its merch company or its label. Pitch the manager or the store operator.

Seated next to Bandsintown

Bandsintown is the other tour-dates widget in our data, at 1,595 domains. 14 domains run both today, out of 17 ever seen with both. Carly Rae Jepsen's site loads the two side by side, with Bandsintown's ticket links tagged with an Interscope app ID. Etix overlaps on 2 domains. None of these pairs passes our switching tests: most domains that ever ran both still do, so artists add a second listing rather than replace the first.

"Artists stack Seated and Bandsintown on the same page. The overlap is small, and nearly all of it is still running." - Elif Arslan, CMO & Co-founder at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: Seated's list is a prospect list for Bandsintown's artist team, and the reverse holds. The 14 sites showing both prove the two can share a page.

The stack around it

These shares are of the 897 live domains. Shopify (45.15%) and Squarespace (31.66%) carry most Seated sites; WordPress is on 22.3%. Google Analytics runs on 51.51%. Email is split between MailChimp (12.6%) and Klaviyo (12.37%), with Privy on 2.9%. It's a merch-store stack, and the tour widget lives beside the T-shirt catalogue.

Sales signal: Shopify app makers who sell to artist stores, and merch fulfilment companies, have a ready list here.

What Seated sells, and who owns it

Seated launched in 2017 to improve tour listings on artists' sites. Sofar Sounds bought it in February 2021, and co-founders David McKay and John Griffin bought it back, Billboard reported on 2 June 2025, with McKay as CEO. On 13 April 2026 Seated and Ticketmaster announced a partnership: artists using the tour widget can switch on a waitlist for sold-out shows, and Ticketmaster fulfils released tickets to verified fans, Pollstar reported. Seated's artist page lists no price; it asks artists to create an account and install the code.

Sales signal: the waitlist is where Seated now competes. For a rival ticketing tool, the sold-out tours on this list are the moment to call.
