SeatGeek Cincinnati Open Ticketing Deal Makes Fans’ Live Experience Smarter and Smoother
SeatGeek Cincinnati Open ticketing is now official. SeatGeek, the fast-growing live event technology platform, has announced a major new partnership with Beemok Sports & Entertainment (BSE) to become the official ticketing partner for two of professional tennis’s biggest events — the Cincinnati Open and the Credit One Charleston Open. The deal also gives SeatGeek full ticketing exclusivity over Credit One Stadium, one of Charleston’s top live entertainment venues.
This partnership marks a significant step forward for both organizations. BSE brings together a portfolio of world-class sporting events and entertainment venues under one unified vision. SeatGeek brings the modern technology infrastructure needed to deliver a seamless, intelligent ticketing experience across every touchpoint. Together, they are setting a new standard for how fans discover, purchase, and enjoy live events.
What This Partnership Covers
The SeatGeek Cincinnati Open ticketing partnership extends well beyond a single tournament. The full scope of the deal includes:
- ✅ Cincinnati Open — One of professional tennis’s most storied ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 events
- ✅ Credit One Charleston Open — The largest women’s-only tennis tournament in North America
- ✅ Credit One Stadium — Charleston’s premier live entertainment venue hosting concerts and events year-round
- ✅ Lindner Family Tennis Center — The home of the Cincinnati Open, fully integrated into the SeatGeek platform by 2028
The rollout happens in planned phases to ensure a smooth transition across all properties. Fans attending any BSE-operated event will eventually experience the same intuitive, mobile-first ticketing system regardless of which venue or tournament they attend.
Why Beemok Sports & Entertainment Chose SeatGeek
BSE did not choose a ticketing partner casually. The organization operates two of the most award-winning tennis tournaments in the world and manages a high-volume entertainment calendar that demands reliable, flexible, and fan-forward technology.
Bob Moran, President of Beemok Sports & Entertainment, explained the decision clearly:
“Our goal is to deliver a consistent, high-quality experience for fans across every event and venue we operate. SeatGeek gives us the technology and flexibility to bring our portfolio together in a more seamless way while continuing to elevate the standard for live sports and entertainment.”
BSE needed a platform that could unify its entire portfolio under a single ticketing infrastructure — one that connects data across multiple properties, scales easily, and keeps the fan experience at the center of every decision. SeatGeek delivered exactly that.
About the Cincinnati Open
The Cincinnati Open holds a unique place in professional tennis history. It is the longest-running US ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 tournament still played in its original city. That alone makes it one of the sport’s most iconic events.
Recent developments have made it even more compelling for fans:
- 🏗️ The tournament recently completed a $260 million campus renovation at Lindner Family Tennis Center
- 🏆 The event earned the prestigious title of WTA & ATP Masters 1000 Tournament of the Year
- 📍 The tournament continues its legacy in Cincinnati, Ohio — a city that has hosted world-class tennis for generations
With SeatGeek Cincinnati Open ticketing now in place, fans attending the tournament will access a completely modernized purchasing and entry experience starting with the January 2028 transition.
About the Credit One Charleston Open
The Credit One Charleston Open stands as the largest women’s-only tennis tournament in North America. Its reputation speaks through consistent excellence — the tournament has earned the WTA 500 Tournament of the Year award for four consecutive years.
That level of recognition reflects the tournament’s commitment to delivering a premium experience for players and fans alike. Partnering with SeatGeek strengthens that commitment by upgrading the ticketing infrastructure fans interact with before, during, and after every match.
SeatGeek begins powering Credit One Charleston Open tickets in July 2026, making it the first BSE property to fully transition to the new platform.
Credit One Stadium: More Than Just Tennis
The partnership also covers the full entertainment calendar at Credit One Stadium — and that calendar is packed. Last year alone, the venue hosted:
- 🎾 Nine days of world-class professional tennis
- 🎵 22 concerts featuring major touring artists
The 2026 entertainment slate is already building momentum, with confirmed performances from:
- Pitbull
- Jelly Roll
- Zac Brown Band
SeatGeek takes over the broader Credit One Stadium entertainment calendar in January 2027, giving fans a unified ticketing experience across every event the venue hosts.

What SeatGeek Brings Behind the Scenes
The fan-facing features are only part of what makes this partnership valuable. Behind the scenes, SeatGeek functions as an intelligent operating system for BSE’s entire portfolio.
This means:
- 📊 Connected data across both tennis properties and Credit One Stadium
- 🔍 Smarter selling — tools that help each event optimize pricing and inventory in real time
- ⚙️ Smoother operations — integrated systems that reduce complexity across multiple venues
- 🤝 Deeper fan relationships — data insights that help BSE understand and serve its audience better over time
Russ D’Souza, Co-founder and President of Supply at SeatGeek, described the opportunity this way:
“Beemok Sports & Entertainment has built something special — two of the most celebrated events in tennis along with world-class concert and event venues, operating with a shared vision and an uncompromising standard for the fan experience. That’s exactly the kind of partner SeatGeek is built for.”
Partnership Rollout Timeline
BSE and SeatGeek are executing this transition carefully and in stages to ensure fans experience zero disruption:
| Timeline | What Goes Live |
|---|---|
| July 2026 | Credit One Charleston Open tickets on SeatGeek |
| January 2027 | Full Credit One Stadium entertainment calendar |
| January 2028 | Cincinnati Open + Lindner Family Tennis Center |
This phased approach allows both organizations to refine the integration at each stage before moving to the next property. Fans attending the Charleston Open this summer will be among the first to experience the upgraded platform.
Why This Partnership Matters for Tennis Fans
Ticketing technology directly shapes how fans experience live sports. Outdated systems create frustration — long queues, confusing interfaces, surprise fees, and entry problems that eat into event enjoyment. Modern platforms like SeatGeek eliminate those pain points entirely.
For tennis fans specifically, this partnership delivers:
- Faster and easier ticket purchases for two of the sport’s biggest events
- Transparent pricing with no hidden fee surprises at checkout
- Better seat selection tools that help fans make confident choices
- Reliable mobile entry that keeps lines moving on match days
- A unified experience across every BSE-operated event they attend
According to ATP Tour’s official website, the Cincinnati Open consistently ranks among the most attended Masters 1000 events in the world. Upgrading its ticketing infrastructure directly benefits thousands of fans every year.
The Bigger Picture
This partnership signals a broader shift in how major sports organizations approach ticketing. BSE is not just switching vendors — it is investing in a technology platform designed to grow with its portfolio, connect its data, and deliver consistent excellence at every level.
For SeatGeek, landing two premier tennis tournaments and a major entertainment venue reinforces its position as the go-to modern ticketing solution for elite live event operators. The platform continues expanding its footprint across professional sports and entertainment, adding partnerships that demonstrate what intelligent ticketing technology looks like in practice.
Fans attending the Cincinnati Open, the Credit One Charleston Open, or any event at Credit One Stadium will soon experience exactly what that looks like firsthand.
