Concert Fans Put AI in Charge of the Tickets Search

Fans searching for concert tickets are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence (AI) to narrow down choices, rather than simply using filters and sections. Seatpin, a European ticket marketplace, developed its Pin AI assistant after noticing customers using this approach. Galin Ananiev, the company's founder and CEO, explained that many customers prefer conversational interactions over navigating websites and filters.

Seatpin, SeatGeek, and Ticketmaster have all implemented AI-driven ticket search features in the past year. Seatpin's assistant searches listings, assembles an order, and then emails the customer with ticket details and a final approval button. This allows customers to review the purchase details before confirming the transaction.

While 45% of consumers are comfortable with AI completing purchases, concerns about fraud and security remain a significant issue for 95% of people.
