SeatGeek just announced a major partnership reshaping how fans buy tickets to two of tennis’ biggest events. The ticketing platform will power the Cincinnati Open and Credit One Charleston Open starting in July 2026. This tech shift promises faster, smarter ticketing for thousands of fans.
🔥 Quick Facts
- Launch Timeline: Charleston Open goes live in July 2026, Cincinnati Open follows January 2028
- Tournament Status: Cincinnati Open is ATP Masters 1000, Charleston is WTA 500 Tournament of the Year four years running
- Platform Features: Mobile-first ticketing with seat previews, Deal Score comparisons, and one-tap transfers
- Scope: Covers ticketing for Credit One Stadium concerts and entertainment beyond just tennis
Why This Deal Matters for Tennis Fans
SeatGeek replaces the previous ticketing system with technology built for modern fans. The platform focuses on mobile purchasing, letting you discover events, compare seat positions with photos, and transfer tickets instantly. Bob Moran, President of Beemok Sports & Entertainment, states the partnership delivers “a consistent, high-quality experience for fans across every event.” This means fewer checkout headaches and better seat transparency.
The Cincinnati Open recently completed a $260 million campus renovation and earned ATP & WTA Masters 1000 Tournament of the Year honors. Charleston Open holds the record as North America’s largest women’s-only professional tennis tournament. Both deserve ticketing technology matching their prestige.

What Fans Get: The Tech Upgrade
SeatGeek’s system emphasizes what fans have asked for: transparency and speed. The Deal Score feature rates ticket value so you avoid overpaying. Seat previews show exact views before purchase. Mobile entry means day-of check-in takes seconds, not minutes, letting you spend more time watching matches.
Behind the scenes, SeatGeek serves as an intelligent operating system connecting data across both properties. According to Russ D’Souza, Co-founder and President of Supply at SeatGeek, this integration helps each event “sell smarter, run smoother and build deeper connections with fans over time.” Premium hospitality options become easier to find and purchase.

“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.”
— Russ D’Souza, Co-founder and President of Supply at SeatGeek
Bigger Picture: What This Means for Sports Ticketing
Beemok Sports & Entertainment operates a powerhouse portfolio combining two major tennis tournaments with a multi-purpose entertainment venue. Last year, Credit One Stadium hosted nine days of tennis and 22 concerts. Consolidating ticketing across this diverse event mix proves SeatGeek’s versatility beyond single-sport venues.
The partnership signals growing demand for unified ticketing platforms handling mixed entertainment. SeatGeek already powers ticketing for nine MLS teams, plus the new Chicago Fire FC downtown stadium opening in 2028. This tennis partnership adds prestigious summer sports to their growing portfolio.
When Can You Use SeatGeek at These Tournaments?
If you plan to attend the Credit One Charleston Open in July 2026, you’ll get the SeatGeek experience immediately. Cincinnati Open fans must wait until January 2028 for the full transition. Other Credit One Stadium events rollover to SeatGeek in January 2027. The phased approach lets Beemok maintain smooth operations while modernizing technology.
