Sell Tickets in Seattle · Lumen Field · T-Mobile Park · Climate Pledge Arena
One building hosts a World Cup June and a champion’s fall. Lumen Field is the busiest premium venue in America this year — we price all three tenants of it.
Seattle is a four-major-league market with MLB’s Mariners, the NFL’s Seahawks, the NHL’s Kraken (the league’s 32nd franchise, debuted 2021), and MLS’s Sounders — one of the most valuable franchises in MLS by attendance and brand metrics. The Seattle Storm (WNBA) have four championships. If you hold Seattle inventory across any of it, we price it per date, list it across every major marketplace, and pay you Friday. First regular-season sale is commission-free for new season ticket holders.
The Seattle ticket market in 2026
The Seattle secondary market is anchored by three downtown venues: T-Mobile Park (Mariners, 47,929), Lumen Field (Seahawks + Sounders shared home, 68,740 for NFL / 37,722 capped for MLS), and Climate Pledge Arena (Kraken + Storm, 17,151 for hockey, opened 2021 on the site of the old KeyArena). The three venues are within a 2-mile radius in the SoDo/Downtown area, creating unusual geographic convenience for mixed-portfolio consignors.
Seattle has NOT had an NBA franchise since the 2008 SuperSonics relocation to Oklahoma City — a 17-year gap that has sustained latent demand for NBA return conversations. The Sonics secondary-market inventory no longer exists but the waiting-list nostalgia still factors into Seattle’s sports identity. Current: the Mariners remain the MLB franchise with the longest World Series drought (never appeared in a World Series, 47 seasons). The Seahawks won Super Bowl XLVIII (2014) in one of the most dominant Super Bowl wins in history. The Kraken are in their post-expansion Stanley Cup-pursuit window. The Sounders won MLS Cup 2016 and 2019, and reached the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League final — they’re the top MLS ticket in North America by attendance consistency. Multiple 2026 FIFA World Cup matches are scheduled at Lumen Field.
Premium windows we watch across the Seattle sports calendar:
Seahawks home divisional games at Lumen Field. 49ers, Rams, Cardinals home games are the premium NFC West dates — and every 2026 Lumen date sells as a defending-champion ticket, with a franchise-record five home night games.
Lumen Field 2026 FIFA World Cup matches. Six matches from June 15 to July 6 — four group-stage including USA vs. Australia on June 19, then a Round of 32 (July 1) and a Round of 16 (July 6).
Mariners-Astros, Mariners-Angels, Mariners-Rangers at T-Mobile Park. AL West rivalries; Houston visits are consistently the hottest.
Kraken vs. Vancouver Canucks, vs. Vegas Golden Knights at Climate Pledge Arena. Pacific Division rivalries. Vancouver border rivalry is the Kraken’s hottest regular-season ticket.
Sounders home rivalry matches. Vancouver Whitecaps (Cascadia Cup), Portland Timbers, LAFC, and MLS Cup playoff home matches.
Storm playoff home games. 2025 Storm season with Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins-Smith kept Climate Pledge Arena demand at multi-year highs.
The Seattle-specific feature is the Cascadia soccer rivalry (Sounders-Timbers-Whitecaps). The three Pacific Northwest MLS teams share a fan-cultural identity that makes Cascadia Cup matches structurally different from other MLS derbies. Sounders-Timbers home matches at Lumen Field routinely draw 50,000+ with supporter-section pricing that reflects 15+ years of built rivalry culture. We handle Cascadia Cup inventory as a distinct premium-date category.
Pro sports in Seattle
Seattle fields teams in four major leagues (NFL, MLB, NHL, MLS) plus WNBA. No NBA franchise since 2008. Here’s how the portfolio breaks down:
The major four: Seahawks, Mariners, Kraken, Sounders
The Seahawks (NFL, Lumen Field, 68,740) have two Super Bowl championships — XLVIII in 2014 (a 43-8 dominant win over Peyton Manning’s Broncos) and LX in February 2026 (29-13 over New England, avenging the Malcolm Butler goal-line loss in XLIX a decade earlier). The 12th Man crowd noise at Lumen Field is among the loudest in the NFL — the Seahawks have multiple Guinness World Record crowd-noise measurements. The Mariners (MLB, T-Mobile Park, 47,929) have never reached the World Series (the longest such drought in the majors) but reached the ALCS in 2022 and produced multiple recent MVPs (Julio Rodriguez). The Kraken (NHL, Climate Pledge Arena, 17,151) are the NHL’s 32nd franchise, debuted 2021, reached the second round of the 2023 playoffs in their second season. Climate Pledge Arena is the renovated KeyArena (same 1962 roof) with the $1.1 billion below-grade construction. The Sounders (MLS, Lumen Field, 37,722 capped for MLS) won MLS Cup in 2016 and 2019, reached the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League final (the first MLS team to do so since MLS Cup expansion). Sounders season-ticket base is among the largest in MLS.
The Storm and women’s sports in Seattle
The Seattle Storm (WNBA, Climate Pledge Arena) have four WNBA championships (2004, 2010, 2018, 2020 — the most WNBA titles of any active franchise after Minnesota). Sue Bird retired in 2022, but the franchise remains in championship contention with the current roster. 2025 season with Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins-Smith kept Storm home games at near-capacity. Climate Pledge Arena shares hockey and basketball scheduling — which creates occasional May/June overlap issues when Kraken playoff rounds extend past the Storm regular-season opener. Seattle Reign (NWSL) play at Lumen Field South Field (Starfire Sports) and a newly expanded WNBA-adjacent women’s pro soccer audience.
Beyond the pros: college, concerts, and events
Seattle consignor portfolios include University of Washington Huskies football at Husky Stadium (70,000) and men’s basketball at Alaska Airlines Arena, Washington State Cougars in Pullman (regional travel inventory), and the annual Apple Cup rivalry. Climate Pledge Arena hosts 60+ concerts per year. Lumen Field handles 6-8 stadium tours per summer. T-Mobile Park hosts occasional concerts. The Paramount Theatre (2,800, downtown), Showbox SoDo (1,800), and Neumos (700) handle the smaller concert calendar. We handle inventory across all venues.
The venues that move Seattle inventory
Seattle’s three major venues are clustered in the SoDo and downtown corridors, within 2 miles of each other. Here are the three that move the most inventory:
Lumen Field (Seahawks, Sounders, World Cup 2026)
SoDo district, opened 2002 as Seahawks Stadium, renamed CenturyLink Field then Lumen Field. 68,740 for NFL, capped at 37,722 for typical Sounders MLS matches (can open up to full capacity for Cascadia rivalries and MLS Cup rounds, drawing 50,000+). Host site of six 2026 FIFA World Cup matches, including the USMNT’s June 19 group match and two knockout rounds (July 1 and July 6). Premium tiers: Club Level, Touchdown Club, Boeing Tower Suite Level, and 76 luxury suites. The 12th Man upper-deck crowd noise is a documented home-field advantage. Light rail Stadium Station is adjacent. Parking ranges $30-75.
T-Mobile Park (Mariners, concerts)
SoDo district next to Lumen Field, opened 1999 as Safeco Field, renamed T-Mobile Park 2019. 47,929 capacity. Retractable roof (one of the few roofed MLB ballparks). Premium tiers: Diamond Club, Terrace Club, 69 suites, and the All-Star Club. The 300-level upper deck and the center-field outfield bleachers are volume inventory. Mariners 2022 ALCS run repriced the entire venue upward. Light rail Stadium Station is adjacent (shared with Lumen Field). Parking ranges $25-50. The ballpark hosts occasional summer concerts (2024 had Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift stadium dates).
Climate Pledge Arena and beyond
Climate Pledge Arena (Kraken, Storm, 17,151 for hockey, opened October 2021) is the renovated KeyArena at Seattle Center. Amazon-backed naming rights and net-zero-carbon design (first ‘climate pledge’ arena). The 1962 roof (originally designed by Paul Thiry for the World’s Fair) was preserved while the building below was dug 15 feet further down. Premium tiers: the Amazon Club, the Symetra Premium Club, and 56 suites. Upper bowl 200-level is volume. Monorail direct access from downtown Seattle. Parking at Seattle Center and adjacent lots, $20-45. Hosts 60+ concerts per year. The Moore Theatre (1,800), Paramount Theatre (2,800), and Showbox venues complete Seattle’s concert-venue portfolio.
History that drives Seattle ticket demand
Seattle sports history is a mix of championships and heartbreak. The Seahawks’ Super Bowl XLVIII win in 2014 (dominant 43-8 over the Broncos, Percy Harvin’s opening-kickoff return, the Legion of Boom defense at peak) is the defining Seattle sports moment of the 21st century. Super Bowl XLIX loss the following year (Malcolm Butler’s goal-line interception) is the counterweight. The Mariners’ 2001 116-win regular season (tied for most wins in MLB history) ending in ALCS loss to the Yankees is the franchise’s high-water mark. The SuperSonics won the 1979 NBA championship before their 2008 relocation to OKC — a wound that still shapes Seattle sports identity. The Storm’s four WNBA championships (2004, 2010, 2018, 2020) make them the winningest currently-active WNBA franchise in the Western Conference.
More recently: Sounders MLS Cup 2016 and 2019; Julio Rodriguez’s 2022 Rookie of the Year and subsequent MVP-level seasons; the 2023 Kraken second-round playoff run in their second season; the Seahawks’ Super Bowl LX championship — the franchise’s second banner; and the World Cup’s arrival at Lumen Field have kept Seattle’s demand baseline elevated. Seattle fans are historically sophisticated — they know the 12th Man crowd-noise records, they reference specific Felix Hernandez perfect-game dates, and they pay premiums for Sounders Cascadia-rivalry inventory specifically.
Beyond sports: the Seattle concert market
Seattle’s concert economy runs through five primary venues: Climate Pledge Arena for arena tours (60+ shows per year, from Taylor Swift to Bad Bunny to Madonna), Lumen Field for 6-8 stadium tours per summer, T-Mobile Park for 2-4 ballpark concerts per year, the Paramount Theatre (2,800, downtown) for theatrical tours, and Showbox SoDo (1,800) for rock and mid-size acts. Seattle’s grunge-era heritage (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains — all Seattle-based 90s bands) makes the city a consistent stop for reunion tours, heritage rock, and alternative music. Pearl Jam specifically does Seattle home-stand concerts that are among the highest-demand tickets in the city. We handle inventory across all venues.
Why consign your Seattle tickets with us
We know which Seattle dates move and when. Seahawks-49ers at Lumen is not the same listing problem as a Tuesday Kraken game against a rebuilding team. Mariners-Astros is not a Wednesday game against the White Sox. A Sounders-Timbers Cascadia Cup match is a specific premium inventory category. We track premium dates across all Seattle franchises plus Red Rocks-level concerts.
You don’t manage buyers, transfers, or delivery issues. We handle the full transaction: multi-marketplace listing, delivery, customer support, dispute handling, and replacement tickets if a marketplace cancels a transfer the night of the event. You don’t get a text from a stranger at 6:45 PM on gameday.
You get paid Friday after the event. One Friday payout for every event from the prior Sunday through Saturday. No marketplace payout delays, no held funds, no surprise chargebacks.
First regular-season sale is commission-free for new season ticket holders. If this is your first sale with us and you’re a Seattle-market season ticket holder on any team, we take zero commission on your first regular-season listing. The goal is to show you the difference in net payout — then you decide.
Holding Seahawks, World Cup, Mariners, or Sounders dates in Seattle you won’t use?
Lumen Field runs the USMNT’s June 19 match, two knockout rounds, a defending-champion NFL season with five home night games, and 50,000-seat Cascadia derbies — all in one calendar year. Send your dates and sections and we’ll map every window.
Full-service consignment vs. listing Seattle tickets yourself
Holding a Seattle mixed portfolio is four to five different pricing disciplines with four to five seasonal curves, all concentrated geographically in downtown and SoDo. Here’s an honest comparison:

|---|---|---|
| Pricing decisions per home event | ~5-15 adjustments you make per listing | We handle all of it |
| Multi-marketplace listing | One at a time, manually | Every major resale marketplace, plus wholesale broker channels and our private buyer list |
| Managing a mixed-sport portfolio | Juggle NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL windows alone | One consignor, one dashboard, one Friday payout |
| Last-minute transfer issues | You handle buyer calls at tipoff/first pitch/kickoff | We handle it, including replacements |
| Payout timing | 7-30 days, varies by marketplace | Friday after the event, PayPal or wire |
| Pricing for Seahawks-49ers, Sounders-Timbers, Mariners-Astros dates | Based on what you see on the marketplace | Based on nearly 20 years of premium-date data |
| Commission | 10-25% marketplace fees (variable by platform and event) | 20% standard (first regular-season sale free for new STHs) |
FAQs about selling Seattle tickets
I have tickets across multiple Seattle teams — how do you handle it?
A Seahawks plan plus Mariners plus Kraken or Storm plus a Sounders plan is four to five different listing problems with four to five seasonal curves. Seattle’s geographic concentration (all three major venues within 2 miles of each other) actually helps weekend-bundling and buyer-travel dynamics. We consolidate everything under one consignor account, one dashboard, and one Friday payout. Sounders STHs specifically have the longest waiting-list tenure in MLS — multi-decade plans are common, and the inherited-inventory pricing we handle is informed by that history.
How does Seattle weather and transit affect game-day logistics?
Seattle’s fall and winter rain is a real factor for outdoor game-day pricing. Seahawks October-January games routinely have 40-60% chance-of-rain forecasts, which factors into last-minute pricing in ways marketplace algorithms miss. Lumen Field has a partial roof over most seats; the 300-level mezzanine and endzones are more exposed. T-Mobile Park’s retractable roof eliminates weather risk for baseball. Sound Transit Link light rail Stadium Station serves both Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park; Climate Pledge Arena has Monorail direct from downtown. For out-of-town buyers flying into Sea-Tac, Link light rail reaches all three venues without a rental car, a genuine selling point.
When should I list Seattle tickets — does the window vary?
Yes. Seahawks games list 45-90 days out, with divisional home games pushing to 90+. Mariners games list 21-45 days for regular dates, 45-60 days for Astros/Dodgers/Yankees series. Kraken marquee games (Canucks, Golden Knights) list 30-45 days; baseline games 10-21 days. Sounders rivalry matches (Timbers, Whitecaps) list 45-75 days; regular home matches 14-30 days. Storm playoff home games list 21-45 days. Lumen Field concert and World Cup 2026 inventory lists 180+ days out.
