Vivid Seats Celebrates World Wish Day® with Make-A-Wish®

CHICAGO, April 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vivid Seats Inc. (NASDAQ: SEAT), a leading marketplace that utilizes its technology platform to connect millions of buyers with thousands of ticket sellers across hundreds of thousands of events each year, is proud to support Make-A-Wish, a global organization responsible for creating life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses, and celebrate World Wish Day.

Vivid Seats has been a proud Make-A-Wish partner since November 2022, working together to bring awareness to the power and impact of a wish for children and families and pledging $250,000 through its charitable foundation, Vivid Cheers. Through this partnership, Vivid Seats has been able to connect children and their families with over 80 incredible live events, including the NCAA College Football Championship, the Daytona 500, and NCAA College Basketball Final Four.

Research shows that wishes can improve the odds of survival and increase hope, strength, joy, confidence, self-esteem, quality of life and well-being for young patients. As Vivid Seats continues to make wishes come true at live events across the country, they invite everyone to also raise their hands for wish kids on World Wish Day this April 29th. Make-A-Wish was built on everyday people raising their hands to help make wishes come true, granting more than 360,000 wishes since its founding. Join Vivid Seats and Make-A-Wish to celebrate World Wish Day this weekend. To see a list of local events and find out how to make a difference for wish kids today, visit wish.org/worldwishday.

In addition to Make-A-Wish, Vivid Seats longstanding giving programs include partnerships with national philanthropic organizations like MusiCares, the Recording Academy’s charity, and Ronald McDonald House, as well as local organizations in Chicago, Toronto and Dallas.
