Vivid Seats support groups for whom the lasting memory of a thrilling live event is likely to be the most poignant. The company also supports those that are behind the scenes - the unsung creators, technicians and tradespeople of our industry without whom-live events would not be possible. They proudly partner with national and local community organizations including Make-A-Wish, MusiCares, Chicago’s Lurie Children’s Hospital and Ronald McDonald house where employees have provided care packages, donated wish list gifts, and hosted patients and families at live events. Through its support of MusiCares, the Recording Academy’s charity, Vivid Seats is able to provide relief for the live events community which is vital in bringing to life those events that are cherished by fans across the country. The company has donated more than $2 million since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic to help strengthen MusiCares’ relief efforts. 

Throughout its Make-A-Wish partnership, Vivid Seats is committed to helping to make wishes come true and bring added strength and courage to children battling critical illness through the power of a wish. As a marketplace that connects people to the live events, artists, and teams they love, Vivid Seats  understands just how much joy these events bring and how they enhance the quality of life for so many.
