Prospectus Summary
Our Market Opportunity, page 13
1.We note that you continue to use 2019 to estimate your SAM and TAM, but you deleted
your disclosure that you are using such data "to account for the impact of the COVID 19
pandemic . . . ." Further, where you disclose on page 71 that "[w]e believe we operate the
largest global marketplace where fans can buy and sell tickets to live events," we note that
you continue to rely upon public regulatory filings and equity research reports from 2019.
Please revise your market statements as of a more recent year such as 2022. In the
alternative, elaborate upon why using data from 2019 continues to provide a reasonable
basis for your market opportunity estimate and market position.
