Three games still need somewhere to go.
You bought seats.
You got a
second job.
Forty-one home dates arrive as one line on an invoice. You’ll make it to about half of them. The other half still belong to you, still have to go somewhere, and every single one of them turns up in your phone as a question you have to answer.

A normal week
Nine
messages
Six different people, five different days, and none of them can see what any of the others already took.
- “is the montreal game still open?”
- Cousin, Monday 9:12am
- “how much for two on the 21st?”
- Dev, Monday 11:40am
- “did anyone take Wednesday? my brother’s in town”
- Neighbour, Tuesday 7:55am
- “something came up, I can’t do the 18th anymore”
- Priya, Thursday 6:31pm
- “anything next month?”
- Client, Friday 4:02pm
- “who has Friday?”
- Sam, Saturday 10:20am
One game placed. One seat empty that night. The problem was never that nobody wanted the games. It was keeping track of them.
Everything after you buy the seats.
One place to run the whole season.
-
Know what you have
Every home date on your schedule in one place, priced from the invoice you already paid.
-
Know who has it
You, a friend, a client, a partner, or someone from your list. Every night has a name on it.
-
Know what’s open
Current the second anything changes, so there is no stale spreadsheet to check against.
-
Know what still needs somewhere to go
The nights nobody has yet become obvious, early enough to actually do something about them.
Four steps, once.
Set it up before opening night and the season runs on it from there.
-
Bring in your season
Upload the invoice you got from the team. Your full schedule lands in SZN with what every night actually cost you.
-
Take your games
Mark the nights you plan to be there. Those come off the board immediately and nobody can ask you about them.
-
Give the rest somewhere to go
Assign a game to someone directly, share your link, or send an open night to your list.
-
See where everything stands
Open it any time and know who has every game, what is still open, and what is close enough to need a decision.
Ten
seasons
in.
I’ve held the same pair for about ten years. I make maybe half the games.
The rest I always wanted someone to have. A friend, my brother, a client, two guys from work — the seats get used, somebody gets a good night out, and I get back a piece of what the season cost me. That was always the whole idea.
Running it is what nearly killed it.
A spreadsheet I kept forgetting to update. A group chat where the same six questions arrived on six different days. People telling me they were in and then going quiet. Me chasing e-transfers from friends, which is a genuinely unpleasant thing to have to do.
And every few weeks a game would come around that I couldn’t attend and hadn’t got to anyone. So at four in the afternoon I’d start texting — neighbour, cousin, client, whoever picked up. Some of those nights went empty anyway. Not because nobody wanted them. Because keeping track of it had turned into work, and by February I’d run out of the appetite for it.
So I built the thing I needed. One place that knows every game on my schedule, which ones I’m taking, who has the rest, and what still needs somewhere to go. I stopped being the switchboard.
Then a friend with seats of his own asked me for it. Then another one did.
AliSeason-seat holder
Ten seasons
Someone usually wants the game.
The hard part was never demand. It was reaching the right person without turning your afternoon into a phone tree.
Your list is whoever you decide it is. SZN helps you reach the people you already choose to give access to, and nobody else.
Your brother. Your neighbour. The client who always asks. Two guys from work. Your Friday group. The guy who cuts your grass.
-
You build it
People join because you gave them the link. Nobody is added for looking, and nobody arrives from outside.
-
Nothing is public
Your season is never published, indexed or searchable. It exists for the people holding your link.
-
You decide what a night is worth
Full price, a favour, or free. SZN shows you what the night cost you and then stays out of the decision.
SZN DROP
Friday is still open.
Send an open game to your list instead of starting another afternoon of texts. One message, out to the people who asked to hear about exactly this.
Opt-in only
People ask to be on your list. Nobody is added for browsing, and every message says how to leave.
One at a time
Each person gets it privately. Nobody sees who else received it or who replied.
You confirm
Someone takes the night, you confirm it, and the board updates itself.
SZN SEATS
Montreal
Friday, 7:00 PM
A pair available.
Want them?
I’m in
SZN CALL · opening soon
Looking for a game? Get on the list.
SZN CALL is the other direction: you name the game you want, and it reaches season-seat holders privately. It opens after the first holders are running their seasons on SZN. Tell us what you follow and we will come to you when it does.
Private by default
A CALL goes to holders of that season quietly. No holder is revealed, and nothing about their schedule is shown to you.
Two fields
Your email and the team you follow. There is nothing to browse and nothing to create.
One email, then nothing
We confirm you are on the list, and the next thing you hear is that SZN CALL is open.
Your SZN PASS.
One pair. One team. One season.
Tell us what season you have and we’ll tell you what SZN costs. One flat fee, paid once, for the whole year. No cut of anything that changes hands.
Straight answers.
What is SZN SEATS?
A season seat management platform. One place that holds every game on your schedule, which ones you’re taking, who has the rest, and what still needs somewhere to go.
Is SZN a ticket marketplace?
No. Nothing you have is published, browsable or searchable. Your season is visible to the people you hand your link to, and to nobody else.
Can I give games away?
Yes, and plenty of nights should be. SZN works exactly the same whether a game goes to your brother for nothing or to a client at full price.
Can I recover my cost?
Often, yes. SZN reads what each night cost you from your season invoice and keeps a running total against it, so you always know where you stand. What you ask for is entirely your call.
Who can see my games?
Only the people you send your link to. SZN never publishes your season, and never shows one person’s games to anybody else.
Does SZN hold money?
No. Money moves directly between you and the person taking the game, the same way it already does. SZN is not a payment processor and never touches that money.
Does SZN transfer tickets?
No. Tickets stay in the ticket account you already have and you send them the way you always have. SZN records whether you’ve done it.
How does SZN DROP work?
A night is still open, so you send it to your list as one message. Only people who asked to be on that list get it, each one privately. Someone comes back, you confirm, and the board updates.
What is SZN CALL?
The other direction. Someone names the game they want, and that request can reach holders of that season privately. No holder is identified and no holder has to answer.
Can I use SZN with any team?
Yes. SZN reads your schedule and your invoice, so it isn’t tied to a team, a league, a sport or a venue.
Can I manage more than one pair?
Yes. Extra pairs and extra teams sit on one season view together, each with its own schedule and its own cost basis.
What if I split seats with partners?
That’s SZN for partners, and it’s coming. See what’s planned.
Your seats stay yours.
- Your season stays under your control. You decide what happens to every night on it.
- You choose who receives your links. Access starts and ends with you.
- SZN does not publicly list your games. Nothing is indexed, browsable or searchable.
- SZN does not set ticket prices. Every number is yours.
- Funds move directly between people. SZN never holds, transmits or escrows ticket money.
- Tickets remain in the holder’s existing ticket account. SZN never takes possession of one.
- SZN manages the process around them. That is the entire job.
Run your
season.
Every game. Who has it. What’s open. What still needs somewhere to go.
