Just a quick note to thank you so much for the help with the Motley Crue tickets in Toronto. We went last night for my friend's birthday. It was amazing!  I appreciate the time and help to make this happen. Katherine W.  Windsor, ON

Thank you. I just received the tickets. And thanks again for refunding the shipping fee. Your company is always so helpful and the reason I continue to purchase tickets through you. Andrea R.  Bothell, WA

I used buy my tickets on Vivid but they charged me 25% at check out. You guys don’t charge anything. Epic Seats from here on out." Spencer H. Seattle, WA

Wanted to drop you a line and let you know that everything went great with the Cubs tickets. Had a great time there and at the Packers/Seahawks game we bought tickets to through Epic. Thanks a lot for making it work! Kyle Seattle, WA

Wow...I have to say, I am very impressed with Epic Seats and the contact you have with your customers!! You have kept in touch with me all along the way! I have bought tickets online through various vendors for many years and I have never experience customer service and the "connection" your company has had with me! That was a historical game....one that we will never forget!! I attended with two of my grandsons - ages 14 and 13. What an amazing memory!! We usually don't pay the prices we paid for those seats ever.....but, at the end of that game it was worth every penny and more! And, I can promise you....when I am in need of tickets again in the future, I will be checking Epic Seats as my preferred company and first choice! Thank you!! Marsha M Federal Way, WA

I wanted to say thank you for all the updates and the efforts that your company put into getting tickets for the fans. Luckily, we were able to get tickets from a season ticket holder that had to cancel plans at the last minute, so were able to go to the game and not take out a second mortgage on our house. ;) I hope you guys had a good time in Phoenix and I appreciate the integrity with which you approached the ticket sales. When we go back again, we will look to you for assistance and will recommend you to anyone we know looking for tickets. Thanks!! Elise C. Seattle, WA

My wife and daughter both had a wonderful time at the concert last night. The seats were amazing. Thanks for your graciousness with upgrading our row. I will definitely send you a note when we are looking for tickets. I am sure that we will be wanting to head to some Mariners games soon. Again, thanks so much. Briar W. Lynnwood, WA

Thank you so much for the check in last week on the Timbers tickets. The kids had an absolute blast - all 7 of them. Your seats are always so fun - I really appreciate it. Thanks again for all the TLC. Laura D. Bellevue WA While living in Chicago, co-founder Scott Barrows helped fund his Cubs baseball habit by buying extra game tickets and reselling them on eBay. As luck would have it, his longtime friend and fellow University of Washington alumnus, co-founder James Kimmel, shared Barrow’s passion for baseball and was doing the same with Seattle Mariners tickets, so the two decided to pool their assets in 2003.


Two years later, with their combined capital consisting of two $10,000 limit personal credit cards, the duo successfully competed in the University of Washington’s Business Plan Competition where many integral relationships were formed. In a marketplace that includes hundreds of other companies selling the same product, Barrows and Kimmel knew early on they would need to excel and di erentiate their new company. To compete with the industry Goliaths, the focus of their nascent company would center on top-rate customer service and technical innovation, both hallmarks of other successful businesses in the Pacific Northwest.

In a region where retailers Nordstrom, Amazon and Seattle - based Alaska Airlines consistently win top-service awards for exceptional customer relations, the bar was set high. Yet, Barrows and Kimmel instinctively knew this would be the way of the future.

From its inception, Epic Seats has focused on being the most customer-centric company in the hotly competitive ticket brokerage market. While many companies choose profits over the wellbeing of their clients, Epic Seats runs a clean, fluid operation that mandates the highest ethical standards, low transaction fees, and excellent treatment of customers.

These standards for both corporate clients and retail customers permeates every element of Epic Seats’ culture today, one of the company’s core values directs all employees to provide a clear customer orientation and mutual consideration. Epic Seats’ team members are required to treat everyone they encounter with the highest level of respect, to achieve the highest customer satisfaction rating in the business. James grew up in the Seattle area and attended Lakeside School. He was recruited to play football at the University of Redlands, where he lettered and was honored with a scholar-athlete distinction. Knowing his battered shoulders would be better o without the constant grind necessary of an o ensive lineman, he transferred to the University of Washington. There he received an undergraduate business degree, and, later, his MBA.
The UW sales program placed him in an internship at Entercom giving him the cherished opportunity to work with the Mariners broadcast team and HOF broadcaster Dave Niehaus. That introduction to the business sports inspired James to launch Epic Seats, a ticket brokerage based in Seattle with national scope. In 2015 Epic formed Zero Hero, a marriage of its consignment business and world class ticketing management software. In May 2017, Zero Hero was acquired by Ticketmaster resale to attract ticket brokers to list directly on TM's platform.
James continues to lead and grow Epic in the secondary ticketing industry, which has seen rapid change and technology innovation. Ticketing has given James so much, but he is most proud how Epic Seats has been able to give back to organizations like Seattle Children’s Home (Navos), the Moyer Foundation, Ronald McDonald House, Seattle Works, Treehouse, Boys and Girls Clubs plus many smaller charities.

James can be found at any Seattle-area sporting event rooting on the home team. He is passionate about family, travel, snowboarding, wine tasting, enjoy- ing the outdoors, and of course sports.

He was an assistant event director with “Hoop-it-up”; responsible for executing 3-vs-3 basketball tournaments- traveling to 13 cities in 13 weekends up and down the east coast.
After the internship, the Director of Hoop-It-Up gave him a referral to the owners of Epic Seats. They o ered him a full-time entry level sales position in October of 2007. He eagerly accepted the o er, packed up his few belongings and headed to Seattle. He has been working for Epic Seats ever since.
