Ticket search engine SeatGeek is best known as the place to find good deals on sports tickets, but it's working to dominate ticketing for any live events, including concerts. It just announced its first partnership deals on the music side, with AOL Music (which is, yes, owned by the same parent company as TechCrunch), Pollstar, and Emusic. Now, if you go to AOL Music, for example, and you're looking at Justin Bieber's tour dates, clicking on any of the "Get Tickets" buttons will take you to the relevant SeatGeek page. (For the record: Using Justin Bieber as the example was SeatGeek's idea, not mine.) The page includes a list of tickets available from a range of other sites including StubHub, eBay, and TicketsNow, and a map showing where all those tickets would actually seat you.
