The iconic Headingley Pavilion to be renamed the Seat Unique Pavilion in deal which sees further expansion of the premium ticketing category inside Headingley Stadium

LEEDS, England and LONDON, July 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Seat Unique, the premium ticketing marketplace for live events, has today announced that the iconic Carnegie Pavilion and Media Centre will now be known as the Seat Unique Pavilion, reflecting a new era of exceptional fan experiences at the Headingley Stadium.
This marks a significant milestone in Seat Unique’s partnership with Yorkshire County Cricket Club, which began in 2022 when Seat Unique signed an exclusive 4 year partnership to become the club’s Official Online Premium Ticketing and Hospitality Sales Platform. This extended agreement will see the further expansion of the premium ticketing category inside Headingley Stadium, solidifying Seat Unique’s commitment to increasing access to even more premium experiences for fans.
Yorkshire CCC initially sought help from Seat Unique to attract new audiences into their hospitality facilities, tapping into the post-Covid demand for live events. Leveraging Seat Unique’s innovative technology and customer reach, Yorkshire CCC has transformed its booking process, granting fans 24/7 online access to premium experiences and in turn boosting online sales by an impressive 400%.
A standout achievement of the partnership has been the successful launch of a brand-new premium ticketing category within the stadium. By utilising the Seat Unique platform, Yorkshire CCC have been able to dynamically price this exclusive category of seats, providing fans with a first-class experience and maximising the revenue it has been able to generate from their very best seats. In just their first season, Seat Unique’s dynamic pricing software generated Yorkshire CCC an additional £500k in revenues which the club has been able to use to lower the price of entry level tickets, improving the facilities within the ground, and, most importantly, invest back into grass roots cricket.
Further highlights of the partnership include an 80% uplift in new customers purchasing premium tickets with 45% of all sales taking place outside of standard office hours.
Building on this momentum, The Seat Unique Pavilion, will showcase Headingley Stadium’s superb hospitality facilities. Fans will have access to premium padded seats positioned behind the bowler’s arm, providing an unparalleled view of the action. Additionally, a dedicated bar area will further elevate the premium experience, allowing fans to enjoy cricket from Headingley’s very best seats.
With a renewed partnership extending until 2027, Seat Unique and Yorkshire CCC have demonstrated their shared commitment to unlocking premium experiences for fans. Seat Unique’s marketplace, attracting over 300,000 fans monthly, will now grant more supporters than ever before the opportunity to enjoy world-class cricket experiences.
Robin Sherry, CEO and Founder at Seat Unique said: “We are thrilled by the incredible success of our partnership with Yorkshire CCC. The addition of the Seat Unique Pavilion to the premium ticketing offering at Headingley further exemplifies our commitment to opening up access to unparalleled fan experiences.”
“Yorkshire Cricket have consistently shown their commitment to offering the very best live experiences at what is an iconic ground. We have always admired their passion for investing into grass-roots cricket and attracting new audiences to the sport and we are delighted to have played a part in that by providing Yorkshire with the tools and platform to maximise their revenue from their very best tickets and packages and to expand their customer reach.”
Stephen Vaughan, CEO for The Yorkshire County Cricket Club said: “This extended partnership with a brilliant brand is an exciting step for Yorkshire.”
“The Yorkshire Family has a great future, welcoming everyone into our ground and this game, and we are pleased to have this extended partnership and to see Seat Unique’s commitment to Yorkshire Cricket.
“As this relationship develops, it will continue to bring further opportunities to our members, our supporters and communities and our teams and we are delighted to have Seat Unique alongside us.”
Tom Webster, a Business Development Manager for Yorkshire CCC, said: “It is with sincere pride that we have extended our partnership with Seat Unique.
“We are excited to work with Seat Unique in what is a new chapter in this partnership.
“Headingley has always been a ground like no other and we look forward to welcoming more and more fans to enjoy our match day experiences.”
About Seat Unique
Having launched its marketplace just months before the first national lockdown, Seat Unique have witnessed first hand the post-Covid resurgence in demand for live experiences, in particular in the premium ticketing category.
Seat Unique has rapidly become the go-to, one-stop destination for access to the best seats in the house, with over 300,000 fans a month now browsing the Seat Unique platform searching for their next live event.
Seat Unique provides premium access to live events direct from source, meaning only rightsholders (clubs, venues, promoters, authorised sellers) have the permission to sell tickets on the platform. This means guaranteed access for all fans and a safe, secure buying environment in what is otherwise a fragmented, untrusted, offline market.
For rightsholders, Seat Unique is giving control of premium inventory and hospitality back to the people who own it, delivering brand new audiences to a section of stadia and venues typically reserved for corporates, and importantly, opening up new revenue streams through its innovative and proprietary dynamic pricing software.
To understand how Seat Unique can help drive new customers for your premium ticket and hospitality offering, please email [email protected] and join the ever-growing community of partners benefiting from Seat Unique’s innovative technology and services.

Blocks & Headlines: Today in Blockchain – May 21, 2025

In an era defined by rapid innovation and regulatory shifts, today’s blockchain briefing spotlights five pivotal developments: enterprise-grade data integration, municipal crypto pilots, state-level policy hearings, AI-powered token growth, and secure communications on a public ledger. Across these stories, three key trends emerge:
-
Enterprise Adoption & Data Integration
-
Government Experimentation & Oversight
-
AI & Security Innovations in Crypto
Below, we dissect each story’s essence, unpack its broader implications, and offer opinion-driven insight for Web3 stakeholders.
1. Space and Time Joins Forces with Microsoft Fabric
Source: Chainwire / The Defiant
On May 20, 2025, Space and Time Labs (SXT)—a zero-knowledge data platform backed by Microsoft’s M12 Ventures—announced integration of its multichain index (Bitcoin, Sui, Ethereum) into Microsoft Fabric’s OneLake environment. This partnership delivers real-time, verifiable blockchain data directly within Azure, enabling developers and enterprises to build data-driven Web3 and AI applications without custom pipelines.
Opinion: Embedding verifiable on-chain data into mainstream analytics tools marks a watershed moment. As traditional enterprises crave decentralized insights, Fabric’s native access to SXT’s ZK-proven data could accelerate blockchain analytics, foster hybrid cloud-Web3 solutions, and reduce vendor lock-in. Expect more legacy tech giants to pursue similar alliances.
2. New York City Eyes Crypto for Taxes & Records
Source: DL News
Mayor Eric Adams revealed plans to form a Digital Assets Advisory Council to explore crypto-based payments for municipal services, including taxes, birth/death certificates, and land records. While specifics remain under wraps, Adams highlighted zero-knowledge proofs as a privacy-preserving tool for public documentation on distributed ledgers.
Opinion: New York’s initiative signals growing municipal appetite for blockchain beyond investments. By potentially accepting tax payments in crypto and securing vital records on-chain, NYC could pioneer use cases that blend transparency with privacy. However, pilot programs must rigorously address volatility, regulatory compliance, and digital inclusion to avoid disenfranchising underserved communities.
3. Wyoming Committee Explores Blockchain, AI & Right-to-Repair
Source: Wyoming Public Media
During its first interim meeting (May 14–15, Jackson Hole), Wyoming’s Select Committee on Blockchain, Financial Technology and Digital Innovation reviewed the state’s proposed Wyoming Stable Token—tethered 1:1 to USD—and examined AI governance and right-to-repair legislation. The Stable Token Commission anticipates a July 4 alpha launch, while lawmakers debated CBDC distinctions, tokenized real-world assets, and consumer repair rights.
Opinion: Wyoming continues to cement its reputation as a blockchain haven. Explicit carve-outs distinguishing stablecoins from CBDCs, coupled with regulatory sandboxes for AI and repair laws, underscore a holistic approach to innovation. Other states should monitor Wyoming’s alpha testing outcomes to inform balanced policy frameworks that nurture Web3 while safeguarding consumer interests.
4. AI Tokens Surge in Crypto’s New Tango
Source: The Economic Times
Himanshi Lohchab reports that AI-centric utility tokens—built to autonomously execute services like compute renting (Render), predictive analytics (SingularityNET), and data marketplaces (Ocean Protocol)—have seen market caps soar from $2.7 billion to nearly $30 billion within a year. Key players include Near Protocol’s AI modules, ICP, The Graph, and emerging AI agents that generate revenue per usage. Institutional interest from Grayscale, BlackRock, and Fidelity further validates the trend.
Opinion: The AI-blockchain convergence is no fleeting fad. AI tokens promise programmable revenue streams and decentralized toolchains, but they also introduce autonomous risk vectors—buggy smart contracts, accountability gaps, and regulatory ambiguity. Security audits, standardized interoperability protocols, and clear legal frameworks will be crucial to sustain investor confidence.
5. BSV Association Selects Binarii Labs for Secure Communications
Source: CoinGeek (via PRNewswire)
The BSV Association has designated Binarii Labs to implement BinariiDSM, an encrypted file exchange and messaging suite that logs proofs of record on the BSV blockchain. This integration ensures immutable audit trails, data resilience, and end-to-end confidentiality for enterprises seeking verifiable trust without centralized intermediaries.
Opinion: As data privacy regulations tighten globally, blockchain-anchored communication platforms like BinariiDSM offer a compelling alternative to legacy VPNs and secure email. By immutably recording metadata on-chain, organizations can demonstrate compliance, simplify audits, and deter insider threats. Look for BSV’s secure-messaging model to inspire similar offerings on other smart-contract platforms.
Conclusion: Navigating a Dynamic Blockchain Frontier
Today’s stories reaffirm that blockchain is no longer an experimental niche—it’s permeating analytics, public services, legislative agendas, tokenomics, and secure communications. To thrive:
-
Forge Strategic Alliances: Enterprises should partner with ZK and data-fabric innovators to embed blockchain insights into their analytics stacks.
-
Pilot Pragmatically: Municipalities must balance visionary crypto use cases with compliance, volatility management, and equitable access.
-
Craft Balanced Policy: States can emulate Wyoming’s sandbox approach—distinguishing stablecoins from CBDCs, while addressing AI and repair rights.
-
Secure the Autonomous Agent Era: As AI tokens multiply, enforce rigorous security audits and interoperability standards.
-
Leverage On-Chain Trust: Consider blockchain-anchored communications for immutable audit trails and enhanced data resilience.
By embracing these actions, organizations and policymakers can harness blockchain’s transformative power while mitigating emerging risks.
