Re: RedBall Acquisition Corp.

Registration Statement on Form S-4

Filed on October 29, 2021

File No. 333-260610

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter sets forth the responses of RedBall Acquisition Corp. (“RedBall,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) to the comments provided by the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in its comment letter dated November 26, 2021 (the “Comment Letter”) with respect to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by RedBall on October 29, 2021.

Concurrently with the submission of this response letter, we are filing, through EDGAR, Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 1”).

For your convenience, we have set forth each comment of the Staff from the Comment Letter in bold and italics below and provided our response below each comment.

Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed on October 29, 2021

Cover Page

1. Please amend your cover page to include the exchange ratio for all of the securities in the First Merger transaction, and the dollar amount of cash consideration per share.

Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and revised the disclosures on the cover page, and on page vi, page xix, page 13 and page 63 of Amendment No. 1.

Selected Definitions, page iv

2. We note your disclosure that “NPS is based on a customer research study of 2,023 consumers performed by Marketing & Research Resources (“M&RR”) in August 2019, which was commissioned by SeatGeek.” Please file the consent of M&RR as an exhibit to your registration statement, or tell us why you believe you are not required to do so. See Section 7 and Rule 436 of the Securities.

Response: We respectfully advise the Staff that we have revised the disclosures on page vii of Amendment No. 1 to reflect an updated survey conducted by a third-party market survey company, Equation Research, in September 2021, on behalf of SeatGeek, Inc. (“SeatGeek”).

We respectfully submit that Equation Research is not an “expert” under Rule 436. Rule 436 requires that a consent be filed if any portion of a report or opinion of an expert is quoted or summarized as such in a registration statement. Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provides that an expert is “any accountant, engineer, or appraiser, or any person whose profession gives authority to a statement made by him.” We respectfully submit that Equation Research is not among the class of persons subject to Section 7 and Rule 436 as “experts” unless we expressly identify such provider as an expert or the statements are purported to be made on the authority of such provider as an “expert.” Accordingly, we believe that Equation Research should not be considered an “expert” within the meaning of Rule 436 and the federal securities laws.

In addition, we note that the consent requirements of Section 7 and Rule 436 are generally directed at circumstances in which an issuer has engaged a third-party expert or counsel to prepare a valuation, opinion or other report specifically for use in connection with a registration statement. The information from this survey included in Amendment No. 1 was not prepared in connection with the Registration Statement or Amendment No. 1. The survey consists of a standard question that is customarily used in surveys measuring net promoter score. As a result of the foregoing, we respectfully submit that the third-party firm is not an expert of the kind whose consent is required to be filed pursuant to Rule 436.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, page xii

3. We note your disclosures cautioning investors not to unduly rely on your statements of belief or similar statements of belief and opinions, including that “These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must be not relied on by an investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability,” and “These statements are based upon information available to us or SeatGeek, as the case may be, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, and while we or SeatGeek, as the case may be, believes such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and such statements should not be read to indicate that such party has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information.” Please revise your disclosure to remove any implication that you are not responsible for assessing the reasonableness and soundness of the information included in your disclosures.

Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and revised the disclosures on pages xiii-xv of Amendment No. 1.

Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and revised the disclosures on page 20 of Amendment No. 1.

7. We note your disclosure that “the Sponsor, SeatGeek or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may purchase public shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares or vote their public shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals.” Please tell us how these purchases comply with Rule 14e-5 of the Exchange Act.

Response: We confirm that none of the Sponsor, SeatGeek or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates, directly or indirectly, have, to date, made any purchases of public shares. Although Rule 14e-5(b) is not applicable to this transaction, any purchases of public shares will be made in compliance with the Exchange Act.

Risk Factors, page 23

10. Disclose the material risks to unaffiliated investors presented by taking the company public through a merger rather than an underwritten offering. These risks could include the absence of due diligence conducted by an underwriter that would be subject to liability for any material misstatements or omissions in a registration statement.

Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and revised the disclosures on page 28 and pages 64-65 of Amendment No. 1.

11. With Respect to the Sponsor and its affiliates please address the following:

• Please highlight the risk that the sponsor will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidate.

Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and revised the disclosures on page 28, page 65 and page 145 of Amendment No. 1.

• Please clarify if the sponsor and its affiliates can earn a positive rate of return on their investment, even if other SPAC shareholders experience a negative rate of return in the post-business combination company.

Risks Related to SeatGeek’s Business and Industry

“The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is likely to continue to have, a material negative impact . . .”, page 23

12. We note your disclosure that “Until such time as fans are allowed at live music, sporting and theatrical events in meaningful numbers, our revenue will be negatively impacted and it is possible these circumstances continue for a longer period of time than currently anticipated.” Please clarify what constitutes “meaningful numbers,” and provide an estimate of the amount of time you expect to pass before these meaningful numbers are reached.

Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and revised the disclosures on pages 29-30 of Amendment No. 1.

“Our contracts with SeatGeek Enterprise clients . . .”, page 34

13. In an appropriate place in your filing, please describe the material terms of your contracts with SeatGeek Enterprise clients. In your discussion, please clarify why these contracts may not be immediately profitable or profitable in a timely manner.

Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and revised the disclosures on page 40 of Amendment No. 1. We respectfully advise the Staff that we do not believe we are required to file any SeatGeek Enterprise client agreements as a material contract under Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K or to disclose the material terms of any such agreements. Please see our response to Comment #46 included herein. We have revised the disclosures on page 230 of Amendment No. 1 to provide a general description of SeatGeek enterprise client agreements.

“Our payments system depends on third-party providers and is subject to risks that may harm our business.”, page 42

14. You disclose that “Nearly all our revenue is associated with payments processed through a single provider, which relies on banks and payment card networks to process transactions.” Please amend your disclosure to identify this provider, briefly discuss the terms of any agreement with this provider, and file any agreement with this provider as an exhibit to your registration statement. Alternatively, tell us why you believe you are not required to do so. See Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.

Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and respectfully advises the Staff that we do not believe we are required to file SeatGeek’s agreement with its primary payments provider as a material contract under Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K, disclose the material terms of the agreement or identify the provider. Item 601(b)(10)(ii)(B) of Regulation S-K provides that if an agreement is such as ordinarily accompanies the kind of business conducted by the company, it will be deemed to be made in the ordinary course of business, and therefore need not be filed unless the agreement is one upon which a registrant’s business is “substantially dependent.” We respectfully advise the Staff that SeatGeek’s agreement with the payment service provider is the type of contract that ordinarily accompanies the kind of business conducted by SeatGeek in the ordinary course, and that SeatGeek’s business is not substantially dependent on the agreement. Though SeatGeek historically and currently uses one of its payment service providers to process nearly all of its transactions, there are no exclusivity requirements with this provider, and SeatGeek has contracts with alternative payment service providers to process transactions. SeatGeek believes that these alternative payment service providers could provide equivalent services on a timely basis and on substantially similar terms as its current payment service provider. We have revised the disclosures on page 48 of Amendment No. 1 to reference the alternative payment service providers.

“Some jurisdictions, in particular jurisdictions outside the United States . . .”, page 42

15. We note your disclosure that “Some jurisdictions prohibit the resale of event tickets (anti-scalping laws) at prices above the face value of the tickets or at all, or highly regulate the resale of tickets, such as by setting maximum resale prices.” Please amend your disclosure to provide additional detail about this regulations, including the jurisdictions affected, a description of the relevant prohibition on resale or maximum resale pricing regulations, and whether these restrictions relate to geographical locations representing a material portion of your revenue.

Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and revised the disclosures on page 49 of Amendment No. 1.

“We are subject to extensive governmental regulation . . .”, page 45

16. We note your disclosure that “We have incurred legal expenses in connection with the defense of governmental investigations and litigation in the past and may be required to incur additional expenses in the future regarding such investigations and litigation.” Please describe the circumstances of these investigations and litigation, if material, including a quantification of the additional expenses incurred.

Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and revised the disclosures on pages 51-52 of Amendment No. 1.

18. We note your disclosure that “we may be forced to close the Business Combination even if we were to determine it is no longer in our shareholders’ best interest to do so (as a result of such material adverse event) which could have a significant negative impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.” However, you disclose on page 104 that the obligations of RedBall, Merger Sub One and Merger Sub Two to consummate the Transactions is conditioned upon there being no Company Material Adverse Effect that is continuing. Please clarify the circumstances under which RedBall would be forced to consummate a transaction with a continuing material adverse event having occurred.

46. We note your disclosure that “Most ticketing agreements are multi-year and exclusive.” In an appropriate place in your filing, please identify the significant multi-year agreements to which you are a party, if any, and briefly describe the material terms of the same, including duration. Please file any relevant agreements as exhibits to your registration statement, or tell us why you believe you are not required to do so. See Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.

Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and respectfully advise the Staff that we do not believe we are required to file any SeatGeek Enterprise client agreements as a material contract under Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K or to disclose the material terms of any such agreements. Item 601(b)(10)(ii)(B) of Regulation S-K provides that if an agreement is such as ordinarily accompanies the kind of business conducted by the company, it will be deemed to be made in the ordinary course of business, and therefore need not be filed unless the agreement is one upon which a registrant’s business is “substantially dependent.” We respectfully advise the Staff that SeatGeek’s Enterprise client agreements constitute the type of contract that ordinarily accompanies the kind of business conducted by SeatGeek in the ordinary course, and that its business is not substantially dependent on any of the respective agreements. None of the SeatGeek Enterprise client agreements alone represent 10% or above of SeatGeek’s revenue for the year ended 2020 or for the nine months ended on September 30, 2021. In addition, SeatGeek currently has over 200 Enterprise client agreements, all of which were negotiated at arm’s length, and is not substantially dependent on any one of the agreements. We have revised the disclosures on page 230 of Amendment No. 1 to provide a general description of SeatGeek enterprise client agreements.

RedBall Acquisition Corp

Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, page F-5

52. We note in your Form 10-Q, filed November 9, 2021, you revised your financial statements as of September 30, 2020 to classify all Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in temporary equity. However, we also note you have not restated all periods presented in your Form S-4. Considering the significant impact of the error on your shareholder’s equity (deficit) for all periods presented, please provide us with your SAB 99 analysis supporting your conclusion that the error is not material to your financial statements. Also, explain how you concluded there was not a material weakness in your internal control over financial reporting and both your internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021.

Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment. RedBall has determined that the error in classifying all Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption as permanent equity, as opposed to temporary equity, was material. As such, RedBall has restated all periods presented in the Form S-4 and revised the disclosures on pages 65-67 and beginning on Page F-1 of Amendment No. 1.
