Sixers Going with Ticketmaster as "Official Ticketing Partner"
Some Sixers news, via truncated press release:
PHILADELPHIA – AUG. 18, 2021 – The Philadelphia 76ers announced today a new partnership with Ticketmaster, the global market leader in live event ticketing. The long-term deal designates Ticketmaster as the Official Ticketing Partner of the Philadelphia 76ers and its G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats. In conjunction with the new partnership, 76ers fans will now be able to buy, sell, transfer and access tickets all in one place – whether buying direct or from other fans – at Ticketmaster.com, Sixers.com or through the Official 76ers Team Mobile App.
…
As part of the exclusive partnership, Ticketmaster will receive prime marketing real estate during 76ers home games, including front pole placement, courtside LED, 360 LED and more. Ticketmaster will also present in-game fan contests, provide seat upgrades and other promotions. In addition to in-arena signage and promotions, Ticketmaster will be fully integrated into 76ers digital and social content across all platforms.
…
The Philadelphia 76ers 2021-22 official season schedule will be announced later this week and tickets will soon be available on Ticketmaster.com, Sixers.com and through the Official 76ers Team Mobile App.
The Sixers were previously with Stubhub, and had the company logo in patch form on their jerseys. That will be replaced by something else this season, though I’m not sure what the new patch is going to be. I’d recommend Wawa, Lew Blum Towing, or Rand Spear, accident lawyer. All three of those would be an upgrade over Stubhub.
Anyway, next order of business is to trade Ben Simmons for Damian Lillard. Time to #DoTheDeal. Then we’ll roll the balls out and get the layup line going and fire up training camp.
