StubHub Recruits Three New NCAA Ticketing Partners
Oregon State, Purdue and Air Force Join Market Leader to Benefit Fan Base
StubHub, the fan's ticket marketplace,
today announced multi-year sponsorship deals with three new nationally
prominent university athletic programs to become each team's exclusive
secondary ticketing partner. The Air Force Falcons of the Mountain West
Conference, Oregon State Beavers of the Pac-10 and Purdue Boilermakers of
the Big Ten have all agreed to join forces with StubHub to provide their
fan bases with a complete secondary ticketing option. The schools join
StubHub's family of NCAA team partners that already include Southern
California, Alabama, Stanford and California.
The Beavers, Boilermakers and Falcons all boast devoted fan bases, with
prime seats to games always at a premium for each school. The partnership
between StubHub and each institution not only provides a team-endorsed
marketplace for those seeking tickets, but also allows a safe, convenient
way for fans to resell tickets to other fans for games they cannot attend.
"Purdue is excited to promote a secondary ticket marketplace as a valuable
service for our season ticket holders and fan base," said Greg Christopher,
Associate Athletics Director for External Relations. "StubHub is the only
open marketplace where Boilermaker fans can find the best seats for our
football and basketball games. The complete buy/sell solution was the key
difference-maker for us when deciding on a secondary ticketing partner."
StubHub's unique delivery system and FanProtect(TM) Guarantee will be of
key interest to the legions of new fans using the marketplace for the first
time in the 2006 season. Both elements differentiate StubHub from other
secondary ticket options such as auction or bulletin board sites. The
FanProtect(TM) Guarantee ensures that every customer, both buyers and
sellers, will receive the service promised to them or their money back.
Seven day a week customer service allows users to call in with any
questions are issues they may have for immediate resolution.
"StubHub welcomes the Beavers, Boilermakers and Falcons to our family of
NCAA partners," said Colin Evans, vice president of business development
for StubHub. "The fans of these great programs will receive the highest
levels of customer service from StubHub that fans of other major collegiate
programs have been enjoying for a few years now."
