Elon University announced a new partnership with Ticketmaster, a leader in the ticketing industry.
The partnership will allow for an enhanced ticket-buying experience for Elon Athletics, cultural programs and other campus events.
Janet Williams, vice president for finance and administration and chief financial officer, said she is excited for this collaboration in an Elon University press release.
“We’re excited to provide those attending events on campus with a robust ticketing platform that’s easy to use and has industry-leading capabilities,” Williams said in the release.
According to the release, the collaboration with Ticketmaster will allow for ticketing for all Elon events to be in one place, rather than having campus events and sporting events separate.
Christopher Waters, associate vice president of information technology and chief information officer, also said in the release that the collaboration will increase the availability of ticketing services to others hosting events on campus.
“As we roll out the software to our community, we plan to offer this ticketing service to other offices and student groups,” Waters said.
Additionally, with the help of Ticketmaster’s experience at selling tickets globally, the user experience will be more streamlined and easy. Ticket purchasers will also be able to transfer tickets to friends or family and resell tickets through Ticketmaster’s technology.
Season ticket orders will be kept and rolled over from the previous ticketing system, and season ticket holders will receive information shortly about accessing their new Ticketmaster account.
This streamlined site will be located at elontickets.com, where tickets for the first events on Elon’s Fall Cultural Calendar will go on sale Aug. 27.
