Tickets.com, a leading provider of integrated arts, entertainment and sports ticketing solutions, announced Monday that it signed a long-term contract extension with the Buffalo Sabres hockey team and its home venue, the HSBC Arena. The renewal of the ticketing services includes a partnership with StubHub for secondary ticket market integration.
This added value feature will give season ticket holders the option of reselling, transferring or donating tickets as well as managing their ticket inventory using the MyTickets interface from Tickets.com.
The agreement between Tickets.com, the Sabres and HSBC Arena makes StubHub “The official fan to fan ticket marketplace of the Buffalo Sabres.” For Tickets.com, it marks the first time one of their non-Major League Baseball clients has partnered with StubHub – the largest secondary ticket seller in the industry.
"We are excited to be extending and diversifying our longstanding relationship with the Buffalo Sabres and HSBC Arena," says Brian Roberts, vice president of sales, Tickets.com. "We're also eager to bring the benefits of the secondary marketplace to Sabres fans and patrons of HSBC."
“The commitment that Tickets.com has to best-in-class customer service and ongoing technological innovation has been a major benefit for the Sabres and HSBC Arena," says Dan DiPofi, CEO, Buffalo Sabres. "We are thrilled to now offer secondary market integration to our season ticket holders and fans, and are confident that it will greatly enhance their experiences with our team and venue. We look forward to growing our relationship with Tickets.com."
