StubHub, the world’s largest ticket marketplace, has signed a
multi-year agreement with Boston College making it the Official
Ticket Marketplace of Boston College Athletics. The agreement is in
partnership with Spectra Ticketing & Fan Engagement, provider
of integrated ticketing and marketing services, and Fenway Sports
Management, the university’s multimedia rights partner.
The agreement with BC includes ticketing integration and
sponsorship rights for football, men’s basketball and men’s hockey.
The partnership marks StubHub’s eighth property in the Atlantic
Coast Conference (ACC), and builds on its position as a major
partner and sponsor in the collegiate space, working with more than
40 Division I universities. The agreement is StubHub’s first with a
university in Massachusetts.
“We are very excited to partner with StubHub to now offer BC
fans an improved ticket resale solution,” JM Caparro,
Boston College senior associate athletic director of external
relations, said. “With StubHub’s dedication to customer
service, this partnership was a natural fit to provide our season
ticket members with a safe and easy platform to resell any tickets
they’re unable to use.”
Through StubHub’s strategic partnership integration with
industry-leader Spectra Ticketing & Fan Engagement, BC season
ticket members will access StubHub as the official ticket
marketplace of the Eagles. The service is a fully integrated
ticketing platform, which allows season- and single-game ticket
holders the opportunity to resell tickets with confidence and ease
on the world’s largest ticket marketplace, while also providing
buyers a safe and secure shopping experience, with instant tickets
upon purchase, via mobile delivery or print-at-home.
“We are thrilled to further enhance our partnership with Boston
College to now provide Eagles fans with access to incredible
tickets to athletic events,” said Kim Damron, chief operating
officer, Spectra Ticketing & Fan Engagement. “Our
partnership with StubHub will provide BC fans with the
industry-leading platform to buy and resell tickets via a
fan-friendly interface on the world’s largest marketplace.”
The industry-leading technology, paired with StubHub’s wealth of
data, will also provide Eagles fans with the clearest pricing
guidance and the most accurate recommendations to get the very best
value. Every transaction is also backed by StubHub’s 100%
money-back Fan Protect Guarantee and access to exceptional 24/7
customer service.
“StubHub is proud to partner with Boston College and Spectra
Ticketing & Fan Engagement as we work together with the
Northeast’s premier athletic program,” said Brian O’Malley,
senior manager, business development, StubHub. “We look forward
to working with our partners and the BC community to provide fans
an exceptional and trusted ticket marketplace, while also offering
a suite of tools that make it easy to buy and sell tickets
on-the-go and support the Eagles.”
For the first time, StubHub has engaged with Fenway Sports
Management (FSM), the university’s provider of marketing and
sponsorship rights management. Included in the portfolio of assets
will be digital and in-venue advertising and promotions for
football, men’s basketball and men’s hockey games.
“This partnership with StubHub and Spectra will provide Eagles
fans with access to a best-in-class ticketing platform on the
world’s largest and most reliable ticket marketplace,” FSM
Managing Director Mark Lev said. “We look forward to working
with these two industry leaders to further enhance the Boston
College Athletic experience.”
