The Green Bay Packers, in partnership with Ticketmaster (NASDAQ:TKTM), Tuesday announced the launch of Packers Ticket Exchange, a service that provides fans looking to buy or sell Packers tickets a safe, convenient and NFL-endorsed resale platform.
Through the groundbreaking agreement, Ticketmaster will operate the official Packers Ticket Exchange that will be accessible from Packers.com, Ticketmaster.com and NFL.com.
"This is another excellent addition to the online resources we offer our ticket holders and fans," said Mark Wagner, Packers director of ticket operations. "Our ticket holders already have been taking advantage of our online account management system, and Ticket Exchange now offers a convenient, team-approved method of selling their tickets to other fans."
"Packers fans expect and deserve to be able to buy and sell their tickets in a safe and easy way," said Eric Korman, Executive Vice President of Ticketmaster. "We're excited to extend our relationship with the Green Bay Packers team as their official resale partner. This is a great win for Packers fans who will benefit from the security and simplicity of our Ticket Exchange platform."
