Nov. 17, 2014 Villanova Basketball fans can now enjoy enhanced benefits when looking for tickets to their favorite Wildcat games on the secondary market as the athletic department announced today a new partnership with Vivid Seats, the nation's largest independently owned and operated marketplace for live event tickets.
In addition to Vivid Seats' unrivaled online security and high-quality service, which includes real-time turnaround of payment to season ticket holders selling their tickets through Vivid Seats, Wildcat fans can now benefit from an alternative to the ticket transfer system offered through Villanova's Online Ticket Office and can help ensure that the Pavilion is packed with Wildcat fans for every game this season.
This new partnership will also afford fans who are not season ticket holders the opportunity to purchase tickets to sold out Villanova Men's Basketball games at vividseats.com or by calling (844) 279-4347. The Vivid Seats Ticket Marketplace will be the recommended ticket source for dedicated fans planning to follow the Wildcats on the road and throughout postseason play.
The deal was brokered by IMG College, the multimedia rights partner of Villanova University.
"We are excited to announce this new partnership with Vivid Seats, which we believe will greatly enhance the overall buying experience for our fans," said Villanova Director of Athletics Vince Nicastro. "Vivid Seats has made a significant commitment to Villanova Athletics, and its service will provide Wildcat fans a safe and efficient way to further pack the Pavilion and Wells Fargo Center for Villanova home games."
As part of the Vivid Seats Give Back Program, Villanova Athletics will receive a percentage of proceeds from every ticket sold through Vivid Seats links on villanova.com as well as links present in email and social media correspondence from the athletic department.
"We are excited to partner with a premier institution like Villanova and are thrilled to be able to extend our leading ticket marketplace to Wildcat fans," said A.J. Machosky, Vice President of Sponsorships at Vivid Seats. "First-rate customer service and selection remains a top priority for us and we look forward to helping connect Villanova fans with tickets to every game this season as well as the best live events nationwide."
