PISCATAWAY, N.J. – The Rutgers University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics today announced its continued partnership with Edison, New Jersey-based TixCity, the official secondary ticket partner of Rutgers Athletics since 2014. The new multi-year agreement extends the relationship with TixCity through the 2018-2019 athletic calendar.
As part of the expanded partnership, the Rutgers Fan Exchange powered by TixCity (www.RutgersFanExchange.com) has launched to provide Rutgers fans with an exclusive and safe marketplace to buy and sell tickets. TixCity will also become an official hospitality partner of Rutgers Athletics, which includes its presence in the new fan lounge located in the pregame Block R Party.
“Continuing our partnership with TixCity provides our current and future season ticket holders an easy and safe way to transfer tickets with a trusted partner of Rutgers Athletics,” said Rutgers University Deputy Director of Athletics Sarah Baumgartner. “The ticket exchange program provides a great service to the Rutgers community, as TixCity has proven to be a strong supporter of Rutgers by providing quality service to our fans.”
“We are thrilled to be expanding our partnership with Rutgers University and the athletic program,” said TixCity Founder and CEO, Lon Belvin. “The Rutgers Fan Exchange powered by TixCity will provide Rutgers fans with the comfort and security of knowing they have an exclusive marketplace where they can buy and sell their tickets. We’ve invested into making this exciting new ticket platform fan-friendly, particularly for mobile use. By extending our official secondary ticket and hospitality relationships, we look forward to closely interacting with Rutgers fans for many years to come.”
Utilizing TixCity to transfer tickets will provide current and future season ticket holders with the flexibility to transfer tickets while still maintaining their priority points. A portion of the fees associated with fans’ ticket listings with the service will go to supporting Rutgers Athletics.
TixCity staff will be present at all Rutgers home football games to provide a high level of customer service during the course of the 2016 season.
The new multi-year partnership between Rutgers Athletics and TixCity was handled through IMG College, the exclusive multi-media rights holder for Rutgers Athletics.
