Vivid Seats has become the exclusive ticket partner of North American regional sports network CSN Chicago.
The deal links the ticket marketplace with the media organisation that is a partnership between Chicago’s major sports teams and NBC Sports Group. The cable television channel and media platform extensively covers MLB baseball World Series champions the Chicago Cubs and rivals the White Sox as well as the city’s Cubs NBA basketball team and Blackhawks NHL ice hockey franchise.
The deal is a major development for Vivid Seats, which is based in the Illinois city and is a major secondary marketplace for tickets to live sports, concert and theatre events.
“We’re thrilled about this opportunity to work with CSN Chicago. It is always great to collaborate with a local company,” said Alexia Caulk, Vivid Seats’ director of business development. “Locally and nationwide, we look forward to providing CSN users the ability to experience their favourite live events with the simplicity and convenience of our platform.”
Through the partnership, visitors to CSNChicago.com can now shop for tickets as well as accessing the latest sports news. Dedicated links and ads on pages throughout CSNChicago.com will be available for streamlined access to tickets currently for sale in the Vivid Seats marketplace. Vivid Seats just recently expanded its presence in college sports by signing a partnership with Marquette College.
“We’re excited to begin our partnership with the great team at Vivid Seats, enabling our CSNChicago.com visitors to purchase tickets to hundreds of local and national sporting events and so much more via their laptop or mobile device,” said Walter Cade, vice-president (sales) for CSN Chicago.
