Paciolan has joined with CN Centre and ice hockey team Prince George Cougars to form new regional ticketing service, TicketsNorth.
College sports specialist Paciolan, formerly Spectra’s Ticketing & Fan Engagement division, will provide the organisation with access to its online and digital ticketing, its Access Management service, as well as the Province of British Columbia ticketing service.
Recently launched TicketsNorth.ca provides fans with a streamlined location to purchase tickets for concerts, hockey, and other events. The regional ticketing service replaces the college’s partnership with Ticketmaster.
“We’re excited to work with Paciolan, in partnership with CN Centre, to better serve Cougars fans,” said Andy Beesley, vice president of business at Prince George Cougars, who play in the Western Hockey League. “Working with the foremost provider of CHL ticketing services will help us raise the bar for customer experience and ticket sales.”
The 6,000-capacity CN Centre in Prince George, British Columbia, will implement Paciolan’s Access Management, which enables guests to bypass call lines, while also providing staff with technology to track and validate real-time attendance, and catch fraudulent tickets. The arena will now boast a digital ticketing system that provides fans with print-at-home and mobile 2D barcode tickets that can be scanned at all events.
“Introducing TicketsNorth will provide exciting new capabilities for live entertainment fans in British Columbia,” said Glen Mikkelsen, general manager at CN Centre. “We’re excited to move forward with Paciolan in this new partnership.”
Recently, Paciolan and long-time partner StubHub expanded their reach in the US college sports market with eight new schools added to their portfolio.
Ahead of the 2017-18 NCAA Football season, Paciolan and StubHub have also agreed renewals with 10 colleges. StubHub is now associated with more than 50 colleges, while Paciolan has more than 120 partners in the sector.
The eight new partners are University of Washington, University of Pennsylvania, Tulane University, Northwestern University, University of Cincinnati, University of Houston, University of Memphis and University of Tulsa.
