FC Köln introduces digital waiting room

German club FC Köln has set up a digital waiting room and a digital queue in the FC ticket shop for member sales. This will help to make ticket allocation more transparent, especially for big games at RheinEnergieStadion and away games with smaller guest contingents. All members who are in the 15-minute phase before the respective sales start in the ticket online shop will be entered the digital waiting room.

Predators offer ticket rewards

The Nashville Predators National Hockey League (NHL) team has partnered with FanDuel Sports Network to reward fans. Those that subscribe to watch games either through the FanDuel Sports Network, or the networks’ direct-to-consumer option, are eligible to receive two tickets to select regular home games.
