“Season ticket sales for the clubs using the Future Ticketing platform are up an average of 19% versus 2019 along with increased pre-sales aided by the digital transformation of clubs on the Future Ticketing platform. It is a great credit to these clubs and their fans who have quickly embraced digital technology driving fan engagement and revenues for the clubs.
