NHL team Minnesota Wild is looking to revamp its corporate ticketing programme through a partnership with TicketManager.<\/p>\n
The team said all corporate partners and businesses with suites, premium seats and season tickets at Xcel Energy Center will have access to TicketManager\u2019s technology for managing their ticket inventory.<\/p>\n
The Wild\u2019s business customers can use TicketManager to centralise ticket distribution, approval and delivery, as well as access reports on ticket usage, including who scanned tickets at the gate. Those businesses can use TicketManager for all live events in the Twin Cities area, including baseball, football, basketball, hockey and college sports at no cost.<\/p>\n
In addition, team partners will be able to responsibly recapture the value of any unused tickets by using TicketManager to sell unused tickets through the team\u2019s ticketing partner, Ticketmaster.<\/p>\n
