Looks like they will be selling tickets through their own websites/New Era tickets.

Looking at the new era website it says the venues are in charge of setting the service fee's so hopefully we'll see a decrease. Other features that seem interesting is they get their buyer data and can start fan loyalty tracking through ticket sales as well.

Well - this provides a potential, stress POTENTIAL insight as to why the athletic ticketing office ahs been so FUBAR with understanding the demographics of their own ticket buyers.

Complete guess here - complete GUESS - that under Hathaway's management, we outsourced and gave away a significant chunk of control and management of our own ticket sales. I could be wrong about that. But no matter what happened in the past, moving forward - having access to, and be able to put to use for sales drive purposes - the demographics or your ticket buyers, is something that I"ve been harping on for years that the athletic department seemed completely unable to grasp.

Nice move.

I noticed it was a new company when I checked out the XL site last night for the Pearl Jam show.
