Football League appoints Ticketmaster as ticketing supplier

alt The English Football League has granted Ticketmaster, the global ticketing giant, official ticketing supplier status for the 2009/10 season.

The award promotes Ticketmaster  to the premier league as one of only four ticketing companies to be given full 'approved ticketing supplier status’. The company was invited to tender earlier in the year.

 

 Currently, Ticketmaster provides ticketing services for almost half the Championship and League 1 teams in The Football League.

Chris Edmonds, Managing Director, Ticketmaster UK, said:

 “We are committed to offering our Football League clients access to innovative and world class retail and software ticketing solutions to help them engage with their fans."

David Malkinson, Football League Marketing Manager, said:

 "League clubs are always looking at ways to build long-term and profitable relationships with their fans. In order to support clubs our approved supplier programme helps them to choose those ticketing suppliers who are suitable for their business requirements."
