STUBHUB IS ALL ABOUT CONNECTING FANS TO THE LIVE EXPERIENCES THAT THEY LOVE, SAID BRIAN O’MALLEY, HEAD OF SPORTS PARTNERSHIPS & BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AT STUBHUB.

and family. Currently, getting tick- ets from yourself into the hands of friends, family or business clients is a logistical challenge. In 2019, you can transfer tickets through your mobile device where the transferred ticket will appear on the mobile device. As a note, Thomas & Mack Center staff will scan either a hard ticket or your mobile device this year. The second improve- ment allows you to buy and sell tickets directly on StubHub through your mobile device. What do ticket holders need to do to access digital tickets? Fans in many sports have been trans- ferring tickets for several years. This is not new technology. It is proven and secure. If you have flown on an airline over the past several years, the digital boarding pass is a common feature. We will now bring these con- veniences to you. How best do you describe the new system? The new system and features will be promoted to Wrangler NFR fans this fall. Once an account is setup through the Paciolan Ticket System, these features will be available through your mobile device. Our staff will work closely with everyone to educate all on the process. More StubHub Partnership Details Las Vegas Events, organizers of the Wrangler NFR, have entered into an exclusive partnership with StubHub as the Official Secondary and Fan-to-Fan Site of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Through this partnership, Wrangler NFR season ticket holders looking to sell tickets and rodeo fans will be able to use one trusted online service to buy and sell tickets safely and securely via mobile or desktop.
