(OHL), TD Place concerts and events
The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG) and StubHub, the world’s largest ticket marketplace, today announced a
multi-year partnership making StubHub the Official Ticket Marketplace for OSEG sports teams and events at the arena and stadium at
TD Place. The partnership includes ticketing integration to benefit fans as well as marketing and sponsorship rights.
“We’re thrilled to be able to offer fans and TD Place event goers the opportunity to access the world’s most trusted secondary
ticket marketplace,” said John Mathers, VP Ticket Sales and Marketing. “Customer service is at the heart of this partnership
and StubHub has the technology and vision to enhance our fans’ ticketing experience, today and in the future.”
Through StubHub’s strategic partnership integration with industry leader Spectra Ticketing & Fan Engagement, OSEG team
season ticket holders will access StubHub as their official secondary ticket marketplace. The service is a fully-integrated
platform that allows season and single-game ticket holders for the Ottawa REDBLACKS, Ottawa 67s, and Ottawa Fury FC to resell
tickets with confidence and ease. It also provides buyers a safe and secure shopping experience, with instant tickets upon purchase
via mobile delivery or print-at-home.
“StubHub is proud to partner with OSEG and our first CFL club for the opportunity to showcase to fans in Ottawa our commitment
to customer service and our passion for live events,” said Jeff Poirier, General Manager of StubHub Canada. “We look forward
to working with OSEG to provide fans with an exceptional and trusted experience, ensuring we make it easy to buy and sell tickets
on-the-go.”
The deal provides the technology and tools for a truly seamless and secure ticketing experience for Ottawa sports and
entertainment fans, making it easier than ever to support their team or experience their favourite artist at TD Place or TD Place
Arena.
The industry-leading technology, paired with StubHub’s wealth of data, will also provide fans with the clearest pricing guidance
and the most accurate recommendations to get the very best value. Every transaction is also backed by StubHub’s 100% money-back Fan
Protect Guarantee and access to exceptional 24/7 customer service.
