CHICAGO – September 20, 2018 – The newest division of BCD Meetings & Events, BCD Sports, has partnered with a California based ticketing provider to introduce a new tool to their array of client service offerings, BCD Sports Tickets. The online platform will serve as a simple and secure solution for individual and small group ticket requests for current BCD customers as well as the public.
“Our employees and clients saw a need for BCD to provide direct access to individual or small group requests for sporting events or other entertainment options like theatre shows and concerts,” said Charlene Rabideau, SVP and General Manager of BCD Sports. “Individuals can access the site directly and acquire small batch tickets from a secure and reliable source, streamlining coordination and eliminating “middle-men” from this piece of the planning process.”
If additional services are needed for a group, or a client is looking to create a full experience, they can engage the BCD Sports team who can manage this as part of their service offering.
BCD Sports Tickets supports both desktop and mobile display and can be accessed through bcdsports.com to service interest from both internal employees and partners as well as external consumers. The website features tickets from a wide variety of sporting events ranging from premier experiences such as The Masters Tournament to standard season NBA games that can all be purchased quickly and directly with a credit card.
Not only does the platform feature access to an assortment of sporting events, but it also provides access to theatre and concert tickets.
“The available tickets are staples within the sports hospitality market where clients often want more than just a stand-alone ticket to a basketball game or tennis match,” said Rabideau. If you’re attending the Super Bowl, you also want to attend the pre or post game concerts to really ramp up your program and leave you with the feeling that you’ve attended a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
The ticketing platform is found at www.bcdsportstickets.com.
