SAN DIEGO — Tixr, the world's fastest-growing privately held primary ticketing and event commerce marketplace, will serve as the new exclusive ticketing platform for University of San Diego Athletics, with season and individual-game tickets for Torero football, volleyball, and men's and women's soccer are available for purchase via Tixr now.
The long-term partnership will enable San Diego to transition away from a legacy ticketing solution to a fully digital platform powered by Tixr's modern ticketing and unified commerce technology. On top of a USD-branded purchase experience, Torero fans will enjoy a highly visual, user-friendly interface for seamless browsing, a superior mobile experience, and intuitive reserved seat selection across the entirety of the Toreros' ticketed athletic events.
"We are beyond excited to partner with Tixr in an effort to deepen our relationship with USD students, faculty, staff, alumni, and fans. Tixr's extraordinary customer service, flexible and cutting-edge technology, innovative spirit, and unmatched expertise will help us do just that," said Bill McGillis, Associate Vice President/Executive Director of Athletics for University of San Diego. "Partnering with Tixr streamlines our ticketing operations and gives us powerful ways to uplevel one of the most important touch points we have with the USD community. There is no doubt Torero fans everywhere will enjoy a truly enhanced ticket-buying and gameday experience as a result of this partnership."
