Young alumni able to enjoy flexible option to attend games
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - When Boston College Athletics created its ticketing platform FLIGHT, it did so with a main goal of re-engaging with its young alumni and providing them a more flexible option to attend games.
The athletics department is excited with the initial results of the program and expect sales to continue to increase throughout the football season, and as the winter sports begin. The program has also caught the attention of Delta Air Lines, who has since partnered with BC and is now sponsoring FLIGHT, and will look to continue to add value to those who purchase throughout the year.
"True to our innovative nature, as one of the first collegiate departments offering a subscription-based ticketing platform, FLIGHT is all about listening to our Young Alumni and giving them what they want," said William V. Campbell Director of Athletics Martin Jarmond. "We know they are our future fan base and we have to make it easy and affordable for them to come back after graduating."
Young Alumna, Kaitlyn Patel '18, has enjoyed the flexibility and technology behind FLIGHT. "I really like how you are able to add your ticket to apple wallet on the iPhone which makes it faster and easier to access at gate check-in." says Patel.
Ryan Jong, BC '13, adds "My wife and I have had no issues downloading tickets off of the text message alert and using the tickets to get into the first two football games. We think this is a great program and definitely makes it easier when deciding to go to more basketball/hockey games later this year."
FLIGHT is available online at bceagles.com or by calling 617-552-GoBC.
