Via the ACC:
The Atlantic Coast Conference announced Monday it has partnered with Elevate Sports Ventures to support the league with business intelligence and analytics, revenue optimization, ticket and experiential ticket package strategy, sales and distribution, and advancing the fan experience. The ACC will work closely with Elevate Marketplace (Dynamic Pricing Partners), to create efficiencies in ticket pricing, scaling, sales, and distribution. As part of the multi-faceted strategic partnership, DPP will become the league’s preferred secondary ticket market reseller.
Elevate will also conduct a full-potential study during both the 2023 Ally ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament (March 1-5) and the 2023 New York Life ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament (March 7-11) with the goal of optimizing fan experience, creating new, high-end ticket and experiential packages, and maximizing ticket revenue streams. The two-part study will utilize fan-driven data, including surveys and focus groups, to create and execute 2024 tournament ticketing and marketing strategy. Elevate previously executed ticketing operations and event strategy for the 2022 ACC Football Championship Game.
“We look forward to our ongoing relationship with Elevate Sports Ventures as we continue the conference’s prioritization surrounding business innovation and revenue generation,” said ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips, Ph.D. “Elevate, powered by its analytics, brings a wealth of experience in business intelligence and technology that will only further enhance our future ticketing strategies."
“Through this new multi-year partnership, Elevate Sports Ventures is proud to play an integral role in supporting the ACC as it crafts and executes its vision for the future of fan experience across the Conference and its member schools,” said Jonathan Marks, Chief Executive Officer of Dynamic Pricing Partners, an Elevate Sports Ventures company. “In a partnership beyond solely ticketing, Elevate Marketplace and Insights looks forward to delivering on our shared vision of growth by optimizing revenue, maximizing fan experience, and creating new and unique ticket and experiential packages for the ACC basketball tournaments and football championship game. This relationship strengthens our ability to drive revenue and impact for the more than 75 NCAA universities with whom we currently partner.”
