TICKETS.COM NETS RANGERS AGREEMENT

The Texas Rangers has signed a long-term ticketing agreement with Tickets.com – a subsidiary of Major League Baseball.

Owners Hicks Sports Group penned the deal which will see the Rangers manage all of its offline distribution outlets while Tickets.com will host the ticketing application and online ticketing through texasrangers.com.

In addition to providing the Rangers with its ticketing software and hardware, the agreement allows Tickets.com to provide the ticketing system to the Mesquite Championship Rodeo at Resistol Arena and the Legends of the Game Museum at Ameriquest Field in Arlington.

The Mesquite Rodeo is one of the largest rodeos in Texas and boasts attendance in excess of 200,000 each season.

Said Texas Rangers’ president Jeff Cogen: “We have enjoyed our partnership with Tickets.com over the past eight years as we have worked together to introduce and improve our online ticketing platform.

“We are excited about introducing ticket kiosks to provide another convenient way for Rangers fans to select their seats and streamline the game day experience.”
