Viagogo wins ticketing deal for London NBA game

Secondary ticketing company viagogo will act as the official secondary ticketing partner for the NBA game between the Boston Celtics and Minnesota Timberwolves on October 10 at The O2 in London.

The deal marks the first time that the NBA has had a secondary ticketing partner in Europe.

In addition, viagogo will auction off exclusive NBA Europe Live packages that will include tickets to the game and related events in London.

Said Sophie Goldschmidt, vice president, marketing partnerships and business development, NBA Europe: “With tickets to the game sold out it is a natural fit for us to partner with viagogo, the leading secondary ticketing company in Europe.”

As part of 2007 NBA Europe Live presented by EA Sports, four NBA teams travel to six European cities in four countries.
