Bracknell Hornets Ice Hockey Club introduce cashless payments

Supporters will also be able to purchase tickets via the club’s Facebook page for the first time. Fans will now be able to purchase tickets for all home games online, or have tickets downloaded onto a mobile phone. Additionally, supporters will be able to pre-purchase match-day programmes and duck and puck tickets for collection on the door.

Danny Perchard, Bracknell Hornets Manager, said:

By partnering with TicketCo it will help us make it easier for supporters to purchase tickets and other items. Fans can still pay on the door, but by adding a digital option it provides more choice and convenience for supporters. For fans who buy tickets online in advance they will also be able to beat the queues at the cash-desk on a match-day.

Joe Edwards, TicketCo Key Account Manager (UK), said:

We are garnering a lot of interest from ice hockey clubs across the UK who are interested in improving the way they engage with supporters digitally, ultimately unlocking incremental revenue streams whilst saving money. Bracknell are a stalwart club in British ice hockey and it’s great to have the opportunity to help them grow. We’re looking forward to supporting more ice hockey clubs across the leagues.

David Kenny, TicketCo Country Manager (UK), said:

It is great to have partnered with another British ice hockey club that is passionate about making payments easier for its supporters. We are looking forward to working with the Hornets and helping them improve the fan experience.
