Southampton FC appoint SecuTix as new ticketing technology partner

Southampton FC have announced a partnership with cloud-based ticketing solution SecuTix that will see the introduction of a new ticketing system for the start of the 2020-21 football season.

Following a competitive pitch, SecuTix will handle both ticketing and hospitality through its SecuTix 360° platform. The appointment is part of the Club’s programme of digital transformation, which aims to deliver a step-change in their fan experience.

Matt Silvester, Southampton FC’s Head of Ticketing, Membership & Hospitality, said:

The Secutix platform allows us to deliver a more bespoke customer platform that will ensure our fans enjoy the very best experience, from a transformational customer journey through to a more flexible account facility. We were impressed by SecuTix’s open platform and ability to connect with the latest in digital technologies to power an improved online experience for our fans and customers.

David Hornby, Managing Director SecuTix UK and Ireland, added:

We’re proud to add Southampton to our growing list of clients in the sports sector. Our priority for the 20/21 season is to develop the overall fan experience, with a focus on making hospitality a more integrated part of the customer journey. We’ll be introducing 3D rendering of both in-stadium seats and the key hospitality suites to give fans an enhanced experience when purchasing tickets and hospitality packages online. Today’s fans expect more and Saints are leading the way in how fans select and buy seats.

 

Tickets through the new platform will go on sale later this month.
