Ticketing leader teams up with Midlands club once again
Future Ticketing is today announcing the renewal of its partnership with Athlone Town AFC.
The multi-year extension of Future Ticketing’s successful relationship with the club comes as Athlone Town AFC consolidates its position in League of Ireland men’s and women’s football. As the leading digital ticketing provider for football clubs in Ireland, Future Ticketing said it is delighted that Athlone Town AFC is part of its impressive portfolio.
Sean O’Connor, a man with a distinguished playing and coaching career, has taken over as Athlone Town AFC men’s first team coach, another demonstration of the club’s intent.
Steven Gray has a laser focus on positive engagement with the regional community so they can support the club across multiple channels.
“We have seen improved results on the pitch and the return of silverware to Athlone Town AFC. But equally important is forging stronger links with the community and this goal has found practical expression in the hosting of summer and Halloween football camps for the local youth, events which can be booked on the Future Ticketing platform. Allied with cultivating an enhanced match day experience for our fans, and leveraging our hospitality assets – where the Future Ticketing platform again plays a critical role – we see this partnership as a key pillar in Athlone Town AFC’s ongoing development.”
Gregory Walker, Client Success Manager, Future Ticketing, said: “Athlone Town, with its commitment to football for all and placing itself at the heart of the local community, perfectly matches the values we hold dear in Future Ticketing.
“Last season Athlone Town’s women’s team lifted the league and cup double and embarked on a European campaign where Future Ticketing’s technology seamlessly facilitated a seating plan for the sold-out home match against Cardiff City. Better fan engagement, more efficient match day management in Lissywollen, greater ease of season ticket renewals and deeper insights into supporters’ needs are all facilitated by our superior ticketing system. Athlone Town is a club whose focus is firmly on the future under CEO Steven Gray and we will accompany the management, staff and players on that upward trajectory.”
Walker said: “All of these developments have come under the stewardship of CEO Steven Gray and his arrival – on the back of an illustrious playing career with Bohemians, Drogheda United and Derry City – as Athlone Town men’s first team coach further underlines the club’s ambition.”
