"UVM Athletics is thrilled to be partnering with Paciolan to provide Catamount Country with this cutting-edge ticketing platform that brings a new level of convenience and access for our great UVM fans," said Director of Athletics Jeff Schulman. "This collaboration reflects our commitment to providing the best possible experience for our loyal supporters as we look forward to another unforgettable year ahead."

Catamount fans will see a vast improvement in the complete ticket-purchasing process as Paciolan's digital technology will enable guests to purchase tickets, receive them instantly via text, and scan for event entry with NFC contactless technology, all on their mobile devices. The partnership also delivers Paciolan-hosted merchant services, unlocking new payment methods such as Apple Pay and Google Pay while also providing fraud and chargeback prevention services.

Beyond primary ticketing, the Paciolan platform will also directly integrate with SeatGeek's secondary ticketing services, providing Catamount ticket holders an easy way to manage and sell their tickets through SeatGeek's highly-rated mobile experience while feeding invaluable data on fans and ticketing back to Vermont Athletics. Vermont will also utilize PACMail, Paciolan's email marketing solution, to allow fans to receive tailored marketing emails alerting them of upcoming events and offers based on their affinities, interests and previous transactions, bringing Catamount fans enhanced engagement with their favorite events and teams.

"We are ecstatic to have Vermont Athletics join the Paciolan community," said Chief Revenue Officer at Paciolan Christian Lewis. "It's an exciting time to be a Catamount and we look forward to engaging new and existing fans for their athletic department with enhanced mobile ticketing and marketing technology."

The Paciolan platform integrates seamlessly into the official website of Vermont Athletics, UVMAthletics.com, which will continue to provide secure, convenient, and easily accessible links to purchase tickets. UVMAthletics.com is powered by SIDEARM Sports, a division of Paciolan's parent company, Learfield.
