Phillies | Always Loyal with Stored Value

PhilliesScript PNGThe Philadelphia Phillies in tandem with their concessionaire Aramark have been in the stored value game for over 18 seasons.  Working closely with Givex™, a Tickets.com certified solution via the Registered Developer Program, they have taken stored value to a new level.

What is Stored Value?

Stored value is ticket functionality which enables barcoded tickets to have multiple functions, (gate entry, food, beverage, and merchandise redemptions) with the scan of a barcode on a Point of Sale (POS) system.

“The Phillies have been a valued, long-time Givex partner and are using gift cards and Uptix to enhance their fans’ ballpark experiences,” said Debbi Blackburn, Vice President of Business Development at Givex. “Our leading stored-value ticket technology and overall Givex tools provide them with new opportunities to engage with and reward fans for their incredible loyalty,” she added.

Stored value tickets are used every game day at Citizens Bank Park for a slew of programs including, Designated Driver Program, fan appreciation gifts, group outings, club-designated premium areas, customer service issues, and more.

Tampa Bay Rays

Tampa Bay Rays | The Walk Up Game

Going into the 2021 season, the Tampa Bay Rays explored all kinds of new technologies to help them collect more directional data, identify more of their fans, and improve the overall ticketing experience.

Tickets.com sat down with Jimmy Reed, Manager, Strategy & Analytics at the Tampa Bay Rays to discuss the 2021 season and what they learned while welcoming back their fans into the stands.

The Walk-Up Game

A portion of sales for the Rays come from game day ticket purchases at the box office, known as walk-ups. While in the past walk-up sales were done in-person, in 2021, the Rays made modifications to adopt mobile-only ticket sales. On game day, fans looking to purchase tickets were met with QR-code signage which when scanned, took them through the MyProVenue™ ticket purchase flow and then to ticket delivery within the MLB Ballpark™ app.

“We’ve been mobile-only the whole year, we’ve had the ability for fans to scan a QR code to buy tickets through the MyProVenue™ purchase flow, but we really wanted to see if we could take it to that next step to make the experience even quicker.”

San Francisco Giants Offer More Fan Ticket Options & Vaccinated Seating Sections

San Francisco, CA (May 3rd, 2021) – Earlier this month, the San Francisco Giants welcomed baseball fans back to Oracle Park with limited seating capacity.  As is the case with the rest of the live event world, seating capacity continues to evolve as health conditions improve.  By their second homestand, the Giants were able to expand seating capacity by introducing vaccinated sections within Oracle Park.

The new vaccinated seating sections are separate from the physically-distanced, pod seating areas and allow for more fans to attend upcoming games.

With these sections now on sale to the public, fully vaccinated fans can choose to purchase single tickets, tickets for odd-numbered party sizes, or buy tickets for larger groups. Additionally, socially distanced seating pods remain a viable option for any fan. The ticket purchase options are managed within MyProVenue™, the patron-facing web application for tickets organized by each protected sales group.  MyProVenue allows the Giants and Tickets.com to efficiently manage the seating inventory to ensure that the new vaccinated seating sections won’t overlap with the pod-seating sections.  Ashley Connor, Sr. Manager Ticket Solutions, San Francisco Giants commented,

“Protected Sales Groups allowed us to offer fans seating at their comfort level while managing complex seating requirements. We recognized that optionality is important to fans as we gradually increase seating capacity based on approval from local public health officials. Protected Sale Groups enables us to rollout vaccinated or social distance seating based on fan demand without rescaling the seating manifest in advance.”

At Oracle Park

On site, the Giants used Near Field Communications (NFC) ticket scanning at entrances and kept fan contact to a minimum by seating fans at a physical distance from one another.  Using the Janam® handheld scanners, Apple Wallet™ & Google Pay™ NFC  digital tickets are validated by Alfred™, the all in-one access control solution from Tickets.com.

As capacity constraints continue to evolve, the SF Giants and Tickets.com stand ready make quick adjustments to deliver the best fan experiences at the ballpark.
