Towson, Md. – The Towson University Athletic Department and Van Wagner Sports & Entertainment's Collegiate Division announced today an exciting new partnership with TickPick, LLC, that names the company the Official Ticket Marketplace of the Tigers.
TickPick's industry-leading secondary ticketing platform is now the official source of great event tickets for Towson fans. The partnership involves a variety of promotions including tickets to select TU events offered through TickPick at face value. The company is also spreading the word throughout the Towson campus and Baltimore area via signage, promotions and online and social media programs. Tigers fans can win one-of-a kind experiences and tickets to exciting events through upcoming contests.
"TickPick's recent college partnerships give us more exposure to the best fans in the country, and Towson is at the top of that list," Brett Goldberg, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of TickPick said. "We look forward to providing Towson's faculty, student body, and fans with the best ticketing experience including our great support and low fees."
TickPick features an industry-leading approach to ticket selling with its all-in pricing and reduced fees. The company offers simplified transactions without hidden fees or commissions which compare favorably to the 25% or more in total fees charged by competitors.
"Towson is thrilled to partner with TickPick, an emerging leader in the sports and entertainment ticketing industry,"
Tim Leonard, Towson Director of Athletics said. "We are confident they will become a one stop shop for ticketing needs throughout the Towson and Baltimore communities and beyond."

ABOUT TICKPICK, LLC
Founded in 2011, TickPick is reshaping the secondary event ticket marketplace with its no-fees approach. The company does not charge any fees for buyers, setting it apart from competitive firms that charge steep transaction fees. It also leverages its algorithms to look at the price/value ratio for tickets, and then offers value grading for buyers so they can get the optimal experience for their money. Users can also bid on tickets in a process that is similar to financial markets where supply and demand creates a more efficient marketplace. TickPick was founded by Co-CEO's Christopher O'Brien and Brett Goldberg who saw inefficiencies in the ticket marketplace and decided to build a more transparent and cost-effective solution.
