July 15, 2015 (Estevan, SK) – In support of the mission to energize the games, Ticketpro, an online ticketing provider, is being brought on as a partner to the Estevan 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games committee.
At today’s announcement, Brian Senchuk, Co-Chair, of the Games Committee, welcomed Ticketpro as a key partner for the event, noting that the partnership will contribute to the success of the Games.
“In our bid for the 2016 Games, we promised to be innovative and environmentally friendly” says Senchuk. “Online ticketing has not been done at a Saskatchewan Games in the past. We found a great partner in Ticketpro to assist us in launching this innovation to the Games. This will provide the spectators the opportunity to purchase their tickets prior to arriving in Estevan, so that they do not have to miss any of the fun while they are here. It was our goal to be environmentally responsible, and providing a convenient paperless solution to ticketing is a small step towards that goal. ”
“Ticketpro is thrilled to be part of the 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games”, said Ann Barker, Operations Manager for Ticketpro. “Ticketpro’s mission is to develop innovative and flexible services that guarantee optimal ticket sales for its clients while being a strategic partner in the success of their events. Ticketpro is pleased to be the official ticketing provider for the Estevan 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games. We look forward to collaborating with their team and celebrating the successes of everyone taking part in the games.
As part of the partnership, a silver sponsorship will be awarded to Ticketpro for their contributions. “Ticketpro will be onsite with two employees during the week of the Games,” stated Brenda Lyons, Co-Chair of the Marketing and Promotions Committee that oversees admissions. “They have years of experience in ticketing major events. Having them offer their expertise and support not only in the year leading to the Games, but also during the week of the Games will be invaluable to our committee and our volunteers. We see this as a positive partnership, which will enhance the experience of the visitors to Estevan. “
