Starting March 2nd, The Aspire Group began an eight-week remote ticket sales campaign out of their USA National Sales Center for the Penn Relays – the nation’s oldest track and field event which is taking place April 23 – 25 at the University of Pennsylvania’s Franklin Field.

Tickets for the oldest and largest track and field competition in the United States will be sold by three Aspire sales consultants, equipped with the highest quality ticket sales training in the sport and entertainment industry.

“While their proven sales results speak for themselves, we wanted to partner with The Aspire Group for the exemplary customer service that they can provide to our fans. Every year, the Penn Relays get better and better. We are looking forward to The Aspire Group helping us to continue this forward momentum,” said Dave Johnson, Director of The Penn Relays.

The Aspire Group has a close connection to this event having had two employees participate in the event. Bill Duffy, COO, ran in the Penn Relays during his time at Princeton and more recently Alan Pandiani, Manager of Client Partner Development, ran during his collegiate career at Providence College.

“Having participated in this event in my collegiate career at Providence College, I can personally say this was one of my most memorable experiences in sports. Outside of the Olympic Games, this is truly the pinnacle of the sport in terms of atmosphere, tradition, and competition. I couldn’t be more proud to have our company supporting this historic event, and we intend to deliver tremendous results,” stated Alan Pandiani, Aspire’s Manager of Client Partner Development.
