Seton Hall Athletics Extends and Expands Partnership with Aspire Group

Seton Hall Athletics has elected to continue working with the global leaders in ticket marketing, sales and service through 2018. The partnership extension between Seton Hall Athletics and The Aspire Group includes growing Aspire’s responsibilities to oversee all athletic ticket sales and service as well as continuing to provide database marketing and analytics support.

“We are excited to continue our partnership with The Aspire Group as we build on our recent successes with ticket sales,” stated Bryan Felt, Senior Associate Athletic Director, Development & External Affairs. “Aspire delivers enhanced customer service to our loyal Pirate fans, which will lead to long-term sustainability through deeper customer relationships as well as immediate revenue and attendance results.”

“Seton Hall is a unique property in a diverse sports landscape. The school sits in a traditional college community but is located just a couple of miles from NYC, the mecca of basketball. Our fans demand success, and our Fan Relationship Management Center (FRMC) strives to deliver that demand each and every day,” stated Chris Hernandez, Manager of the Seton Hall Fan Relationship Management Center.

Since 2012, the Seton Hall FRMC has had many accomplishments, including increased new ticket sales revenues by 275%, this past fiscal year produced over a quarter million in new revenue and through database marketing generated close to $44,000 in renewal revenue.
