The University of Tennessee Athletic Department on Wednesday announced an expanded partnership with Vivid Seats, one of the largest online ticket marketplaces. UT's ticketing platform, AllVols.com, is now fully integrated with Vivid Seats' online ticket marketplace, giving Tennessee fans exclusive access to easily and securely buy and sell tickets to UT games. The multi-year agreement represents the first time Vivid Seats has fully integrated its ticket marketplace with a partner's ticketing platform.
"The University of Tennessee and Vivid Seats' newly integrated platform gives season ticketholders and all of Vol Nation a streamlined way to buy and sell tickets to Tennessee games," UT Senior Associate Athletic Director for Strategic Initiatives Janeen Lalik said. "We are thrilled to be working with Vivid Seats to enhance the convenience of the overall Tennessee fan experience."
