Official Ticket and Hospitality Package Provider for the NCAA Men’s Final Four Introduces Industry-first Fractional Suite Offer

 

LOS ANGELES– Ever been to a sporting event and wondered what the view is like from the luxury suites?

Wonder no more.

For the first time ever, fans can purchase individual suite tickets to the NCAA Men's Final Four thanks to PrimeSport, a subsidiary of RazorGator, the Official Ticket and Hospitality Package Providers of the 2009 NCAA Men’s Final Four. "Fractional" suite tickets are priced at $1,495 apiece and include tickets to all three games of the Men's Final Four, a base catering package consisting of in-suite food and standard bar service, as well as a PrimeSport Suite Hospitality Manager to oversee planning and service.

“Fractional suites have been on the wish list of our fans and corporate customers for a long time, so we’re excited to break the mold and offer a different ticket opportunity than ever before,” said Sharyn Outtrim, vice president of special events with PrimeSport. “Corporations are not entertaining clients this year to the level they have in previous years and that led to several additional suites becoming available. We seized this opportunity to serve the interests of a new group of consumers looking to gain entry to the NCAA’s elite level of hospitality.

“The ability to offer fractional suites for these smaller groups and individuals is a game-changer for us considering the current economic climate.”

RazorGator has been operating as the Official Fan2Fan Ticket Exchange for the NCAA Men’s Final Four for three years and PrimeSport is in its third year managing the NCAA’s Final Four suite inventory, coordinating all aspects of the process from selling tickets to planning the customer experience, and on-site event management.

In addition to the SUITE Experience, PrimeSport has three other hospitality options available to NCAA customers this year at a variety of price points: the SCHOOL Experience is a turn-key option for pregame parties at preferred venues adjacent to Ford Field, targeted to the participating universities’ president’s office, athletics departments and alumni groups; the ELITE Experience is an all-inclusive option featuring a pregame party at Detroit’s Gem Theater along with the only general public on-site hospitality at Ford Field; and the FAN Experience that is included in the purchase price of all 2009 NCAA regional and Men’s Final Four tickets purchased from RazorGator, offering fans another pregame party option in the COBO Center, adjacent to Hoop City® refreshed by Coca-Cola®.
