The National Basketball Association has announced an extension of its partnership with Ticketmaster. Currently, 24 NBA teams use Ticketmaster as their secondary ticketing provider.
“We are pleased to extend our partnership with Ticketmaster, helping us continue to deliver the most fan-friendly ticketing experience possible and provide our fans with a trusted, convenient place to buy and sell tickets,” said Amy Brooks, president of team marketing and business operations and chief innovation officer at the NBA.
