Congratulations to our long term client Blackpool on their promotion to the EFL Championship!

Congratulations to Britton Stackhouse on being selected as a Power Player in Sports Business Journal’s 2021 Power Players: Sports Facility Technology list! Since Britton joined our team to run US Client Strategy seven years ago, our company has grown exponentially on all fronts. We’ve signed over 20 major league sports teams including powerhouse brands like the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Heat, majorly grew our presence in the MLS, NBA, NFL, and also added new office locations and account managers to work with our growing roster of clients. Thanks Britton for all your hard work and leadership in pushing the Fortress solutions forward and helping teams get an unparalleled experience for their fans, and of course to Sports Business Journal and everyone who nominated Britton to be featured as a Power Player in this special issue.

Digital Ticketing – The Safe and Secure Solution

“We cannot wait to welcome our fans back to the stadium as soon as possible, and when that happens it will be via 100% digital tickets in all home areas of the stadium. Over the last year we have worked closely with Ticketmaster and Fortress to develop a smooth journey from ticket purchase through to stadium access which will allow easy, safe and contactless entry using their smartphone device.”
