MOBILE, Ala. — The University of South Alabama Department of Athletics has entered a partnership with Paciolan, the leading provider of ticketing, fundraising, marketing and analytics solutions for college athletics. Paciolan will provide a comprehensive ticketing and marketing solution for South Alabama Athletics and the Mitchell Center to elevate the fan experience for Jaguar fans.

With this partnership, fans will now enjoy an integrated mobile and digital ticketing experience powered by Paciolan. In addition to traditional methods of purchasing tickets, patrons will now have the option to purchase mobile tickets, receive them on their phone via text, and enter the venue with their mobile ticket. Those who are unable to attend games can leverage user-friendly account management capabilities to transfer or exchange unused tickets to friends and family. Paciolan's ticketing solution is integrated into the South Alabama Athletics website, which is powered by SIDEARM Sports.

"When we began this process late in 2019 we were looking for a true ticketing partner — a company whose primary focus is in collegiate athletics ticketing," said Greg Keel, Assistant Athletic Director for External Relations. "Through this process we were excited to learn and now execute how we can elevate the experience for our fans with the help of Paciolan mobile ticketing features. This implementation was unique in that it primarily occurred in a remote environment due to COVID-19 and we would like to sincerely thank our Paciolan team for helping us get where we are today."

South Alabama will also take advantage of the Paciolan and ParkHub integration to provide fans a greater parking experience on gameday. This integration enables purchasing of parking and scanning at specific lots to make it easy for fans to buy both tickets and parking online.

In addition to the mobile capabilities in ticketing and parking, South Alabama will now also have the ability to present their season ticket holders and donors an up-to-date view of their priority point total and ranking via their online account.

South Alabama will also leverage Paciolan's integrated email marketing solution, PACMail, which allows the athletics department to communicate with fans based on their previous purchases and interests. This powerful marketing tool helps to promote ticket offers, provide game time updates, and communicate with Jaguars fans with ease.
