NPSL announces partnership with SoccerStub
In an effort to streamline and standardize the ticket-buying process, the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) has partnered with SoccerStub, a division of Passage, Inc. that provides ticketing and payment services in addition to revenue reporting.
The deal makes SoccerStub the official ticketing provider for the NPSL, a fourth-division league comprised of both professional and amateur teams. Founded in 2003 as the Men’s Premier Soccer League (MPSL), the league switched its name to the NPSL in 2005 and has since grown to 96 clubs.
“We’re excited about this partnership with SoccerStub,” said NPSL Chairman Joe Barone in a league press release. “Several NPSL teams have already seen the benefits of SoccerStub with more to follow. We look forward to this seamless ticketing solution for our teams and the centralized ticketing platform that will be integrated into NPSL.com. This partnership helps our teams provide fans with increased convenience and an excellent match day experience.”
Each club will have the ability to opt-in to use its own customizable SoccerStub portal to manage ticket, concessions and merchandise sales. The service isn’t active within the NPSL yet, but will be “in the coming weeks” per the press release.
“We are thrilled to be working with the NPSL, and delighted to provide the league with this white labeled payments solution,” SoccerStub CEO Alex Linebrink said. “It’s really all about making it simple for teams to set up and track their ticket sales and attendance, and making the fan experience seamless both online and at the door.”
SoccerStub also reiterated its commitment to enhancing the service and making the NPSL more available to a broader U.S. audience.
“Our team is constantly building new features and looking for ways to help our teams sell more tickets and merchandise,” Linebrink added. “We are looking forward to growing together with the NPSL. They’re really leading the charge in expanding the popularity of soccer in the U.S. and making the sport more accessible to fans nationwide.”
