Quote:DENVER – The Western Athletic Conference is proud to announce TicketSmarter as the presenting sponsor of WAC Basketball Tournament. The multiyear partnership begins for the 2020 event held March 11-14 at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.

"We are thrilled to be the Official Ticket Resale Partner of the Western Athletic Conference, as well as the title sponsor of their conference basketball tournament," said Jeff Goodman, TicketSmarter CEO. "The high-level programs that make up this conference are truly exciting, and we look forward to this partnership for many years to come. As a part of our collegiate strategy, we remain committed to developing meaningful relationships with conferences and teams across the nation."

The 2020 WAC Basketball Tournament presented by TicketSmarter marks the 10th anniversary of the tournament being held at Orleans Arena. The Overland, Kan.-based resale ticket marketplace will also sponsor the WAC Athletes of the Week and receive additional marketing assets on WAC platforms.

"The WAC is thrilled with the opportunity and is very proud to align its premier athletics event with TicketSmarter," said WAC Commissioner Jeff Hurd. "It is a win-win partnership in every aspect and will certainly benefit the conference's broad fan base in a wide variety of aspects."

The 2020 WAC Basketball Tournament presented by TicketsSmarter will consist of 14 games. Tickets for the tournament can be purchased as either an all-session ticket or as a single-session ticket. All-session tickets are on sale now through WAC institutions and will go on sale Monday, February 3 through Orleans Arena.

In a Google search, the first page has a link to people who have had issues with getting refunds. Some have bought tickets thinking its TicketMaster only to find out it is TicketSmarter.

This is a response they gave to someone who was extremely unsatisfied with their services:

Looks like they came into existence last March.

I didn't use TickPick when the WAC was associated with them, I have no plans to utilize TicketSmarter. Buy through your university's ticket offices or TicketMaster.

It's good that the WAC has a sponsor for the basketball tournament. They are not Verizon level in name brand recognition, but as long as the WAC gets some money out of it.

My issue is that this seems pretty sketchy. Aggie fans should remember this bit for the fake sponsor for UNM but for others here is the reference: https://www.si.com/college/2019/10/25/es...wl-sponsor

They may be a legitimate company but I am a bit wary.
