NHL Carolina Hurricanes Mobility Marketing
Season Ticket Holders

Season ticket holders pay a premium to see their favorite players and team throughout the year, and deserve the best experience that we can provide. With the implementation of our new wireless network throughout the arena, we can use this to improve the fan experience for our season ticket holders. This experience starts before they reach the door by connecting with via social media and sending them the new NHL media package that includes their team hockey RFID bracelet that will be their connection to the arena. Ticket holders not only have all access to meet and greet sessions, premium services/discount, but also can add funds to their Hurricanes account via their NFC enabled smartphone devices. They can check into their sections by swiping their RFID bracelets at key NFC enabled areas at their seats. Also by placing their cellphones in their NFC sticker phone docks they can keep track of stats throughout the game and get a live stream of the bench and helmet cams worn by specific players and referees throughout the game.

Another great aspect of this technology is to award season ticket holders with in game prizes for birthdays and celebration that are recognized via their account with us. The Carolina Hurricanes organization takes pride in our fan base and wants to reward our loyal customers who support us every game. So far there are three tiers to our season ticket packages.





1.     Tropical Depression Member
2.     Tropical Storm Member
3.     Category 5 Hurricane Member

At each level there are premium services and incentives that will encourage fan engagement and participation. All season ticket holders will receive the RFID bracelet to access their package incentive, and also have the chance to win and upgrade to the next level depending on homes games attended. Another extension of our increased use of this wireless system would be to create an application that they can also log into before they step inside the arena and we can interact with the fans directly to enhance fan experience through our social media outlets. Within our plan we never want to forget our local and worldwide military fan base as well so we can also extend a special package to current military members, veterans and their families as well. I believe that this is only the start to a complete end-to-end fan experience that will create a loyalty like no other.
