Commenting, Liam Holton, CEO of Future Ticketing, said: “Future Ticketing has partnered very successfully with 23 professional Football Clubs in Scotland and Ireland over the last three years and an expansion into The English League is the next natural step for us.
Our football successes in Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland gave us a great platform to expand further in the UK and so we are delighted that Fleetwood Town and Rochdale have become early adopters of our market leading software. Our guiding philosophy is to enable our clients to have control, accountability and transparency of their customer relationships and revenue streams. We work with Football Clubs in their digital development of modernizing their ticketing system through Data, Analytics, Our open Rest API, Insights and Integrations.
