IRVINE, Calif. (April 6, 2021) — Paciolan, the leading provider of ticketing, fundraising, and marketing solutions for college athletics, has announced a new relationship with Duke University. Duke fans will gain industry-leading mobile and digital ticketing features along with integrated fundraising and advanced marketing solutions to transform the customer experience.

Through the partnership, Paciolan will unlock innovative services and tools to provide enhanced benefits to season-ticket holders, fans, and donors. This includes a wide variety of tools to purchase and manage tickets, donations, and priority points through a single, integrated, mobile-centric platform.
 

"Partnering with an industry leader in Paciolan enables Duke Athletics to provide elite ticketing services to our alumni, fans, and student-athletes," said Duke Vice President and Director of Athletics Kevin White.
