As part of the signed agreement, REVEL^XP will utilize Fobi’s Wallet pass technology to provide fans with a digital ticket for the company’s premium hospitality events deploying with select NCAA Div. 1 Football Power 5 schools. Fobi’s platform will enable fans to easily navigate to their tailgate, access a field pass, participate in an exclusive meet-and-greet or unlock merchandise discounts. An embedded messaging function will also enable the REVEL^XP staff to communicate with fans for schedule or location changes, as well as in the event of inclement weather.

“We are constantly seeking advanced solutions to make our premium hospitality experiences even more seamless for our fans,” said Ray DeWeese, CEO, REVEL^XP. “Fobi’s platform makes it easier for fans who purchase a tailgate or other experience to share event details with their guests and minimizes any logistical questions that often arise on a busy game day. We are excited to immediately make the technology available to fans this season.”

According to a recent report from Statista, the Sports Event market is projected to reach $6.5 B USD in 2021, with just under half of that, $2.9B USD generated in the U.S.  This market is forecast to grow to $32B USD in 2025, and with venues continuing to welcome back fans, the largest increase will happen in 2022 with an astonishing growth rate of 331%.
