ATLANTA, GA – Old Dominion University (ODU) and Playfly Aspire have entered a revenue enhancement partnership focused on the Monarchs’ ticketed sports and sponsorship assets. Playfly Aspire has established a team of sales and service professionals on ODU’s Norfolk, VA campus who will work alongside ODU athletics to optimize ticket sales, fan experiences, and commercial partnerships.

The Monarchs have a long and successful history with Playfly Sports, Playfly Aspire’s parent company, first partnering in 2008 to create non-traditional marketing and revenue-driving opportunities through their multimedia rights. That MMR partnership was recently extended through the 2033 academic year. Old Dominion is the sixth active Playfly Aspire partner in the commonwealth of Virginia.

Dr. Camden Wood Selig, ODU Athletic Director, voiced his enthusiasm about the partnership.

Tony Garrett, Senior Vice President of Fan Relationship Management & DEI at Playfly Aspire, also conveyed optimism about this new partnership.
