ATLANTA – March 22, 2011 –The Rutgers University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has announced a partnership with Atlanta based The Aspire Group to outsource its athletic ticket sales and service responsibilities.

“We believe that this opportunity to work with The Aspire Group will take our Athletics Ticket Sales to the next level of customer service for our fans,” stated Tim Pernetti, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics for Rutgers University.   “The Aspire Group’s model enables us to service more fans, with a much broader reach, and in a much deeper manner than we have been able to do in the past.  As we continue to build our fan base and create more lifetime members of our Scarlet Nation, this partnership significantly enhances our ability to grow essential ticket revenues and increase attendance.”

The Aspire Fan Relationship Management Center (FRMC) will sell and service ticket buyers for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and additional Olympic sports to be added in the near future.

The Aspire Group is looking forward to beginning the partnership with Rutgers University with the Center planned to open on campus by May 1st,” states Aspire’s General Manager of Fan Relationship Management, Bill Fagan.  “Our mission is to provide the highest level of customer service to the Rutgers community and help build fans for life for the Scarlet Knights.”
