"After a long and thorough search for the best mobile partner for the Florida Panthers and BB&T Center, we're excited to partner with Venuetize to provide a safe, convenient and contactless experience for fans as they attend games at the BB&T Center," said Panthers Chief Operating Officer Sean McCaffrey. "With the addition of the Bypass partnership, we are able to seamlessly integrate the mobile fan experience with the latest innovative point-of-sale technology to make sure fans have a safe and smooth purchasing process while at BB&T Center events and hockey games."
Fans can purchase food and beverages through the mobile app for a convenient ordering experience. Mobile pick up will allow for shorter concession lines and contactless dining for concerts and events.
"We are thrilled to be part of the Florida Panthers next-generation mobile strategy and to partner on delivering safe and convenient services to their fans," said Craig Duncan, Chief Revenue Officer at Venuetize. "Going completely cashless in the BB&T Center is a big first step of many more to come in which we'll be leveraging the mobile channel and engaging at deeper levels with their fan base both in and out of venue."
In addition, Season Ticket Territory Members will be able to access exclusive offers, discounts and partner offers using only their mobile device.
"Through just the use of a mobile device, guests will have a streamlined and comfortable method to access all of BB&T Center's available amenities with their health and safety being top of mind," said Chief Commercial Officer Shawn Thornton. "This also opens up a variety of new opportunities for our corporate and marketing partners to reach our fans in the mobile app. These customized experiences allow for integration and customized offers."
Moving to a cashless operation will also allow the Florida Panthers to operate in a more intelligent way, with access to integrated insights and real-time reporting to facilitate the delivery of better fan experiences.
The mobile application can be accessed by downloading the NHL Application from the App Store or Google Play and selecting the Florida Panthers as favorite team.
