SAN JOSE, CA --(Marketwired - September 21, 2016) - ThreatMetrix ®, The Digital Identity Company™, and the San Jose Earthquakes today announced a multi-year partnership that begins immediately and extends through the 2019 soccer season. The partnership builds on ThreatMetrix securing online ticket sales for the Quakes and introduces an array of stadium branding, customer engagement and innovative match tie-ins.
"Having an established San Jose and Bay Area customer community with global reach is something ThreatMetrix shares with the Quakes. We're thrilled that as an Official Quakes Team Partner, we're able to deepen support for our hometown soccer club and continue to expand our community footprint. We're also excited that the Quakes are highlighting how ThreatMetrix delivers secure, frictionless online ticket sales to thousands of loyal Quakes fans," said Armen Najarian, Chief Marketing Officer for ThreatMetrix.
ThreatMetrix works with the Quakes today to ensure that any fan who purchases tickets online enjoys the same level of experience and service digitally as they do in the stadium. By deploying a ticketing platform that leverages global digital identities from ThreatMetrix, the San Jose Earthquakes can accurately differentiate good customers from fraudsters in real time with no added friction.
"We are fans of ThreatMetrix. It really helps secure our fan experience by ensuring our online ticket sales process is both easy and safe," said Dave Kaval, president of the San Jose Earthquakes. "Thanks to ThreatMetrix Digital Identities, we now know our fans' ticketing transactions are secure and the only attacks they should be worried about are out on the soccer field."
One of the more innovative tie-ins of the new Quakes and ThreatMetrix partnership is the " Attackers to Watch " segment that will air at Avaya Stadium at every home match and on SJEarthquakes.com in advance of home matches. Hosted by Quakes goalkeeper legend Joe Cannon and sponsored by ThreatMetrix, this custom video series will feature the opposing team's most daunting threats and corresponding Quakes defense strategies.
