70% Informative
Fanatics and Ticketmaster are in business together, they announced Wednesday in a story in Sportico .
The companies will now support each other, with Fanatics directing ticket buyers to Ticketmaster and the two sides coming to undisclosed financial terms.
It’s the kind of partnership that warrants a skeptical posture.
Fanatics is the most important licensing partner of every major North American sports league.
The company makes roughly half of what it sells, with the rest coming from its role as a retailer of other brands’ products.
Anyone who wants to make a licensed sports product might feel pressure to sell that product via Fanatics .
