The premium packages will include access to NBA events and off-court programming, such as player and legend meet-and-greets, behind-the-scenes tours, concerts, chef’s tables, golf outings, fashion shows, and hospitality hubs.
The expanded tie-up builds on a relationship dating back to 2010, since when QuintEvents has been offering “premium fan experiences” to select NBA events.
Among the company’s other partners are the Formula 1 motor racing series, LIV Golf Investments, MotoGP motorcycling promoter Dorna Sports, Tennis Australia, and the ticket sales and distribution company Ticketmaster.
