The Steve Ballmer-owned NBA franchise signed a multi-year deal with Vivid to integrate primary and secondary sales. Vivid will work with the team’s ticketing provider AXS and provide incentives for season ticket holders—who the Clippers refer to as MVPs—to sell tickets they don’t plan to use through the marketplace. Some perks for MVPs might include ticket upgrades, unique experiences at Staples Center, and waived service fees.
