Under the agreement, Elevate will serve as the Universityʼs exclusive third-party consultant and sales agent for all athletics revenue-generating ticket inventory. Elevate will leverage its industry-leading ticketing strategy, sponsorship, and fan engagement expertise to support Stanford in advancing its commercial operations.
This partnership reinforces Elevateʼs position as a trusted growth partner for premier collegiate athletic programs nationally.

“Our goal is to unlock new opportunities that drive Stanfordʼs topline revenue and transform the fan and student experience on The Farm.”
Stanford selected Elevate based on the companyʼs proven track record of building trusted relationships and delivering results for universities and professional sports organizations. Known for its collaborative approach, Elevate will work closely with the Stanford Athletics leadership team to maximize opportunities across ticketing, partnerships, property sales, and insights.
