Philadelphia Union have signed a deal with online ticket trading platform Stubhub, reports, www.sportspromedia.com/.

Stubhub will become the official secondary ticketing provider of the club, a position it already holds with fellow MLS sides the Columbus Crew and the LA Galaxy.

Stubhub will also receive an allocation of stadium signage and will have the right to offer fans in-game upgrade promotions when the deal kicks in for the 2016 MLS season.

"The Philadelphia Union is delighted to partner with such a globally recognised brand in the ticketing industry," Philadelphia Union vice president of corporate partners and premium seating Drew Young said.

"We're specifically excited for the opportunity StubHub will present to our Season ticket members, who benefit from utilising a much easier process of transferring and re-selling tickets when required to do so."
