CLEVELAND, Dec. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Veritix^®, the leading innovator in digital ticketing, event marketing and relationship management applications, today announced that it has entered into an exclusive, multi-year agreement with Eastern Michigan University, located in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

The Eagles are set to launch the Veritix platform in June of 2014.   

"We believe the Veritix ticketing platform will provide our students and fans with the ultimate ticketing buying experience. An innovative fundraising management platform will equip us with the necessary tools to track donations, priority points and payments for a big part of our fan base - our alumni," said Mark Monahan, Director of The Convocation Center and Eastern Michigan University.
