Furman Athletics Signs Multiyear Extension to Expand Services with Taymar Sales U
Greenville, South Carolina (April 2, 2025) – Furman athletics and Taymar Sales U have signed a multiyear extension for the firm to continue overseeing ticket sales while adding ticket operations expertise.
“Furman Athletics is proud to extend our partnership with Taymar Sales U as part of our ongoing commitment to improving the Paladin fan experience,” said Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Jason Donnelly. “Taymar’s team has made an immediate impact on our ticketing operations, and their role will be critical as we seat Timmons Arena and service our donors, season ticket holders, and growing fan base in the months ahead.”
Furman represents the 10th client school to expand its services with Taymar and becomes the firm’s 13th client in the ticket operations space. Taymar added an additional team member, Jack Doran, in the fall during basketball season to advise and maximize revenue as Timmons Arena, the school’s on-campus, multipurpose facility, undergoes a $40 million renovation.
“We are thrilled to be expanding our presence and extending our relationship in Greenville during such a critical time for Furman Athletics,” said Taymar President Joe Rickert. “The Timmons Arena renovation is a gamechanger for the city of Greenville and we are thrilled to continue our work with Jason Donnelly and his team to play a small role in its success.”
Doran was hired as the general manager of ticket sales and operations to work alongside Houghton Flanagan, Taymar’s director of ticket sales and service at Furman, to drive revenue for newly renovated Timmons Arena, which will generate additional enthusiasm for Paladin fans in the upstate.
“We work hard to earn the trust of our clients and there is no greater affirmation than being given additional responsibility by our athletics departments,” said Taymar Founder/CEO Mark Dyer. “We appreciate being part of Jason’s team at Furman.”
