CTS EVENTIM, one of the leading international providers of ticketing services and live entertainment, and Borussia Mönchengladbach have signed an extensive ticketing partnership agreement.

Borussia Mönchengladbach is one of the best-managed clubs in Germany and a pioneer in terms of innovation and digitalisation. So we are all the more pleased that Borussia has placed its trust in the expertise we have gained over many years on the sports market. We look forward full of anticipation to working with one of the most successful and long-standing clubs in Germany.'
