Timesharing Moves to Sports Events With Launch of Owner's Pass
LOS ALTOS, Calif., May 23

New Bay Area Company Offers Timeshares of Luxury Suites at Giants, A's, Sharks, Warriors, 49ers, Raiders Games; Helps Companies Make the Most of Their Entertainment Budget

LOS ALTOS, Calif., May 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Owner's Pass, L.L.C. launched today, offering timeshared access to luxury suites at sporting events. Now small and medium-sized businesses can entertain like the Fortune 500. Timesharing is a proven business model that has been successful for many luxury assets such as vacation property, corporate jets and yachts. Owner's Pass is the first to extend that business model to stadium luxury suites by acquiring the rights to luxury boxes and offering these events to members in smaller, more flexible packages.

By obtaining luxury suite leases at all the venues in a particular metropolitan area, Owner's Pass is able to offer suite access at a wider variety of events, to a larger potential market, at a much lower cost. For instance, an Owner's Pass member might entertain guests at several Giants & A's games in the summer, Raiders and Niners games in the fall, and Warriors and Sharks games in the winter and spring, all for less than the cost of a single annual luxury suite lease. Plus, Owner's Pass enables members to reschedule their events, so if a Member cannot attend a previously scheduled game, they can swap that event for another game in the future at no additional cost.

"We've found that corporations value the flexibility to reschedule games when a conflict arises," said John Arledge, co-founder and CEO of Owner's Pass. "Owner's Pass makes it possible for companies to invest in a membership providing exactly the number of games that makes sense for them. They gain the added benefit of access to suites at all the professional sports stadiums in the area so they can spread their events throughout the year, not just in a condensed 4-6 month schedule."

"We've always found that stadium luxury suites are an impressive and memorable way to entertain clients and prospects," said Alan Mendelson, Partner at Latham & Watkins LLP. "With Owner's Pass we've been able to choose just the games we're interested in, in the quantity that works for us, and we still get all the benefits of suite ownership."

  Owner's Pass members are entitled to:

  -- Multi-team, multi-game selection -- choose from MLB, NBA, NHL and NFL
     games and teams in the area
  -- Year-round events -- members aren't limited to a concentrated schedule
     for a single team
  -- "Right sized" memberships -- select the number of games that are
     realistic to attend
  -- Flexibility to trade games when not used
  -- No long-term commitments
  -- Lower entry pricing than full year suites
  -- Better locations than "day of game" rentals
  -- Entertaining in a luxury suite is a highly memorable event with a price
     comparable to high-end dinners, golf, or other corporate entertainment
     options
  -- Convenient, luxury accommodations -- an Owner's Pass membership
     includes VIP parking, premium catering and concierge services
  -- Access to playoff games, concerts and other special events that occur
     at Owner's Pass venues throughout the year
