Why now: AI agents for sports clubs
01
Fans ask the AI.
Fans ask their AI assistant about tickets, kick-off times and stadium rules. Without answers of your own, secondary markets and fan forums do the informing.
02
Matchday means peak.
Season ticket phases, jersey releases and matchdays create volume spikes. Agents answer fan questions around the clock and lead straight into the ticket and fan shop.
03
Since 2018 without switching platforms.
LoyJoy has kept pace with every technology leap, from GenAI to agentic AI, speech-to-speech and Headless. No customer has ever had to switch platforms.
Use cases: chatbot and voicebot for sports clubs
Six use cases that pro sports clubs automate end-to-end with LoyJoy.
Fan service and FAQ automation
Stadium rules, directions, membership, fee questions, matchday info: resolve standard enquiries end-to-end and absorb matchday peaks.
Ticketing assistant
Explain ticket phases, communicate availability, guide fans straight to the ticket shop. Season tickets, away tickets, VIP and hospitality packages.
Merchandising and shop linking
Advise fans on jerseys, fan articles and special editions. Shop links and product recommendations lift conversion during releases.
Membership advice and onboarding
Explain member benefits, guide the signup process, answer status questions. Scalable for complex membership models and large fanbases.
Campaigns and fan engagement
Sweepstakes, advent calendars, prediction games, season-start campaigns. Newsletter signups and marketing opt-ins captured GDPR-compliant.
Voicebot for the fan hotline
Speech-to-speech voicebot for the ticket hotline, stadium info and standard questions around matchdays. Low latency, EU hosting.
Built by you, visually or in conversation
Build it yourself, end-to-end, instead of an FAQ page and email inbox
Classic club solutions are static FAQ pages, an email inbox for fan questions and in-house builds with high maintenance overhead. With LoyJoy, your marketing and service team builds AI Agents itself, no-code with drag and drop or in conversation with the AI assistant, updates answers every matchday and extends with over 100 process modules.
FAQ page, email, in-house
Static, manual, maintenance-heavy
- FAQ pages answer standard questions but do not advise in dialogue
- Email inbox collapses during matchday peaks and jersey releases
- In-house builds tie up internal resources and age quickly
- No WhatsApp or voice integration from one platform
LoyJoy AI Agent
Self-built, dialogue-based, multichannel
- Dialogue-based advice with deep links to ticket shop and fan shop
- Website, native app, WhatsApp and voice from one platform
- Marketing and service change content themselves, with drag and drop or in conversation with Claude
- GDPR-compliant marketing opt-in and newsletter directly in chat
Our ambition: the simplest enterprise platform for Agentic Customer Service and Sales. We make you fast: live in 2 to 4 weeks, on your own or supported by our delivery team.
Voicebot speech-to-speech (Phone Agent)
Voicebot for the fan hotline
Ticket questions shortly before kickoff, stadium info on matchday, directions for away games: call volume in pro sports is extremely seasonal and volatile. Our Phone Agents are built on the latest speech-to-speech AI with latency under 500 ms, natural prosody and interruption handling. Classic pipeline voicebots sound mechanical. Fans hear the difference.
- Low latency under 500 ms
- Natural prosody, interruption handling
- EU hosting, GDPR-compliant

Caller
Hi, I wanted to ask whether there are still tickets in the Südkurve for Saturday's home game.
Voicebot
Of course, let me check right away. There are remaining tickets available in the Südkurve. Shall I send you the direct link to the ticket shop by SMS?
