YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – The newly launched JAC Live Affinity credit card and a new club seat sponsorship agreement will strengthen one of the Mahoning Valley’s premier entertainment destinations.

The new card and agreement are part of a partnership between JAC and 7 17 Credit Union.

The collaboration provides new opportunities for fans while supporting live entertainment across the region.

To celebrate the partnership, anyone who signs up for the JAC Live Visa Affinity credit card will receive an exclusive presale code to purchase Brantley Gilbert concert tickets beginning at 10 a.m. Thursday, July 16. General public ticket sales will begin at 10 a.m. Friday, July 17. The concert is scheduled for Oct. 15 at Covelli Centre.

The new credit card gives cardholders a 7.17% APR on purchases and balance transfers for the first 90 days. Cardholders will keep that APR until their balance is paid off.

JAC Live cardholders will receive exclusive presale access to most events at the Covelli Centre, Packard Music Hall, DeYor Performing Arts Center, the Canfield Fair, Y-Live and additional JAC Live venues and promotions throughout the region. Cardholders will unlock a special presale code with their card number.

7 17 Credit Union and JAC Live are also announcing a five-year Covelli Centre Club Seat sponsorship, which offers guests premium seating, enhanced amenities and an elevated entertainment experience for concerts, sporting events and family shows throughout the year. 

“At JAC, we’re always looking for ways to elevate the fan experience and provide greater access to the shows and events people love,” said Eric Ryan, president and CEO of JAC Management Group. “Having 7 17 Credit Union as the sponsor of the club seats at Covelli Centre – widely regarded as the best seats in the house – strengthens that commitment. Combined with the exclusive benefits of the new 7 17 Affinity card, this partnership delivers added value that extends well beyond event day.”

John Demmler, president and CEO of 7 17 Credit Union, said the partnership represents his company’s commitment to the Mahoning Valley. 

“We believe supporting entertainment and the arts is an investment in the strength of northeast Ohio and beyond,” he said. “Live entertainment brings people together and strengthens surrounding businesses, supporting the Ohio economy.”

JAC is a leading live entertainment promoter and venue management company serving the Mahoning Valley and beyond.

7 17 Credit Union is a member-owned, nonprofit institution that has served northeastern Ohio since 1957.
