JAC and 7 17 Credit Union Announce Affinity Credit Card Partnership
and Five-Year Covelli Centre Club Seat Sponsorship
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — JAC and 7 17 Credit Union are proud to announce a landmark partnership strengthening one of the Mahoning Valley’s premier entertainment destinations. The launch of the JAC Live Affinity Credit Card and a new Club Seat Sponsorship Agreement at the Covelli Centre will support this mission while expanding fan benefits.
The partnership brings together two organizations with deep roots in the Mahoning Valley and a shared commitment to investing in the community. Through exclusive ticket access and enhanced venue branding, the collaboration will provide new opportunities for fans while supporting live entertainment across the region.
The new JAC Live Affinity Credit Card gives cardholders a 7.17% APR on purchases and balance transfers for the first 90 days, and they 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.
7 17 Credit Union and JAC Live are 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. The partnership reflects the shared vision of JAC and 7 17 Credit Union to create first-class experiences while continuing to invest in the region they proudly call home.
“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 & CEO of JAC Management Group. “Having 7 17 Credit Union as the sponsor of the Club Seats at the 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. It is atestament to what can be accomplished when Valley organizations come together to invest in our community and create opportunities that are truly Valley Strong.”
“This partnership represents our strong commitment to the Mahoning Valley. We believe supporting entertainment and the arts is an investment in the strength of Northeast Ohio and beyond,” said John Demmler, President & CEO of 7 17 Credit Union. “Live entertainment brings people together and strengthens surrounding businesses, supporting the Ohio economy. We are proud to help ensure the Valley continues to thrive as a destination for entertainment and connection.”
The JAC Live Affinity Credit Card and 7 17’s sponsorship represent a long-term investment in live entertainment, local partnerships, and the communities that continue to make the Mahoning Valley a destination for world-class events.
JAC Live affinity card holders will unlock a special presale code with their card number.
