Basketball is finally back and Klarna, the global all-in-one shopping service, is bringing Bulls fans the ultimate tools to enhance their gameday experience through the Bulls Mobile App as a continuation of Klarna’s partnership with the Bulls. For the first time ever, fans at the United Center will have the ability to purchase select items of Bulls gear from the Madhouse Team Store through the Bulls Mobile App and have it delivered directly to their seat during the game. As a presenting partner of the Bulls’ “Item of the Game,” Klarna will also offer in-seat delivery for a curated selection of team merchandise.
“As the team’s Official Shopping Partner, we’re excited to work with the Bulls to bring “Smoooth Delivery” to fans in the United Center through the Bulls Mobile App, making shopping easier than ever before so that they don’t have to miss a second of the action,” said Megan Gokey, Head of B2C Marketing, North America, Klarna. “Our two brands each share a commitment to innovation and exploring new ways to interact with fans, so we are excited to bring this new in-arena offering to life while also giving fans at home the tools they need to enhance their viewing experience with a shoppable collection from our ambassador, Zach LaVine.”
Fans can begin using the in-seat delivery feature of the Bulls App, which will offer Klarna’s popular Pay-in-4 method, at the team’s first regular season home game on Saturday, October 22 vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers. Those who purchase the “Item of the Game” using Klarna for a “Smoooth Delivery” will also receive an additional item inside their Klarna gift bag.

“Arriving at the stadium on game day is a chance for us players to express ourselves through fashion and style and show off our favorite fits. I’ve noticed the same can be said for fans too – they love coming to the game decked out in the best Bulls gear and showcasing their fandom in creative ways while cheering us on,” said All-Star and Klarna Ambassador Zach LaVine. “That is why I am passionate about helping our fans get game day ready and I’m excited to share some of my favorite team merch and other essentials through my custom collection on the Klarna app. This way, no matter where our fans are, they can have access to everything they need to support the team they love this season and look good doing it.”
