Hot new Dublin mobile startup, Ticket-Text goes live today with it’s consumer service — simultaneously announcing an agreement to offer Ryanair’s 52m customers with low-cost tickets for concerts, sports, theatres, galleries and exhibitions in the UK, Ireland and Europe.
Customers get their tickets via unique barcode sent to their handset. No arsing around with paper tickets and postage. To gain entry, you simply take your handset to the venue, let them scan the 2d barcode and get in.
If you’re a Take That fan, pay attention:
To celebrate today’s launch, the first twenty customers to buy tickets for the Take That concert in Barcelona using Ticket-text’s revolutionary service will receive a FREE Ryanair return flight from London.
That’s a good deal! Get ticket texting!
Santina Doherty, Head of Ancillary Revenue at Ryanair, is a big fan:
Thanks to Ryanair’s low fares, it has never been cheaper or easier to travel to concerts and other live events around Europe. Ticket Text’s innovative and easy to use service provides an ideal match for passengers who want to combine their trip abroad with concerts, festivals and other live events. This is a fast growing part of our business and we look forward to developing it with the help of Ticket Text.
Very cool indeed. I’m going to hunt for a gig to go to and I’m going to buy my tickets via Ticket-Text.com.
