Ticket Text
Tickets are now available for a variety of events both in Ireland and
the UK and can be purchased on the Ticket Text website, www.ticket-text.com.
Using Ticket Text’s innovative mobile
technology, customers will receive their tickets as unique barcodes sent
via text message straight to their mobile phone. Customers simply take
their phone to the relevant venue and then scan the barcode to gain
admittance. Receiving tickets by SMS through Ticket Text saves money
because Ticket Text does not charge customers any over-inflated postage
and packaging fees and booking fees are kept to a minimum.
Ticket Text’s CEO Mark Mc Laughlin commented:
"Ireland was the first place we identified a demand for an
alternative ticketing provider; it gives us great pleasure to be
able to finally address this need in our own country.
He continued: "At last Irish customers will find tickets more
easily accessible due to our mobile ticketing system which
eliminates the need for postage and packaging fees. It is a more
efficient distribution method for the customer while offering the
venue a new method for distributing tickets."
He continued: "Before Ticket Text, Irish customers were subject
to unreasonable postage and packaging fees due to the main ticket
providers' dominance of the market. Mobile ticketing can finally
help give customers with what they have always wanted, the best
tickets without all the extra costs."

bar code to the venue and present it at the gate to the scanner, where
they will get quick and easy entry to the event avoiding queues at box
offices.
