Mobile Proves Just The Ticket For Bloodstock
19 June, 2007 London: Metal fans planning to go to Bloodstock Open Air,
the UK's premiere metal music festival, will be amongst the first
festival goers in the UK to be able to receive tickets for the event on
their mobile phones.
To buy mobile tickets for the three day event music fans simply log on
to new mobile ticketing website www.tixmob.com and pay for their tickets
using a credit or debit card. Tickets are delivered direct to your
mobile phone at the time and date you specify. Bloodstock is the first
metal event to use mobile ticketing and with only 7,000 tickets going on
sale Bloodstock organisors hope the new mobile tickets will enable true
music fans to buy tickets by avoiding the professional touting that has
blighted other music festivals.
Festival goers can choose to receive all tickets on one phone or, for
those buying multiple tickets, to have them delivered direct to their
friends' mobiles. Unlike traditional ticketing services tixmob charges
no admin, processing or delivery fee so the price you see is the price
you pay and tickets will be available right up until the final minutes
before the event starts.
Name, title, Bloodstock, "We are encouraging metal fans to use the
tixmob website to buy tickets. Its secure, reliable, and avoids the
traditional costs of using a third party ticketing so we can plough more
money into making Bloodstock an even greater event."
Ramesh Kumar, business development director, tixmob added "Having fun
shouldn't be hard work so we set up tixmob to provide easy, reliable and
affordable access to gigs and events. We redeem more tickets than any
other company in the world so this is an obvious next step for us,"
"By using secure, proven technology we can keep costs low so anybody
from an aspiring promoter or band right up to a sell out stadium tour
can afford to use the tixmob technology."
Tixmob's parent company ActiveMedia Technology powers the Orange
Wednesday two-for-one cinema tickets offer and provided mobile ticketing
and couponing for Virgin Mobile, British Airways and Ministry of Sound.
Bloodstock Open Air runs from August 16th-18th, Catton Hall Derby. More
