The global ticketing giant will offer Mobiqa's mobile phone based 'mobi-tickets®' at major venues and events throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
Using Mobiqa's technology, Tickets.com will offer tickets as unique barcodes to mobile handsets, providing a secure ticketing solution that will greatly streamline the entry and exit process to and from concerts, exhibitions and events.
Reducing customer waiting times at events...
Commenting on the deal, Ian English, Asia Pacific Managing Director of Tickets.com said: "Mobi-tickets make perfect business sense for our customers.
"They offer a great alternative to paper tickets," he continued, "which give venues much greater flexibility - particularly for last minute ticketing - and the ability to improve their customer service. Our initial implementations have given us very positive feedback.”
The mobi-ticket uses SMS or MMS technology to deliver unique bar-code tickets to the mobile phone of the purchaser. Upon arrival at the venue, be it for sports, exhibitions, concerts or conferences, the barcode is quickly and efficiently scanned, saving a hunt for lost tickets and eliminating touting and forged tickets.
Commenting on the deal, Mobiqa CEO Iain McCready said: "We are delighted to be working with Tickets.com to provide the benefits of mobi-tickets to their clients. Feedback from around the world shows huge benefits for the venues and great feedback from the ticket purchasers.”
