MOBI-TICKETS RESCUE RUGBY FANS DURING POSTAL STRIKES
Mobile tickets have come to the rescue of rugby league fans who have failed to receive their tickets in time due to the recent postal strikes. Fans have been left stranded without tickets for the Scotland vs. Wales World Cup Qualifier on the 4th of November due to the postal strikes which have affected the whole of the UK in recent weeks.
Mobiqa, the world leaders in mobile ticketing solutions, are providing the mobi-ticket™ delivery service to the Scottish Rugby League for their fans so they can attend the game. Adults are prompted to purchase their tickets for the game by texting ‘TICKET’ to 60030 and under 16s can get hold of their free tickets to the match by texting ‘SRL’ plus the make of their mobile phone (e.g. SRL NOKIA) to 60030. A mobi-ticket is then delivered straight to their mobile phone. mobi-tickets are simple text messages which contain a standard barcode and accompanying information about the match. Match-goers present their mobi-ticket at Old Anniesland ground where the barcode is scanned to allow for entry.
This ground-breaking service is the ultimate in convenience for fans and completely solves any postal problems which sending traditional paper tickets may face. mobi-tickets are purchased and received on the mobile phone meaning an end to queuing at the stadium for tickets or waiting for the tickets to arrive in the post.
Angus McNab, Sponsorship Director of Scottish Rugby League says, “The current Postal strikes have caused nightmares for rugby league fans waiting for tickets for the Super League Grand Final and those attending our international in Glasgow on November 4th. mobi-tickets are a fantastic solution to this problem. I am sure they will add to the match day experience as we are offering fans something unique. In addition to this, it is great for Scotland Rugby League to be supported in this way by a Scottish Company who are leading the way in their chosen field. ”
Iain McCready, CEO of Mobiqa comments, “Postal strikes and delays are exactly the type of situations mobi-tickets were designed to solve. Delivery of tickets to mobile phones bypasses postal inefficiency and enables hundreds of rugby fans to enjoy a game they may not have otherwise been able to attend. We hope the fans enjoy using mobi-tickets as it adds convenience and an exciting element to their match-going experience.”
