1 What is a mobi-ticket?

Rather than having your paper ticket delivered in the post or queuing to collect it at the box office, you can have the ticket delivered to your mobile phone as a picture message. Genius. The mobi-ticket contains a unique barcode and some accompanying text to describe the event. Simply save the mobi-ticket in your SMS messages inbox. Don’t delete it, or you wont be able to get in.

2 How do I get in to the event?

At the venue, look for the signs for the special mobi-ticket fast-track access point. To gain entry you simply retrieve the barcode from your messages inbox and present it to be scanned. The barcode scanner will read the barcode and permit entry via a link to a database containing all barcode tickets issued for this event. At this point, a paper ticket is automatically printed-out. This can be used for “pass-out” purposes.

Once scanned, the barcode cannot be scanned again – this makes it much more secure than any other current ticket system in operation.

The mobi-ticket is delivered as an SMS picture message to the phone and will appear in your inbox like any other SMS message.

7 What if my phone is not compatible?

Any phone that can receive an SMS message can receive a mobi-ticket. However, some handsets do not support SMS picture messaging, in which case you will receive a text-only message with the barcode number in the text. This number will be typed in at the event (rather than scanned) and from that point, the ticket will work in the same way as one with a barcode.

8 What do I do when I receive my mobi-ticket?

This depends on your phone. In many cases, you simply don’t delete it but you may need to store the picture message in your phone using a Save option. At the event, you simply call-up the picture message to have the barcode scanned.
