Looks Gr8!

Festivals, events, gigs. You buy your tickets online and still they arrive by post. To your old address. A day after you need them.

In the current clime of unrelenting forest fires and postal strikes, if Lupa can manage to text us when our pizza is en route, Addison Lee send our cab's ETA, and even parents can tap out an update on their gardening progress ("Looks gr8!"), isn't it about time the paperless office set its sights a little wider?

Enter the new service from Ticket-Text. No more paper tickets to lose, contribute to the destruction of the planet and incur bonus processing costs. Instead, you order online, select when you want them delivered and then they just turn up as a text message. On time.

And should you happen to delete them or, horror of horrors, lose your beloved phone, simply log-in to Ticket-Text and have the barcode reissued. No penalty fees or testy phone operators to deal with.

The website also features a social networking function, with chat and interactive events calendars. Kind of like the bastard love-child of Facebook and Last FM. But don't let this put you off.
