People attending concerts at Murrayfield Stadium this summer will have the
opportunity to benefit from the very latest in mobile phone ticketing technology.

Gone are the days that concert goers need a delicate piece of paper to gain entry
to a gig, now they can simply scan their mobile phone to see world class acts at
Scotland's world class stadium.

Murrayfield Sports and Leisure Ltd (MSL), the company with exclusive rights to
host live events at Murrayfield Stadium, has teamed up with Mobiqa, the world
leaders in mobile phone ticketing, to offer customers this easier option.

'mobi-tickets' are unique bar-coded messages sent to a mobile phone and are
redeemed at the venue by simply scanning the mobile's display with a standard
scanner.

MSL's Managing Director, Dean Lewis, said: "We want to make it as easy and
convenient as possible for people to come and enjoy some of the world's biggest
acts at Murrayfield Stadium this summer and youngsters in particular won't go
anywhere without their mobiles nowadays so this is the perfect route for us to
take.

"mobi-tickets are also a cheaper option as the delivery charge is just £2.” » read more »
