So imagine the scenario: you're walking around Los Angeles or New York at 3am, drunk off your butt, when all of a sudden you're struck with the urge to buy a ticket to the upcoming Slick Rick show at the Knitting Factory. Your computer is back home, the venue won't be open for another eight hours, and for all you know, there could be only one ticket remaining. What to do?
Knitting Factory Entertainment feels the pain of the music fan with immediate needs - in conjunction with ShopText Mobile, the company is offering tickets by text to shows at its NY and LA venues. Flyers and posters for Knitting Factory shows will now be printed with unique codes for each show. If you want to go, all you have to do is text that particular code to 467467, enter your credit card number, receive a PIN number for future purchases, and bam, you're hanging out with Slick Rick. It's all secure. It works with any mobile device. Iz nice.
