Movie tickets now on the mobile

Posted on | December 6, 2005 |

Gurgaon-based ConvergeLabs has launched m-ticketing designed for Deep Multiplex in Gujarat. The ticket will be sent as a bar-code on the mobile, which will allow entry on a quick swipe through a scanner installed in the multiplex.

The user has to get a M-PIN, a unique pin number that will authorise mobile payments, by registering once on the web. After obtaining the M-PIN, users can book tickets on phone and receive advance booking details of movies.

Amol Patel, president of ConvergeLabs, said, “Convergelabs is proud to be the first to launch its patent pending m-ticketing technology for movie theatres, after having successfully launched it for cricket matches in the country”.

Mobile barcode services look very promising in their potential. Most of the handsets today support receiving a barcode picture message. And to get the ball rolling, all it takes is signing up mass consumer touchpoints like cinema halls, exhibitions, sports events etc. which also do the job of promoting the service.

Recently, another Delhi based company, ValueFirst had announced their mobile barcode services.
