Ticketek says no to cheap friends

Say no to cheap friendsTicketing service Ticketek has launched a social media campaign to promote new social ticket buying tool ‘Invite A Friend’.

The new service enables customers to reserve tickets next to their friends at an event, and send invitations via Facebook for their mates to purchase tickets, removing the hassle of one person having to pay for everyone’s tickets upfront.

The ‘No to cheap friends’ campaign, targeted at customers who buy tickets for friends but rarely get their money back, is being promoted via Facebook and Ticketek’s email database and mobile site.

Ticketek MD Cameron Hoy said in a press release: “This campaign is designed to resonate with our customers who experience the common frustration of the friend that never pays them back. We’ve all received the ‘I’ll fix you up for the tickets later’ texts from friends, but how often do these same friends drop off the radar after the event, along with the cash they owe you?”

“With the launch of Invite A Friend, we are giving our customers a simple solution for organising a group to go to an event, by letting them say yes to splitting the bill and no to funding their cheap friends,” he said.
