Short post this time, because this is only half the story! The other half will be up after June 8th. The suspense just might kill you.
So, part 1 was a big success for Brown Paper Tickets. My husband and I will be attending an event on June 8th and I decided to try out BPTs mobile option for printing tickets. So far so good! I got a text from BPT within seconds with a link to their website. A+ for having a mobile optimized site! A simple login (well, that is always a bit of a pain, but until we have universal thumbprint logins, no way around it), and there are my tickets!
Tapping each ticket opens up a screen with basic event info (title, date and time, price), ticket holder’s name, and the ticket’s barcode. I have bookmarked the page for fast access when we get to the event.
We’ll see how it goes.
I’ve seen the BPT options couple times but haven’t had a chance to try it. Will be wondering about what’s your experience in the part 2 😀
Nice. Did you receive or have you received any SMS from them regarding the status of your purchase or your event?

Not so far. It’s not till the 8th of June though, so I wouldn’t really expect anything yet.
I just signed up for a BPT SMS message also (for the Screen Summit). I like the ease of access.
My one disappointment was with the mobile app. I downloaded that also, thinking that I could use it for ticket access/download also. But, it turns out that the app was made for the event hosts, not the attendees. I guess they can use the app for scanning arrivals. Couldn’t really test it out though (also I was bummed because I thought I could do a post on the app..haha…)
