Entrepreneur Sees Phones As Future Tickets

Mobile phones are many things to different people, but a Milwaukee technologist and entrepreneur hopes to turn yours into a ticket to a party, club or concert through Twicketer.com, reports The Wall Street Journal.

The Web site, currently in beta testing but available to the public, is a mobile ticketing service that lets anyone schedule events and then sell tickets – afterward providing an electronic ticket displayed on a mobile phone as proof of purchase.

It’s a paperless system that is fast, simple and safe, according to A-Sun Truth, Twicketer’s founder, who expects the convenience of tickets on smart phones will appeal to people regularly out and about.

“Five years ago, Americans weren’t ready for this,” Truth said. “But a lot has changed since then. That was before the iPhone, before Android phones and before the level of BlackBerry phones that we have today.”

Twicketer lets event planners, musicians, artists and others build events online and then send out invitation links over social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.

“Peer recommendations are important, and using Twicketer your event can spread virally,” Truth said.
