NEW ORLEANS – The New Orleans Pelicans in partnership with ReplyBuy announced a brand new way to purchase tickets this season with their launch of Mobile Fast Pass. Pelicans fans can now instantly purchase great tickets with the speed and simplicity of responding to a text message.
Fans who participate in the program will receive personalized notifications when seats become available, thus enabling them to purchase tickets on-demand in a matter of seconds with no links to click or extra steps required. This solution delivers the kind of instant gratification that today’s fans desire. Additionally, the faster fans respond to buy, the better their seat locations will be. Upon purchase, electronic tickets will be delivered to a fan’s phone instantly and then can be scanned at the event.
The Pelicans partnership with ReplyBuy will enable fans to receive notice when tickets become available last minute from allotments previously reserved for the visiting team even when games had been previously announced as sold out.
“We are pleased to partner with ReplyBuy,” said New Orleans Pelicans Sr. VP Sales Michael Stanfield. “Enhancing our game event experience is a top-line priority and goal for us and ReplyBuy delivers a unique service in a platform that is convenient for today’s fan, one that we expect will provide our fans with a simpler means for buying tickets that become available to Pelicans games at the last minute.”
Fans can now register for the service HERE or text 'PELICANS' to 20123.
The partnership with ReplyBuy is just one of the many ways that the New Orleans Pelicans are working to make the Pelicans games even more enjoyable and convenient for fans.
