Ticket Text parades new deal with Ryanair
Rating: flying in a storm

Ryanair has just joined forces with Dublin based mobile tech provider Ticket Text to provide their customers with a blizzard of low-cost tickets to see spotty boybands, underage girl-groups, exhibitions featuring used underpants and stages full of thespians.
The low cost airline announces today that customers will now be able to receive willy wonka style goodies in the form of a barcode sent to their handset, which can then be redeemed to get into sports events, theatres and gigs. The tickets will be promoted on the highly trafficked Ryanair homepage, booking pages and in customer’s confirmation emails. If they are THAT cheap then maybe it’s worth booking a Ryanair flight (approx cost 1p) in order to get cheap tickets to see Boyzone (hmm maybe not Boyzone). Free hoovers as well anyone?
