SeatChoice Launches New Mobile App for Theatre and Gig Ticket Buyers

Leading theatre and gig ticket comparison website SeatChoice.com has created a mobile phone app for the Android platform to help theatre and music fans get ticket information on the go.

The 'app', which is free to download from the Android Market, is linked to the massive UK Theatre Web database and helps users search for performances and concerts across the UK. The UK Theatre Web database contains details on approximately 20,000 events.

The 'app' provides information on the event dates, the cast and the venue and will also give details of STAR (Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers) outlets with theatre tickets available or contact details of the venue box office and a link to the website. Users can also leave reviews and ratings which will be seen by other app users.

To find the 'app', search for UKTW on the Android Market. Android platform smartphones include Samsung, Nexus, Sony Ericsson and HTC.

Robert Iles, founder of SeatChoice.com and UK Theatre Web commented

"We've created this free 'app' to help theatre and gig fans find information about shows, concerts and other events wherever they may be. The 'app' is built in such a way that it will even provide basic information when there's no internet connection so users should be able to find out what they need even with just a mobile signal. More and more people are using their mobile phones to find information and this new service will help theatre and music fans find out what they need simply and quickly."

The SeatChoice.com website helps users to compare and purchase tickets to shows and concerts across the UK.

UKTW is behind the 'What’s-On' content for several established theatre websites including http://www.arts-archive.co.uk where users can find information for theatre productions dating back to 1997. Eventually this information will also be accessible directly from the new ‘app’. UK Theatre Web’s database is seen by around 500,000 users every month.
