A lot of us are already familiar with the Orange Wednesdays 2-4-1 film offer, where you receive a text with a unique code allowing you to get one film ticket free. Australia's bCODE go one step further, transferring all types of ticketing into a code in a normal text message.

^{^{bCODE provides the world’s most compatible solution for mobile ticketing. Unlike 2D barcode and RFID-based mobile ticketing technologies that require a phone specific chipset or graphics, the bCODE solution is based on standard SMS text messaging and is supported by 99% of all mobile phones in the market including, PDAs, RIM Blackberry, Palm Treo and other devices like the Apple iPOD. bCODE’s Mobile Ticketing solution enables customers to have a paperless ticket delivered directly to their mobile device, providing instant delivery and removing the hassles of physical pick-up and queuing. To enter an event, the bCODE Mobile Ticket, which is a series of characters that looks like “=MXPLS=MP97C=" is electronically read from the screen of the mobile device and checked for authenticity, providing complete security. bCODE is showcasing the paperless and secure entry provided by the bCODETM Mobile Ticketing solution at the event with Telstra.
Mobile Tickets can be acquired in the same way that a paper ticket can be purchased. However, in addition to the convenience of wireless delivery, mobile tickets offer users the additional benefit of removing the vulnerability of paper tickets, specifically loss. Beyond ticketing, the bCODETM solution can be used by diverse number of industries replacing the dependency on paper tickets including airlines for issuing tickets and secure check-in; retail for loyalty cards and delivery and redemption of vouchers; hospitality for room bookings, secure room key access, and delivery and redemption of targeted offers. The possibilities are endless. www.bcode.com}}
