FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Ticket Alternative Launches iPhone App for The EARL

ATLANTA Ticket Alternative is very excited to announce the launch of their first iPhone app. The free app is for Atlanta venue The EARL, and lets customers view upcoming events, buy tickets (via Ticket Alternative's mobile ticketing website), see a constantly-updated list of just announced events, check out venue information (including directions via the Google maps app), and share events via email, Twitter and Facebook.

"The EARL is extremely excited to debut Ticket Alternative's new venue app," says EARL talent buyer Patrick Hill. "Not only will app users be able to see new events as they are added, but they'll be able purchase tickets directly from their iPhone as well. Luddites be damned, The EARL is strolling into the technological age!"

"As smart phone use increases, and you more and more on your phone, it becomes the single most important device you own. The obvious progression from just listening to music is browsing upcoming concerts and buying tickets to them," says Iain Bluett, Ticket Alternative's President and co-founder. "With The EARL's free custom mobile App for iPhone plugged in users can listen to a band or watch a artist's video and then buy a ticket via their phone from anywhere.

"Because Ticket Alternative customer's can create and save account information online including credit card details, the ticket purchase process is so easy it takes only a few clicks."

To celebrate the release of the app, The EARL and Ticket Alternative have teamed up with Pabst Blue Ribbon to bring a month of free beer to the venue. Each night, the first 12 customers who show the app on their phone to the bartender in The EARL's back room (the music room) receive a free 12 oz PBR. This promotion will be lasting the duration of the month of April.

This is just the first in a line of venue apps that Ticket Alternative will be providing exclusively for their clients. In the coming weeks, the company will announce the launch of apps for The Black Cat and The Rock and Roll Hotel in Washington, D.C. along with The Loft in Atlanta, Ga.
