BIRMINGHAM, England, October 4, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- sQuid, the eMoney payments provider, together with smartcard ticketing company MoFlow, has launched an online ticketing scheme for Midlands events company Vodbull UK.
Vodbull Ranger Cards are contactless smartcards that are sold preloaded with electronic tickets to some of the largest student events in Birmingham. Venues include Luminar Leisure's Superclub Oceana, Gatecrasher Birmingham and Walkabout bars. Once a card is registered, students are able to purchase tickets for future events online. To gain entry to an event students simply present their smartcard to a contactless reader, which will indicate to door staff the number of tickets purchased.
sQuid has been creating cashless payment solutions in educational campuses for some time, however this is the first ticketing scheme that they have introduced. Dominic Pope, from sQuidcard, said This is a great opportunity for sQuid to expand our cashless payments solution, and we are very excited to be working with MoFlow and Vodbull UK on this innovative new scheme.
There are plans to expand this scheme in the future to allow students to budget their whole night out, including paying for taxis, food and drink using their sQuid enabled Vodbull Ranger Card.
Mathew Johnson, from MoFlow, said, Vodbull UK are the first of our clients to make use of the sQuid eTicketing solution and we look forward to working with them in the future.
Andrew Grierson, Events Operations Manager at Vodbull, said, We are very pleased to be working with sQuid and MoFlow on such an innovative and promising scheme. We are certain this will be very popular with the students because of the reduced queuing times and ease of use. It will really help students budget for a night out
