The Fan-to-Fan Ticket Exchange

PRESS RELEASE


WHEN TWO BECOME ONE


June 06, 2008

As music lovers gear up for festival season, Seatwave, Europe’s favourite fan-to-fan ticket exchange, is giving fans one more reason to make new friends as they revel in the party atmosphere.

Seatwave is challenging festival goers to find their lyrical other half by giving away hundreds of t-shirts to those who purchase tickets to the Isle of Wight, T in the Park or V Festival on its website. Each t-shirt has half a famous lyric from a headline act, including Muse, The Verve and Kaiser Chiefs, and only makes sense when paired with its other half. It’s up to fans to find someone with a matching t-shirt.

For fans lucky enough to complete their lyric, they’ve not only made a new friend, but they also stand a chance of winning £500 worth of vouchers to spend on tickets for any concert, theatre or sporting event listed on Seatwave.

Fans simply have to take a photo showing the matched up lyrics and send it to with a name, email address and contact number to be in with a chance of winning.

James Burgess, Chief Marketing Officer, Seatwave said, ‘Festival fans now have another reason to buy tickets from Seatwave this summer. Not only will they have peace of mind having bought their ticket safely and securely, but they can also have fun searching for their other half and trying to win £500 of tickets!’

More clever music lovers than ever are visiting Seatwave to buy must-have tickets from other fans rather than risking the uncertainty of doing business with touts outside the festival fence or falling victim to online frauds. Seatwave’s leading consumer protection guarantees that fans know that each and every ticket exchanged is genuine and fully refundable in the event of cancellation.

The lyrical t-shirts include Kaiser Chiefs: ‘everyday I love you less and less’; Muse: ‘my plug in baby crucifies my enemies’; and The Verve: ‘you’re a slave to the money then you die’.
