IRFA, an organization that arranges martial arts galas, is launching a co-operation with Swedish Payair. The partnership will enable customers to buy tickets to the MMA gala at Solnahallen, Stockholm on March 9th directly through the customer’s mobile phone. Payair’s solution for mobile commerce enables tickets to be purchased in advance on IRFA´s website, as well as physically at the entrance at Solnahallen.
“This is perfect for our target audience, as it consists mainly of young people who currently lives with their smart phones. I am convinced that the majority of those who attend our galas prefer to purchase tickets with their smart phone if it is possible”, says Christer Radecky, CEO at IRFA.
“Neither the organiser, nor the audience will have to deal with cash in the traditional way at the event. In addition, you can buy tickets directly from the gala posters by scanning the QR-code on the poster”, says Christer Radecky.
