Sydney Film Festival Launches iPhone App
April 29, 2010 17:23
In a first for Australian moviegoers, Sydney Film Festival patrons will be able to purchase and receive tickets on their iPhone.
No more waiting in queues or relying on computers or printers for your tickets – at the Festival in June you simply present your iPhone at the cinema door to scan a ticket barcode and go into a session. Films such as 'Banksy’s Exit Through the Gift Shop', John C. Reilly’s new comedy 'Cyrus' or the new documentary showcasing Joan Rivers in her 75th year 'Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work', will only be a flick of your finger away.
Named SFF2010, the new application – which is set to change the way audiences purchase tickets for festivals, events and cinemas – was developed by Australian software development company eFirst. It will be available free to download from the Apple AppStore and iTunes on Wednesday, May 5.
Says Jenny Neighbour, Sydney Film Festival Program Manager “Our priority is to ensure our audiences have easy access to the program and purchasing tickets and our own iPhone app ensures we are moving with rapidly developing technology to ensure that happens.”
Receiving purchased tickets in the form of a barcode should take less than a minute after installation of the app and data. It will make ticket purchases easier and make attending the Festival more flexible and spontaneous for all film-lovers.
The 57th Sydney Film Festival runs from Wednesday, June 2 to Monday, June 14, 2010.
