Texting For Cheap Theatre Tickets

Auckland's young theatre buffs could soon have easier access to cheap tickets and inside information on the stars of shows, reports xtramsn.

"The Auckland Theatre Company is launching a text messaging service aimed at 18-25 year olds.

Spokeswoman Helen Bartle says the idea is based on a successful UK initiative and will be New Zealand's first text messaging service for the arts.

People will voluntarily sign up for the text messages, but Ms Bartle hopes they will pass the messages onto their friends. She says it will be a real coup if people reject reality TV in favour of going to the theatre."
