Ticketrush.co.uk powered by Nokia have launched the first mobile ticketing service in the UK. The service was used for the first time at Guns n'Roses gig at Hammersmith Apollo last week and allows fans to receive a text message with a unique barcode allowing them entry to the venue.

Nokia's Head of Marketing says:
"We are delighted to be working with Mobiqa and Live Nation, as we continue to be at the forefront of developing new technology, as well as maintaining our commitment to bring the best music to all music fans.

This next step for the Ticketrush service allows us to reach out to not only our own, but all handset users to bring them together with the music they love".
