Mobiqa, the world leaders in mobile ticketing solutions and PayPal Mobile have provided the world’s first, complete end-to-end mobile payment and mobi-ticket™ delivery service to Scotland Rugby League fans who were left stranded without tickets due to the recent postal strikes which affected the whole of Britain.

Mobiqa and PayPal’s complete end-to-end service has many advantages over traditional means of buying and receiving tickets. Using your own PayPal account to pay for tickets to the match overcomes security concerns around entering credit card details into the phone and overcomes the usability and security issues associated with previous mobile ticket payment attempts. This ground-breaking service is the ultimate in convenience for fans and completely solves any postal problems which sending traditional paper tickets may face.

For the first time ever, customers were able to pay for their rugby tickets via PayPal Mobile’s WAP site on their phone and receive their barcoded tickets immediately after purchase.

Wall Street Journal Highlights Mobile Bar Codes And Physical World Connection

The Wall Street Journal has a story called All The World's A Page (free for 7 days) that discusses how mobile barcodes and camera phones are making everything "clickable".


The article highlights three of the companies on the Physical World Connection company list, Semapedia, Mobiqa, and ZapCode.

"What you'd be looking at is a Semapedia tag, a printout containing something called a QR bar code. Software on your camera phone will read the bar code just as one of those scanners in a supermarket would, but instead of a price it would decode a link to a Web page on the peer-produced online encyclopedia Wikipedia".

American Alexis Rondeau, 28, one of the duo who dreamed up the nonprofit Semapedia project in 2005, puts it "kind of like turning the world into a clickable Web page."

"Keith Russell, Hong Kong-based business development manager for Scottish mobile ticketing company Mobiqa , says his company has seen the bar code take off in the U.S. as a device to deliver event tickets to cellphones. Singapore Press Holdings has launched a service in the city-state called ZapCode that allows people to access information via a colorful bar code"

This is the second major story highlighting Physical World Connection
