Bloom Festival (August 10-12, Dyrham Park Gloucestershire, near Bristol), a premiere festival will offer fans a way to minimise its impact on the environment by delivering tickets to fans via tixmob, the mobile ticketing service, eliminating the environmental and financial cost of printing and delivering traditional paper based tickets. In addition the service allows fans the convenience of immediate ticket delivery allowing them to buy tickets after checking the weather report on the day of the festival.

The weekend music festival is one of the first in the UK to use mobile ticketing. To buy tickets fans simply log on to new mobile ticketing website www.tixmob.com and pay for their tickets using a credit or debit card.

In addition mobile ticketing reduces the environmental impact of the festival. We like to be an innovative festival providing value to our fans”
