How You Can Exchange Your Old Mobile Phones with Ticketmaster
August 23rd, 2009 | Mobile News

If going to concerts, gigs or the theatre is your thing, then get searching through your drawers and looking in those cupboards, because Ticketmaster has recently launched a new scheme which enables you to trade in your old phones in exchange for discounts off tickets.
In the past few years, recycling and becoming environmentally friendly has become widely practiced by many around the globe. It has become almost fashionable to be green in today’s world.
You must have heard about how you can exchange your old mobile phones for cash - however, something that may be new to you is the new opportunity that Ticketmaster are offering their customers. This deal doesn’t only apply to mobile phones, as Ticketmaster have stated that they would accept used iPods too, in a move that is unlike other mobile-phone recycling companies.
With these old, used and no longer needed pieces of machinery simply laying around, gathering dust and taking up much-needed room around the house, it can be an exciting opportunity to be able to get something out of the gadgets that you have dormant.
Not only will your phone be recycled and therefore reused, but £1 of the money made from the sale, will be donated to charity. So not only do you get rid of unwanted possessions, but you do your good deed for the day, too.
To see how much money you are losing out on with that useless Nokia in your plate cupboard, you need to go to the Ticketmaster Mobile site. Here you can find out how much your old handset or out dated iPod is worth. You will also need to request a freepost envelope to send your gadgets off in. After this, you should receive your payment on a Ticketmaster Gift Card. Simple!
In comparison to other mobile phone recycling websites and companies, Ticketmaster Mobile’s give you a little less cash than others. For example, if you were to trade in a Samsung Omnia for a Gift Card, then you would receive credit in the region of £87 towards a concert of any description.
Even though this seems like a decent price coming off your total price on tickets, this figure is actually a little less than you would be offered if you were to trade with at least four other well known companies.
Although you may want to immediately begin trading with this scheme, it can be advised that you carry out the traditional ‘shop around for the best deal’ search. Ensuring that you check out the websites of a few companies can ensure that you get a mobile phone exchange that is ideal to your needs.
Overall, this is an excellent idea that the staff over at Ticketmaster Mobile have created. Not only do you get to see your favourite form of entertainment live, but you get rid of your old junk too. Who knows: trading in a few different gadgets that you do not need any more could get you access to quite a few of your favourite gigs!
