ReplyBuy, a three year old tech firm, has created a new mobile ticket purchasing experience that’s faster and easier to use than ever.
ReplyBuy is starting to make a big impact on the fragmented mobile tech space. “There’s three things people want: simplicity, speed and access,” according to Tony Saia, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of ReplyBuy. This new technology takes advantage of one of the only apps preloaded onto any cell phone. Text messaging is one of the world’s leading forms of communication. In fact, well over 6 billion SMS messages are sent daily in the United States according to Forrester Research.
Currently available to fans of 27 college and professional teams, ReplyBuy makes it easy to purchase great tickets almost instantly with your phone. Working with Ticketmaster and several other ticket providers, the average transaction happens in under seven-seconds. Some fans may have used this system without recognizing the name. “We view ourselves as an extension of the sales and marketing arms of the clients we work with,” said Mark Harmsen, Director of Marketing for ReplyBuy.
Just what is the process like to use ReplyBuy? I decided to demo the software myself to find out.

ReplyBuy makes it incredibly fast and easy to purchase tickets to see your favorite teams play. “We’re Uberizing the ticket space,” said Harmsen. The organization is seeing tremendous growth with sales quadrupling in the fourth quarter of 2014. Expect to see more teams and live events added in the near future.
