Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>THATO Rammoko and Mohale Molieleng, two National University of Lesotho (NUL) trained computer enthusiasts, are introducing eventspoynt, your electronic ticket to your favourite events.<\/p>\n

It is fully paperless! You buy your ticket online, you pay online with either M-Pesa or Ecocash or even your bank account and, listen to this one, you only bring your phone to the event! No paper. Nothing! Just your phone!
\ncom or inbox Eventspoynt<\/a>. So you are one of those in the Born After Technology (BAT) generation who is baffled by the prevalence of paper-based tickets in the 21st century?<\/p>\n

Or, are you, perhaps, one of those hardworking fellows who like organizing events but get frustrated when potential clients blame distance or even obscurity, of your ticket selling outlet?<\/p>\n

Or maybe you are just a good old environmental enthusiast bewildered by the ever-declining forest resources that help keep our atmospheric greenhouse gases balanced\u2014and you want to see paperless technology reinforced, bit by bit?<\/p>\n

Take heart. Thato Rammoko and Mohale Molieleng have a solution. \u201cI am a computer trained hip-hop artist,\u201d Rammoko said in an interview. \u201cIt turns out those double passions, computer and hip-hop, combine in him to create the product we are introducing today,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

How? Everybody somehow knows a thing or two about Lesotho\u2019s rising hip-hop music. But have you heard a thing or two about the music from an insider? Okay, listen to Rammoko relate.<\/p>\n

\u201cOutside my technology life, I am a hip-hop artist,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people call our fast-moving music industry sotho-hop.<\/p>\n

\u201d In a nutshell, it is a version of hip-hop delivered in a combination of Sesotho and English or in Sesotho only.<\/p>\n

It drives young people crazy! But behind the vibe, pop and fanfare, there are glaring cracks. \u201cIt is an industry that is moving fast, but with no financial rewards in the end,\u201d said Rammoko.<\/p>\n

\u2018In this industry, it is not uncommon for you to be famous, have your music played on radios, TV and all over, while you are broke.<\/p>\n

\u2018It is a survival industry!\u201d He added in a tone layered with determination to transform the status-quo. Here are the problems.<\/p>\n

Lack of proper copyright law means \u201cyou can sell just one CD for M100, and the next thing you hear your music played across the country, while you remain with that measly M100 you started with, in your pocket\u201d.<\/p>\n

Your CD has been copied! So they have a strategy, they no longer make money through selling CDs. They give them for free and then organize live events.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut this alternative is no picnic either,\u201d Rammoko added, holding his breath. Fraud, fraud, fraud, is a problem here.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you are on a stage delivering music to your fans, you can see the hundreds and hundreds in the adoring crowd, only to receive income that clearly doesn\u2019t correspond to the numbers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt leaves you wondering, what happened there\u2014we mean, like\u2014 at the gate?\u201d Oop! Eventspoynt jumps in at this point.<\/p>\n

It is a brilliant solution, not only for hip-hop events but for all kinds of events. Doing it is as simple as ABC. You go online\u2014register. Then you choose your event, and the kind of ticket you want to buy, e.<\/p>\n

g. VIP, Goldern Circle or normal ticket. Then you pay the given price with your M-Pesa, Ecocash or through your bank account. During the paying process, a unique number, called order number, is generated.<\/p>\n

This you use as a reference when you pay in any of those options. Once they receive your payment, Eventspoynt folks confirm both by your email and by your order number and your e-ticket is sent to your email.<\/p>\n

You can either print it (but please don\u2019t, save the trees), or you can leave it on your phone. When time comes for the event, you show up with your phone on hand [or your printed paper if you are the Born Before Technology (BBT)].<\/p>\n

And here is Rammoko again: \u201cIn your e-ticket, there is a code called QR code. \u201d That is Quick Response two dimensional bar code, it determines if or not you will enter the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe scan the code, in your electronic PDF ticket on your phone or on you printed paper.<\/p>\n

For scanning we use any phone that has a camera, as long as an app is installed there, to recognise the QR code. \u201d This time around, no money is exchanging hands.<\/p>\n

Thus fraud is kept at bay. It is stress-free for both the buyers and sellers of the tickets. All you need to attend you favourite show is to have a phone and money in your M-Pesa account.<\/p>\n

That is it! It doesn\u2019t get easier than that! The beauty of this system is that it is versatile \u2013 all kinds of event organisers can use it as a tool. And you can buy a ticket, while in any corner of the Mountain Kingdom, or beyond. Eish! Those are NUL trained computer gurus for you!<\/p>\n
