MSU partners with ReplyBuy

Fans can purchase tickets to Mississipp­i State sporting events quickly and easily via text message as the Bulldog Athletic Department announced a partnershi­p with ReplyBuy on Friday.

The Bulldogs’ partnershi­p with ReplyBuy gives fans the opportunit­y to receive exclusive last-minute ticket offers, even for games previously announced as sold out.

Fans who register for a secure Bulldog ReplyBuy account by going to www.replybuy.com/hailstate or texting STATE to 20123 will receive a custom notificati­on when tickets become available and have the ability to purchase them quickly via text message. Electronic tickets will be delivered to the buyer’s phone upon purchase.

As an added benefit, fans will receive a $10 credit to apply to their first ReplyBuy purchase during football season.

“As we continue to seek ways to create easy access for our fans to purchase tickets to our events, we felt Bulldog ReplyBuy was the perfect fit,” Mississipp­i State Director of Athletics John Cohen said. “This cutting-edge platform makes it as simple as replying to a text message to purchase tickets to Bulldog football, basketball, and baseball. We look forward to continuing to provide new avenues to fill our venues, while enhancing the fan experience.”

The faster fans respond, the better seat locations will be. However, tickets will be first made available in priority fashion to Bulldog Club members who register for the service.

“Mississipp­i State is a first-class organizati­on and has been recognized as marketing leaders in the industry as they are constantly looking to innovate and deliver solutions that are convenient for today’s fan,” Brandon O’Halloran, ReplyBuy SVP of Partnershi­ps and Strategy, said. “We’re proud to partner with them to help introduce this new capability to their passionate fan base by making it as simple as responding to a text to complete a ticket purchase – without ever having to click a link or download an app.”

Fans’ first opportunit­y to purchase tickets through Bulldog ReplyBuy comes Sept. 2 when Dan Mullen’s MSU football team opens the 2017 season against Charleston Southern in a 3 p.m. kickoff at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field.
