With snow having hit Southend over the weekend, don't come out in the cold to purchase your tickets, let us deliver them to you.

Fans wanting to buy tickets for Saturday's game against Northampton Town can do so with ease thanks to our tickets-by-text system.

As a Football Club we want to be at the forefront of technology and our tickets-by-text service takes all the hassle away from you, our supporters.

To make this work however, we need the support of our loyal fans to make use of the service.

As well as making it simple to get your ticket, every fan using the system will also receive £2 off the normal price of their matchday ticket against the Cobblers.

You can sit anywhere in the ground at Roots Hall; with tickets-by-text available for throughout the whole stadium.

Tickets-by-text allows you to receive your matchday ticket as bar-coded text message to your mobile phone rather than the traditional paper ticket.

Then on Saturday you simply hold your phone against the reader on the turnstiles to gain entry.

No more queuing on a matchday, or waiting for the post to hit the doormat and wondering if your ticket has been lost.

Remove the hassle of buying a ticket and simply call, order and receive.

Apart from the great savings, £2 off the standard matchday ticket price, one user of the service will also get their hands on an iPod.

To book your seat at the game and save £2 on the price of a normal matchday ticket call the Blues Box Office on 08444 77 00 77.
