## Why do event teams text ticket buyers with Ticket Fairy instead of EZ Texting or SimpleTexting?

Event teams use EZ Texting and SimpleTexting to text ticket buyers about on-sales, set times and last tickets. Ticket Fairy sells your tickets, so every text goes to buyers you already have, picked by ticket type, add-on or whether they came, with about how many people shown before you send. Event information texts, such as an event-day reminder, go from Ticket Fairy's number at no cost. Marketing texts due in your quiet hours wait until they end, and reminders and thank-yous go out automatically for every event.
