Text-Your-Seat Sweapstakes

Fans at a game see and hear a branded scoreboard message instructing them to enter a branded sweepstakes by texting their seat number to a designated short code and keyword.

The FanChatter Stadium feature randomly draws a seat number or calculates the first, 10th, and 100th seat number submitted, or any other custom selection criteria inspired by the team, sponsor, and/or sweepstakes format to determine the winner.

Each fan that sends their seat number receives an instant branded text message reply on their phone. This message can contain custom sponsor branding including useful product information, coupons, announcements, web addresses, and/or instructions explaining how to opt-in via text message for future mobile updates and offers from the sponsor.

The fan in the winning seat is visited by a team or sponsor representative and presented with their prize. This prize presentation can be shown and announced live in a branded scoreboard video feature.

Common Short Codes

CSCs are short numeric codes (5- or 6-digits) to which text messages can be sent from a mobile phone. FanChatter can help a team lease a custom vanity CSC to tap the considerable potential of the mobile market with targeted campaigns and applications. Leasing keywords on a shared CSC is also supported.

General Requirements

  1. A large video screen display and/or LED signage
  2. A computer with a high-speed internet connection
  3. A way of transferring files and/or information from that computer to the computer controlling the big screen display (if they are different).
  4. A person assigned to monitor the submissions and select photos for display. FanChatter will train team personnel for this role or provide FanChatter personnel at an additional expense.
  5. For all SMS features, a Common Short Code is highly recommended but not required.
