App Your Service

Food & drinks delivered right to your seat? Yup, there's an app for that

Normally we’re not huge fans of smartphone apps, because it’s usually a lot of work for very little reward. But anything that lets us get our drink on without having to move more than a pinkie is a winner in our book. Yes, the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix is now offering a “Never Miss A Moment” Arena App for your iPhone and Droid smartphones. In other words, you can now order and pay for food and booze, and have them delivered right to your seat, without missing a single note or comedic punchline. Test it out for yourself as we’re giving away FREE tix to see iconic American songstress, Loretta Lynn.

Dubbed the “Celebrity Theatre Personal Bartender,” this free (yes free) app was created by Phoenix-based Mobile Bytes, and is available at the iTunes App Store and the Android Market. Even cooler, Celebrity (which is a killer place to catch a show thanks to the not-a-bad-seat-in-the-house rotating center stage) is offering 20 percent off your first order to anyone who downoads and uses the Personal Bartender service. And ever coolerer, they are offering up a pair of free tix to one lucky Scoop reader to see the Country-Western royalty known as Loretta Lynn on May 1. After all, if you’re going to spend the night crying into your beer, you might as well have a personal bartender delivering a fresh one from time to time.

So wanna win? Simply click here, write “Loretta” on our comments board, and we’ll randomly pick a winner. Good luck, and tip back a cold one for us.
