If you are heading to a music festival this summer, T-Mobile wants you to know it is not just selling phone service. The carrier is pitching itself as a way to make the whole event easier, from getting tickets and planning the trip to skipping lines and finding a place to recharge once you are inside.

T-Mobile announced today that its members can use T-Mobile Tickets for presale access and special offers, including 25% off concert tickets at more than 120 venues and over 8,000 shows each year. The company also says some festival tickets, including sold-out ones, can come with $50 in on-site credit per ticket for food or merch.

T-Mobile is also tying in its travel perks here. The company says members can save on hotels and rental cars through T-Mobile Travel, which fits nicely with festival trips that turn into full weekend getaways. Once fans arrive, T-Mobile says some venues offer faster entry through Fast Lane or Quick Pass access by using a Magenta Pass in the T-Life app.

Inside the festival grounds, the bigger draw may be Club Magenta. T-Mobile says members at events like Stagecoach, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits can get access to a private lounge area with drinks, a place to cool off, and other extras. The carrier also says members can bring up to two guests, even if those guests are not T-Mobile customers.

There are a few smaller perks that could end up being just as useful. T-Mobile says members can get things like free lawn chair rentals, free lockers at select events, charging stations, and festival-specific experiences such as custom cowboy hats or lasso phone straps at Stagecoach. The company is also pointing to T-Satellite as another way to help customers stay connected beyond normal tower coverage during summer travel.

The big takeaway is pretty simple: T-Mobile is trying to turn festival season into another reason to stay with the carrier. Instead of focusing only on coverage, it is packaging tickets, travel savings, on-site perks, and lounge access as part of the membership experience. 

For customers who actually go to concerts and festivals, that may be one of the more practical lifestyle perks the carrier has pushed in a while.
