Facial Authentication For Stadium Entry Coming

Can we use this to keep out known Criminoles?

 

How does this work with re-purposed tickets? And who is taking the pictures?

Maybe this is just a way of keeping the Great Unwashed away from the stadium.

 

It is voluntary. Fan takes a selfie and submits it associated with their purchased ticket. Then the fan walks in using their face as the ticket (authentication). I'm guessing you might also have a ticket on your phone as backup in case the recognition fails. If you sell the ticket to another they would have to use that electronic ticket (or if system is elaborate enough, go online and transfer the facial recognition authentication to the new ticket holder).

I remember keeping game ticket stubs....

 

Wish they had gone with CLEAR instead. Most major US airports use CLEAR and more and more arenas and stadiums are adding it.

 

I wish you could get an old school paper ticket, like once you're in the stadium take you electronic ticket to a kiosk and have it printed out for a souvenir. I use to collect all the stubs and had them displayed under glass on a coffee table. It was cool seeing the ticket art and logos change from year to year. I haven't seen the old printed scorecards after the game in years either.

 

I'd give them a year, maybe two before they consolidate. Remember the money is in the data.

 

I have our ticket stubs from the 2006 Tennessee game and the SECCG and you're right - they are great mementos of the occasions!

 

I have a million stubs. I did recently stumble across a site that will reproduce your digital ticket into and authentic paper ticket to keep.

Stubforge.com - Design Custom Ticket Stubs

 

Any word on if this thing can count teeth. (To keep the Vols fans out?)

 

What if a woman inputs facial recognition at 32 years old then at 42 she looks totally different (see some women you know). Would they then go to a secondary recognition method like what ?

I have saved ticket stubs to great games going back to the 1960s, have them in a big glass bowl. Too bad those days are over.

Which then takes me to my passport (gosh I'm wandering around on this thread). When I went into Italy for the first time I handed over my grandfather's 1913 passport. That got quite a reaction.

 

They still want you to keep the ticket in your digital wallet so that everyone will know and be able to prove where their seats are located once they get inside.

I remember keeping big-game ticket stubs, as well. I also remember getting into the stadium with a Lincoln Pass (a $5 bill greasing the student ticket-taker's hand.)

 

It means you have to wait in a regular line to get in. No quick entrance for you... Lol.

 

im a packers season ticket holder. While they went to mobile tickets only for game entry, they now send out the old paper tickets as souvenirs each season. They can’t be used to enter the stadium but they can be kept as mementos. This was done due to people wanting the stubs like you mention.

 

When I watched the NFL I was a Bears fan for thirty or so years but credit where credit is due, that’s a great idea.

 

I have a zillion cool concert ticket stubs in a box, meaning to display them somehow someday. But that ship has sailed, too.

 

Uf offers them for a price

 

Easy to sign up for, but not sure how it works with multiple tickets.

Worth a shot if you can avoid the awful lines for the big games.

 

The article said facial recognition not asshole recognition.
