Mobile Ticketing
Barcoding Inc. has launched a customized mobile ticket scanning application for Baltimore-based MissionTix.com, an online ticketing service for buying and selling tickets for concerts, performances, fairs and other local events. The application allows venues to use handheld devices to scan and process a barcode from both printed tickets and tickets displayed on a mobile device, such as a smartphone. Now, ticket holders no longer need to print a ticket if they have a mobile device with Internet access. A concertgoer could buy a ticket en route to a performance, and present the e-ticket displayed on their phone for admission. In addition, with Barcoding’s customized application, handheld scanners are able to recognize the ticket’s electronic barcode from a screen while simultaneously tracking admitted tickets in real-time by communicating with other handhelds in the venue’s system.
