Ticketmaster's Paperless Ticket has proven an effective method to limit ticket resale and better provide fans with access to tickets at the original face price set by the artist, team and/or promoter.
"The success of our paperless technology establishes another viable ticket delivery option for our clients and fans," said Dave Butler, president, Ticketmaster North America. "We feel that paperless ticketing will become far more commonplace in the near future, and now our promoter, team and artist clients know without any doubt that paperless is a great, fan-friendly option for them should they choose to embrace this technology."Buying a paperless ticket is as simple as any regular ticket purchase, while helping guarantee that there's no waiting in line at will call and no tickets changing hands. When utilizing paperless tickets, fans do not receive a physical concert ticket for their entry into the event. On the day of the event, fans just need to bring the credit card they used for the ticket purchase and their government-issued photo ID to the concert. All members of the ticket purchaser's party must be present at the same time to enter the venue. The venue's ticket usher will swipe their credit card upon entry and present each person in their party with seat locator slips for quick access into the show.
