Infinite Peripherals Announces Tickets.com Technology Partnership
Today, Infinite (News - Alert) Peripherals has announced a partnership with Tickets.com
to seamlessly integrate NFC contactless ticketing solutions for iPhone
and Apple Watch users at live events, upgrading previous ticketing
technology. After last fall's industry-first and successful test-pilot
at the Oakland Athletics ballpark, the solution saw its full integration
at the Society for Performing Arts in Houston, which has presented more
than 1,000 performances of the world's finest music, dance, and theater
events. Infinite Peripherals and Tickets.com will continue to deliver
this next generation technology integration to additional partners
across Major League Baseball and other venues around the world.
To see the technology in action, visit Infinite Peripherals' at NRF
booth #3652.
As digital ticketing continues to evolve, including mobile tickets
without barcodes utilizing NFC contactless technology, the partnership
lays the groundwork for a secure, flexible future of the ticketing
industry. Infinite Peripherals and Tickets.com aim to empower both
content-owners and their patrons in a new way, enabling a smarter and
safer way to attend live games, shows, concerts and more.
The NFC solution integrates Infinite Peripherals' Infinea Mobile
Point-of-Sale® (mPOS) and Infinea Bluepad product lines with technology
enabling iPhone and Apple (News - Alert) Watch users to gain access to live events
using contactless passes or tickets in Apple Wallet. Users will also be
able to access Auto-Presentation features for single or multiple passes,
where tickets will automatically be identified via NFC on the mPOS
terminal, even when a smart device is locked.
In addition, the new application works to instantly validate the use of
real tickets versus counterfeits. Infinite Peripherals worked closely
with Tickets.com to integrate with their new proprietary Alfred solution
to create a custom program that can automatically confirm the validity
of a ticket or pass using Tickets.com's unique identifier, whether they
are scanned, manually entered, or read via NFC.
"Contactless technology is rapidly transforming the way we process
various forms of transactions and it's only fitting that we start to
bring this seamless experience to live events," said Jose Vidal, V.P.
Global Sales at Infinite Peripherals. "With our innovative technology in
collaboration with Tickets.com, fans, concert goers, and theater lovers
will enjoy a fun, frictionless experience with their iPhone (News - Alert) and Apple
Watc when attending shows."
"Partnering with Infinite Peripherals, Tickets.com was able to develop
and deploy an Enterprise access control solution, leveraging its own
infrastructure as well as Infinite Peripherals hardware and software
teams and expertise," said Derek Argobright, Chief Technology Officer,
Tickets.com. "The end result was a solution that could securely read and
scan digital tickets in a new way, utilizing contactless passes on
iPhone and Apple Watch without the traditional form of barcodes. We are
really proud of the collaboration and believe that ultimately the
solution will create a fun, frictionless experience for every patron."
