It is very possible that in the very near future to be able to access a concert or an event it will no longer be necessary to show your physical ticket or through a code on your smartphone. Your face will be your entry key to these events. With this intention the company has pronounced Ticketmaster Few days ago.
Apple has been in charge of carrying a facial scanner in each of us's pockets. He has done it with his commented Face ID through the latest mobile model that he presented months ago: the iPhone X. However, this technology wants to expand to more areas of our daily lives. And concerts or events in general can be a place where you could save endless lines for tickets.
Ticketmaster announced that it has bet on Invest in Blink Identity Company. This company announced that it is capable of recognizing faces in just one second and that the user must not be looking at the camera for recognition to take place. That is, you would no longer need to pass your ticket through the readers placed at the doors of the buildings.
Likewise, Ticketmaster commented that they intend to continue betting on integrating new technologies. And this is one of the best ways to do it — perhaps require fewer staff and significantly decrease the wait time to enter events.

That is, in addition to having our billing information, now it would be added to be integrated into a foreign server with our image.
Por el momento no implementation date has been given nor could a simulation of the Blink Identity technology be found. What is clear is that Ticketmaster, by investing in them, is clear about the next steps. Let's wait for more details on the movement.
