The days of collecting ticket stubs are about to grind to a complete halt. The Detroit Red Wings are set to implement exclusive mobile tickets. The idea of this is excellent, making things simple and convenient. A barcode will generate through an app on your phone which is then scanned at the gate granting you admission. You can’t go far without seeing people glued to their phones; now they will have another reason to pull out their smartphones.
The concern I have is, what about the folks who don’t currently have a smartphone? Believe it or not a lot of people either have no interest in smartphones or can’t afford them.
