This year, Orlando City went paperless. Next year, it will “tap and go.”
The club announced an extended multi-year partnership with Ticketmaster earlier this week, which includes rolling out new ticket technology for 2018 that chief revenue officer Chris Gallagher called a “game changer.”
“As the fans are entering the stadium they will simply just tap on what Ticketmaster is calling it an enclosure, think of it like a kiosk, and there’s a screen on this device and they just tap their phone and they’re in,” Gallagher said. “So, there’s no handheld scanner that has to worry about if there’s weather issue if the suns shining on it, they just tap their phone and go.
