Do They Have Backpacks At Ross?

mevoNegocios: We are beginning to popularize mTicketing systems (Tickets Phones)

The overcrowding and the ever increasing processing power of mobile devices has accelerated the convergence, and the way these processes have become electronic and / or virtual.

Some processes are easier to convert to electronic than others, and one such process "easy" is the sale, distribution and validation of cheap airline tickets.

The way is simple: instead of printing and delivering physical tickets (printed on plain paper), use your phone as a recipient of a ticket in electronic form. This ticket has a special code that is displayed at the entrance of the event, is scanned and ready, authorization is given to enter.

By not having to physically print the tickets, there is a huge savings, and if you add the savings in logistics concerning the distribution of tickets (sent electronically) plus the added security (virtually forgery-proof and can not be resold) is may lead to a reduction of up to 80% in costs. Likewise, the distribution snapshot allows the buyer to make a last minute decision (decided to buy only after passing through the site and see that there is full because I do not like crowded places) and the seller means that you can easily sell quotas of people not arrive in time.

The digital nature of the process to add interactivity as the mTicket become a coupon that can be changed inside the enclosure for a free drink, or receive a quiz or game that allows the buyer to win special prizes upon entering.

Using mobile applications.
There is a software that is downloaded to your phone and this software takes care of step by step, to request the required information (event, number of tickets, payment, etc) and finally get the mTicket directly in the program.

Juniper Research published a study that says by 2014 will use approximately 15 billion mTickets, which however is a conservative figure since by the time this service will not have spread so much in America or Europe, but While Asia and China in particular. Additionally, the companies of transport (mainly airlines) that are working hard on this for cost savings, and is expected to begin moving to the area of \u200b\u200bentertainment (movies, concerts, sporting events, etc). The arrival of NFC (Near Field Communications - Short-Field Communications, a new technology for short-range transmission) also give added impetus to this solution. ------------
