- KptMarchewa 4y agoYou don't need any facial recognition for that, just get their ID to check if they are not banned while selling them tickets.
- xeromal 4y agoSeems pretty weird to require IDs for a simple ticket to a show.
- KptMarchewa 4y agoWe're talking about football games, not a show in this subthread.
- xeromal 4y agoThey're all the same to me. Entertainment.
- KptMarchewa 4y agoNot really, risk profile is totally different between football game and opera.
- brezelgoring 4y agoAnecdotal but having visited a few countries that have national IDs, they use them with just about anything worth having. Tickets, SIM cards, Service Agreements, you name it. I live in Uruguay and you need to use your ID very often when doing commercial stuff.
- bmelton 4y agoTickets are transferable. Not-banned persons can give them to banned persons.
- _visgean 4y agothey are banning them because they have already caused trouble in similar situation. This is very different, she is being banned even though there is no indication that she would be security threat.
