The Washington Nationals have become the first major organization in the United States to deliver event tickets to mobile phones. Nationals fans who purchase tickets on the nationals.com Website can choose to have their tickets delivered to a mobile phone, via a MMS or picture message. The "digital ticket" is then scanned from the phone at a designated gate allowing fans to quickly enter the ballpark. The technology is provided by Tickets.com following a successful test of the system during the 2007 Spring Training season.
The Nationals and Tickets.com have scheduled a Ticket Technology Fair during the April 27th and 28th homestand against the New York Mets. The Fair will showcase Tickets@Phone and other current ticketing technology available to both season and single ticket holders.Hands-on demonstrations will include My Nationals Tickets, an online management tool designed for season ticket holders to easily manage and track their use of tickets throughout the season on nationals.com. Through this tool, season holders can transfer their tickets to friends and colleagues by email, eliminating the need to mail tickets or arrange to meet at the gate to share tickets. Also on demonstration, season and single ticket holders can learn how to use Replay Ticket Exchange, an online tool that enables season holders to resell their unused tickets in a sanctioned environment, and also provides single ticket buyers a method for purchasing quality, hard to get tickets from a reliable source. Tickets@Home, a feature that allows ticket holders to print their own tickets, and Nationals Ticket Kiosks will also be demonstrated.
