Mobile ticketing in France

The Toulouse Football Club is now selling tickets over mobile phone.
How does it work?

1. 1. You purchase the ticket online through the Internet.
2. 2. You receive the electronic ticket via MMS. The ticket is displayed as a mobile tag on your phone's screen.
3. 3. At the entrance of the stadium, the guy checks the mobile tag on your handset''s screen with a scanner.

I heard that there are some issues with scanning the screen of the handset. But my brother used the service for the match Toulouse-Nantes and it worked perfectly on his Sony Ericsson W800i.

This is a great innovation. I am looking forward seeing similar applications based on contactless technology. Then it will be even more convenient.

D'ailleurs, sur le site du TFC, on peut lire : "La e-tribune c'est désormais 1500 places mises en vente pour chaque match jusqu'à 30% moins cher qu'au prix guichet"
Plutôt convaicant pour un début, non ?
