We at ID&C were delighted to observe the shrewd move made by Live Nation, Festival republic and the police as announced on the bbc website yesterday (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-13252777). It is a selfless act which gives the punter more security and more importantly time to counteract the way fraudsters operate.
One repercussion maybe that counterfeiters can get their hands on tickets earlier and therefore have more time to attempt reproduction and duplication. It will be interesting to observe what happens this festival season.
At ID&C we are pushing our RFID enabled wristbands as an answer to all these issues. Wristbands can be sent out in the post just like tickets before festivals. Punters can feel secure in that they have receive their wristband and fraudsters are welcome to try and break the encryption on RFID tags – if they have a few decades!!
All the best,
Steve
