Also don't go to concerts that do this.

It’s not like this is listed on the ticket. You don’t know how the venue is going to enforce until you’re there for the first time.

It really should be disclosed when purchasing.

No no they turn around once they get to the front of the line and see what theyre doing

Then post a warning on Waze as part of their civic duty, alongside a last minute ticket sale

You're not going to do that if you're with a group of friends who aren't as riled about it as you are, it's a band you really like, and it's a big event that you paid a lot of money for.

Everyone sticks together and leaves and immediately confirms the first friend’s warning on Waze, so people know its legitimate

Everybody does this that must be partially why it is so easy to get real scalper tickets at the venue, because so many people cant agree to the terms and conditions if entry

Especially facial recognition using Amazon Web Services, since it might be uploaded to China

Or when in China people are worried it might be uploaded to America

But dont worry about the relative morality, the point is people have to take a stand! And thats how they do it!

You completely sidestepped my point about your friends not being as riled up about it as you.

Its the rule, everyone goes in or nobody goes in

and having a unified front on Waze if one friend posts the warning on it, everyone has to post confirmations on the warning and leave

Its friend code to leave, but they just have to not invite you next time if they secretly disagreed

It's pretty obvious that @gammateam is being sarcastic here (in this post and the follow up responses to yours). You may want to quit responding.

That’s... actually a reasonable way to combat ticket scalping.

Oh, absolutely. Great way to ensure sure the door staff are actually checking the ID against the ticket sales records 100% of the time.

The problem is, night clubs ain't developing this stuff in-house. And whoever develops this stuff and sells it to nightclubs will discover they can make more money if they sell the machines to nightclubs _and_ the data to the adtech industry.

They already have the data from the ticket sale.

Its also a ridiculous invasion of privacy.

The "reasonable" claim is made here without considering all factors. If I have the guarantee that the driver license & facial recognition data are not uploaded or kept beyond the required time frame (which should be less than a couple of hours) and are not integrated into other datasets, then this solution may be "reasonable". But that's a big assumption. Is there information on where the collected data goes and what happens with it?

> reasonable

That's debatable.

Where was this? I would have refused entry and demanded a refund.
