>Chappelle doesn't do digital tickets, but on the way out there was almost a crush in the crowd as people lined up to get their pouches unlocked. We ended up forcing open a fire escape and went home with our phones still in pouches, I ended up unlocking the pouches at home (you just gotta beat it open, or use a magnet)

Since you stole the pouches the system can't work that well given the company lost money from your theft.

hence the solution

> Simple slots that you slide your phone into and get an RFID tag with a locker number back in return

how you would align them for hundreds of thousands of attendees to not forget their numbers, lose their tags, crush against the wall.. no idea
