CeBIT Australia Uses bCODE For Mobile Ticketing

bCODE™ is the future of Mobile Coupon, Ticketing, Loyalty and Payments


CeBIT Australia 2007, the Australian leg of the world's largest ICT exhibition, rolled out a new mobile ticketing technology for general admission that saw its admission queues for pre-registered patrons completely eliminated at this year's
event.

This ticketing option was offered to all pre-registered patrons of the event. If a user chose the bCODE mobile ticketing option, he or she was sent the mobile ticket immediately prior to the event. Upon arrival, the patron simply scanned his or her phone on one of the 10 bCODE Readers to gain admission and receive their personalized conference tag.

CeBIT chose Australian company bCODE , now based in Los Angeles, as their mobile ticketing technology provider.

Unlike 1D/2D barcode and RFID-based mobile ticketing technologies that require a phone specific chipset or graphics, the bCODE's internationally patented solution is based on standard SMS text messaging and is supported by 99%+ of all mobile phones in the market including, PDAs, RIM Blackberry, Palm Treo and other devices like the Apple iPOD.

bCODE won the Ericsson Best Mobile Application Award in 2006. bCODE has recently relocated to the United States and has offices in Los Angeles and Sydney.

Will Apple Start Selling Concert And Movie Tickets Through iTunes?

What do a barcode and Apple have in common?

The first thing I thought of when I read this story was Apple would start selling tickets (of all kinds) through iTunes.

Did you ever think Apple as a ticket seller? Seems pretty easy now. Guess I have to add them to the list

bCODE(TM), the universal provider of mobile ticketing solutions, today announced that it will showcase Mobile Ticketing technology to a group of customers at the Telstra Technology Showcase during the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games.

bCODE provides the world's most compatible solution for mobile ticketing.

Unlike 2D barcode and RFID-based mobile ticketing technologies that require a phone specific chipset or graphics, the bCODE solution is based on standard SMS text messaging and is supported by 99% of all mobile phones in the market
including, PDAs, RIM Blackberry, Palm Treo and other devices like the Apple
iPOD.

bCODE's Mobile Ticketing solution enables customers to have a paperless ticket delivered directly to their mobile device (not limited to a mobile phone), providing instant delivery and removing the hassles of physical pick-up and queuing.

Think about it. Go to iTunes, download a ticket for Jimmey Buffet concert and get a 2d code, barcode on your iPod. The billing is ALREADY IN PLACE and you just wave your iPod at the door.

Are airline tickets next?

Aaaah the visionary innovations for this are endless.
