After my first visit to the really cool Banc of California Stadium (I am now anxiously awaiting the adjacent food hall, The Fields), I knew that buying actual good beer is probably past my pocketbook’s capacity.
But maybe it is not past my fingertip if the latest tech that I read about on The Takeout makes its way into more locations and not just stadiums.
Basically you create a digital profile for a stadium so that contrary to Donald Trump in a grocery store, you won’t have to bring out your wallet at all for ID or payment.
Not to sound alarmist but what if hooligans see that you use the fingerprint scanner and then decide to cart you to a beer line and have your print buy their next round? And how hard is it to bring out two cards to buy a beer? Which leads to my next question. So, I set up an ID at a stadium. Take the time to link a credit card, keep it updated and presumably be able to add the event ticket as well but will that work in only one stadium. I can’t go to StubHub Center or Staples Center or the Rose Bowl?
Might be a good idea when implemented more but right now I don’t know.
