2.6 billion mobile tickets set to be delivered by 2011, according to Juniper Research

Press Release: Mobile Ticketing goes mainstream, with over 2.6 billion mobile tickets set to be delivered by 2011, according to Juniper Research

Hampshire, UK, 5th March 2008: New research has estimated that over 2.6 billion mobile tickets will be delivered to just over 208 million mobile phone users by 2011. This is one of the key statistics from a landmark study by Juniper Research. The report found clear evidence that the sector is gearing up for major launches over the next few years. Early trials, mainly led by mobile network operators, are now migrating into commercial services that are controlled by the ticketing issuers themselves.

Benefits for the ticketing issuers include reduced cost, better security to help the fight against fraud and improved environmental footprint by reducing paper. Early use of mobile barcode technology will be gradually complimented by the emergence of NFC (Near Field Communications), in particular for the transportation ticketing sector where there are already commercial deployments in the Far East and important trials in Western Europe and North America.

Most encouraging for the sector is the wide adoption by some of the major organisations that control the issuance of tickets, such as Ticketmaster, British Airways and Tickets.com. This is coupled with the involvement of the key operators and technology providers such as O2, NTT, DoCoMo, Vodafone, Nokia and Samsung.

Juniper Research illustrates the current and near-future status of mobile ticketing with analysis and interviews from representatives of some of the leading organisations in the growing mobile ticket industry.

Key findings from the report include:

• Savings for the airline industry of $500 million each year by migrating to mobile boarding passes
• A total of almost $87 billion worth of mobile ticketing transactions by 2011
• NFC will start to create traction from 2009 onwards.

The report summarised that 2007 had been an important and groundbreaking year for the sector with trials and commercial deployments expected to continue throughout 2008 and beyond.

Mobile Tickets

Date: June 26 2009 Mobile services

The UK government has confirmed that it is looking at giving more people the option of purchasing tickets for buses and trains with their mobile phones.

According to transport minister Lord Adonis, using smart ticketing more widely across the country could help improve interchange between different types of public transport.

He cited Japan as an example of one nation where consumers regularly use their handsets as their ticket to travel on subways and railways.

"By extending the use of smart ticketing technology, we can transform people's perception and experience of public transport," the minister commented.

Lord Adonis added that using mobile phones in this way could be "critical" towards making the public transport sector more cohesive.

Transport operators across the world are already looking at various possible ways in which handsets could be used to improve processes.

For example, German airline Lufthansa recently confirmed that it is considering allowing passengers to use their mobile phones as boarding passes on its flights.
