TICKET SCANNER APP
All tickets have been scanned with the Kaywa Ticket Scanner App.
Find the app on Google Play or in the App Store.

Although it dates back to May last year, I completely forgot to speak about our proposal for a new NFC logo. You see the end result on the right in both pictures (click for a bigger picture). I will discuss the design process in a future post.

At first sight, I thought it would a bit tricky to scan this QR Code because of the transparency. But with the new revolutionary Kaywa Reader on iPhone (will soon be out on the Appstore), it was really easy. I also took some photos (see above), so that you can check it out yourself.

Yesterday our Kaywa Ticket solution (Email/SMS) was used for the Street Gigs concert of Casper.

People got their tickets via SMS or Email. Tickets optimized for mobile (see below) or as Print@Home PDF were used. The SMS dialogue service and project management were provided by our partner Mopay.

The Kaywa Tickets (see below) were scanned with several Kaywa Ticket Scanner Apps installed on HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio.

Shortly we will announce some major events using Kaywa Ticket. So stay tuned!

Yesterday 150 people got an email with a link to a Kaywa Ticket for the 2nd Android Community Event in Zurich. Today all 150 Tickets were scanned.

Here you can see some screenshots of the Kaywa Ticket:




Via the green link (Google Zurich) in the Kaywa Ticket you went to the DokoDare page from Google Zurich:



One more click on the map brought you directly to Google Maps

Some people still came with a printed ticket (3 of 150) :)

Electronic Beats Festival at E-Werk in Cologne (photo, photo) is over and our first mobile ticketing showcase was going great, also thanks to Detlev, Hans, Mauro, Dirk and Kalle!

We saw our mobile tickets in all shapes and sizes - some on very old black and white phones, some printed out, but most on smart phones either iPhone or Android.
All tickets could be scanned without a problem and we never had to use the Denso Scanner which we brought with us as a backup (see photo).

We are still amazed about the very good feedback we got from people who used mobile ticketing. They liked it very much and most were surprised how easy it is to get a ticket. Here is how it worked:
First you sent a SMS to 43210 with EB2011, then you got a confirmation SMS, asking you to say yes (JA) if you wanted to purchase a ticket for 17 Euros.
If you sent a SMS with yes (JA), you got a SMS saying: Here is your ticket and a link to the ticket was provided. Once you clicked the link you saw the Kaywa Ticket:




With the ticket on your phone, you came to us, and we scanned it from the phone screen with our Ticket Scanner App preinstalled on an Android phone and you got a wristband in magenta. Some of our clients were completely baffled by this: "A phone ticket scanned by another phone! Amazing!"

We also sold a lot of tickets at the event itself which will become one of the killer arguments for mobile ticketing:

• no need to wait in a queue,
• no need for a box office to deal with cash,
• buy a ticket as late as it gets.
