Mobile ticketing will provide users with reduced coast, better security to fight fraud and improved environmental footprint by reducing paper. New research estimated that more than 2.6 billion mobile tickets will be delivered to around 208 million mobile phone users in cooperation with ticket issuers such as Ticketmaster, British Airways, and Tickets.com by 2011.

These early mobile ticketing trials are being controlled primarily by the ticketing issuers themselves. Early use of such barcode technologies with cellular phones will soon be complimented by the emergence of Near Field Communications.

The most important ideas to take into consideration are the savings. Airlines have the potential to save $500 million each year by changing to mobile boarding passes. Not to mention the convenience. Just imagine not having to keep up with your boarding pass or your concert ticket for the weeks before you need it. We all can keep track of our cellular phones easily because we are constantly using them. It is just too easy to leave your ticket laying around, however, since you are not in immediate need of it. Just think if you could just whip out your cell phone (that you will probably have out already anyway) when asked for your boarding pass, ticket, etc.

For all of those out there that depend on their phone for everything, this will just be another item to add to the list. Not only can you mobile phone now hold you schedule of when to be where, but it can also now become your means to get there and back.
