It ’d definitely cut down on paper waste — not to mention labour at slate retail society — but is there enough blank in the grocery for another ticket retailer , alongside Ticketmaster and everyone else ? Unless Apple will be collating other retailer ’ tickets into iTunes — taking a slicing of gain for themselves , course .
Then , there ’s return with security measure . If you misplace your iPhone , or had it stolen , what encounter then ? Would you be able to get sent a raw virtual ticket , to your substitution phone ? I have batch of question for this construct , but as it ’s a patent — and we know how oftenApple patentscrop up — I wo n’t spend all day consist on it . [ manifestly AppleviaMusic Ally ]
