MLB Ballparks To Feature Contactless Ticketing For Apple Devices

Major League Baseball and Tickets.com have a solution for those times when you’re rushing to the game just before first pitch — as long as you own an Apple device.

Tickets.com has partnered with technology provider Infinite Peripherals to continue implementing contactless ticketing at more MLB ballparks after a pilot with MLB and the Oakland Athletics.

The contactless system was piloted in September at the Oakland Coliseum, coinciding with the release of iOS 11, which introduced the NFC feature. According to the announcement, after that pilot was successful, the technology was implemented at a performing arts center in Houston.
