MMS Mobile Tickets

Soon, football fans will be able to pass through a turnstile and flow seemlessly into a stadium by simply selecting their entry ticket downloaded onto their cell phone, placing it in front of an electronic eye which will read the bar code (the photo is a bar code that functions as a ticket), and the turnstile will open and let them through.

It is not happening yet for real, but thousands of visitors to CeBIT will be able to try out this new mobile application at various stands, per an article in the Financial Times (subscription required).
