Pechanga Arena in San Diego
Last year, Pechanga Arena, the home stadium for San Diego’s soccer and hockey teams, partnered with a firm called PopID to implement facial recognition-based ticketing. Like others on the list, the facial recognition ticketing option provided by PopID lets visitors speed through lines by removing the need to pull out a physical ticket or swipe through a phone for a barcode. PopID has aspirations to extend its face-based authentication methods for in-stadium payments as well, so attendees can one day rely on their face to purchase drinks and food.
