Mobile Payments Overtake Cash and Credit Cards In 2020

Smart ticketing is more than just mobile ticketing via a mobile ticketing app.

If we look at how we are consuming media, banking, shopping, and engaging with our family and friends, we're all using mobile apps on our smartphones, and this trend is going to carry on forward for generations. This is why selling travel/ gig/ festival/ theatre/ sports tickets through a mobile ticketing app is the easiest way for your business to capitalise on digital e-commerce and help you develop a relationship with your customers and improve their experience with your brand.

In a recent article where Jason Woosley, VP of commerce and developer experience, at Adobe says "e-commerce sales hit 4.2$ trillion" of which mobile sales were valued at just under $3 trillion, says Merchant Savvy mobile e-commerce statistics.

“The changes we’re seeing are things that are going to carry forward for generations,” said Jason Woosley, vice president, commerce and developer experience, at Adobe. “There’s just too much momentum and durability.”

Adobe surveys found that 9% of U.S. consumers, 8% of Japanese consumers, and 15% of United Kingdom consumers said they had never purchased anything online before March 2020. “This is a brand new audience for e-commerce,” Woosley said. “It’s likely these consumers are here to stay.”

To stay in the game, the transport sector, event organisers, and all other ticketing services must serve contemporary clients in modern ways, through their most used and trusted possession, their mobile phone.
