I had to use something like this to get into The Killers gig last week at the O2 in London (fantastic gig btw, and Andy Bell from Erasure made a special guest appearance to sing A Little Respect which was the cherry on top, but I digress).
The WiFi in the O2 was woeful, and even on "The best network" EE the app wasn't loading.
Eventually after stepping aside and letting a load of people go in front of us I managed to get it to load, but it was a dreadful experience.
Contrast that with seeing the Pet Shop Boys last month in Birmingham where the ticket was on my phone in Apple Wallet was night and day (and you could print the ticket if you didn't have an iPhone, or wanted a physical version).
I mean Ticketmaster’s current best practice seems to be NFC tickets stored in a mobile wallet which do work offline
