LOS ANGELES, Dec. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Ticketmaster,
a division of Live Nation Entertainment, announces Apple Pay
support with the latest update to its iOS app, transforming
mobile payments with an easy, secure and private way to pay.
As the leader in ticketing innovations, Ticketmaster will offer
Apple Pay to provide fans the best ticket buying experience.
Checkout is simple and can happen with a single touch—there's no
need to manually fill out lengthy account forms or repeatedly type
in shipping and billing information. Ticketmaster fans will be able
to make quick, convenient and secure purchases using Apple Pay with
Touch ID, making shopping easier than ever.
"We work hard to deliver simple and secure ways for fans to
purchase tickets to the events they love, and offering Apple Pay
makes our industry-leading app the most convenient, flexible and
secure way to buy," said Jared
Smith, president of Ticketmaster North America.
Apple Pay combines Apple's seamlessly integrated hardware,
software and services to create a unique, incredibly intuitive and
simple purchase experience. Security and privacy is at the
core of Apple Pay. When you add a credit or debit card to
Apple Pay, the actual card numbers are not stored on the
device nor on Apple servers. Instead, a unique Device Account
Number is assigned, encrypted and securely stored in
the Secure Element on your device. Each transaction is
authorized with a one-time unique dynamic security code,
instead of using the security code from the back of your
card.
Apple Pay is easy to set up and users will continue to receive
all of the rewards and benefits offered by their credit and debit
cards. Apple Pay is available in the Ticketmaster App on the iPhone
6 and iPhone 6 Plus, as well as iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3. For
