Let's take this a little bit further. . .

Interesting proposal from the Geetar here to utilize ticket technology at ND in a whole variety of ways. The idea of an electronic ID to replace tickets has some advantages, but I am not too far removed from my days at the university to be concerned with some of the Big Brother implications. However, if this were its intended use. . .

While it would be possible for card owners to convert their seats into regular tickets, they would have to go through the ticket office to do so. If a card owner used this process an excessive number of times, it would give the ticket office the sufficient red flag to check out how the seats were being used. It would also give ushers a list of tickets that had been converted from cardholder to paper, giving them the opportunity to see how those seats were being used. If visiting fans were turning up in those seats every week....

No more sea of red in our own stadium - awesome! We could take this a few steps further and track decibel levels from different seating sections to rate fan enthusiasm. Maybe pressure sensors in the wooden benches to see who hasn't stood for the entire game. I'm coming around as long as the right Big Brother is watching.
Send a volley cheer on high . . or else!
