hiii🎀

hope you’re doing good, you have been to a svt concert right? I just had a few questions regarding how to purchase the tickets… so I don’t really have any carat friends irl, which means I’ll have to go to a concert on my own (which is not the issue) the main issue is I’m not really a tech person so I have no idea on how to purchase the tickets and everything 😭 the last time svt came to my city I was a minor so I couldn’t attend any tour, now I can attend but I’m just so confused about everything… do you use apps like ticket master? Also do carats with membership get any special benefits (aside from being allowed to book the tickets early)

hii!!! yes i just went to my first svt concert last year and it was a bit wack especially cause kpop concert ticketing is SO MUCH MORE DIFFERENT than other concerts i have been to

i’m not totally sure about anywhere outside the US however, but i’ll still share my experiences if it can shed some help on anything!!

—

the tickets were through ticketmaster ONLY (other websites will say but if they cannot redirect you it is a scam).

a couple days before the tickets went live i added both my credit and debit card (i recommend both just in the case the other one doesn’t work but obviously not required for good experience, but in general it is good to have two cards.)

also if you have more than one device or want to open as many tabs, you cannot use the same account on both. so i made two accounts and had one up on my phone (app/website) and computer (website). however, if there is more than one day, you can have the same account for both days on separate tabs. you could use the membership for any tickets.

when the website/app’s ticket sales start, try to refresh once! it can be a jumpscare when it comes up but my reflexes were terrible and i got a low place in line but i refreshed it and waited longer. this is just a possible forewarning though LOL.

so for the membership….in my opinion, it’s really only useful for concert tickets. the other benefits can be obtained via group orders & when people post the photos to social media apps. for ticketing, i had the membership and someone i knew didn’t, so when we ticketed, and i objectively got better seats. or if you don’t want to pay flat ~$20 you could always buy them off someone on instagram or ticketmaster (i recommend instagram cause they WILL give you face value or something most likely to be cheaper than resale sites).

also important for ALL CONCERTS!! please update your password and do not use generic ones!! someone bought tickets from me through the app and a random person stole them! however, if this does happen, it is not the end! call and pester ticketmaster service every morning! this is how we got them back (reddit lowkey gave good advice). if you are able to, add them to your wallet asap and take a video/photo just in case someone later tries to take them, you have evidence.

—

this sounds and is a lot of information, but it is all that i found somewhat helpful and unique or something i learned/experienced. i hope some of these at least make you feel a bit more secure when hyping yourself for the ticketing process.

i believe in you!!! it does seem very scary and this feeling won’t go away till after ticketing especially if it’s your first time. however, remember that if you don’t get the tickets the first time (UNLIKELY) then you still have a big chance of acquiring some later!!

if anyone reading this and has any other opinions to add, please comment!

Future trends in ferry ticketing: Contactless payments and mobile tickets.

The transportation industry is undergoing a technological revolution, and ferry services are no exception. As customer expectations evolve and digital transformation becomes imperative, ferry operators are increasingly embracing modernization in their ticketing systems. The shift towards contactless payments and mobile ticketing is not just about convenience—it is about improving operational efficiency, safety, and the overall passenger experience. In a post-pandemic world where hygiene and speed are more critical than ever, these digital solutions are becoming the cornerstone of modern ferry operations.

The Rise of Contactless Payments in Ferry Services

Contactless payment technology has become a game-changer in the ferry industry. No longer reliant on paper tickets and cash transactions, ferry services are increasingly integrating tap-and-go solutions that streamline boarding and improve efficiency.

Technology Behind Contactless Payments

The backbone of contactless payment systems lies in technologies such as Near Field Communication (NFC), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and mobile wallets like Apple Pay, Google Wallet, and Samsung Pay. NFC allows secure transactions between two electronic devices within close proximity. RFID enables automatic identification and tracking through tags embedded in smart cards or devices. These technologies offer reliable, quick, and secure methods for processing payments, ensuring minimal contact and maximum convenience.

Benefits for Passengers and Operators

For passengers, contactless payments translate into faster check-ins, reduced queuing times, and a smoother boarding process. These systems reduce the friction often associated with traditional ticketing, allowing travelers to use bank cards or mobile phones without the need for cash or physical tickets. For operators, the benefits include improved transaction speed, better data collection for passenger analytics, reduced overhead from cash handling, and enhanced security against theft and fraud.

Challenges and Solutions in Implementation

While the adoption of contactless systems presents numerous benefits, implementation is not without its hurdles. Technical challenges include upgrading existing infrastructure, ensuring compatibility across devices, and maintaining data security. Infrastructural issues often involve retrofitting older vessels or terminals to support modern systems. User adoption can also be slow, particularly among less tech-savvy demographics.

Solutions include phased implementation strategies, comprehensive staff training, public awareness campaigns, and user-friendly interfaces that simplify the transition. Moreover, government subsidies and public-private partnerships can assist in covering the initial investment costs, ensuring a smooth modernization journey.

Mobile Ticketing and Its Impact on Ferry Travel

The rise of smartphones has led to a surge in mobile ticketing, allowing passengers to purchase, store, and use tickets directly from their devices. This shift enhances the travel experience and aligns with global trends in digital transformation.

Features of Modern Mobile Ticketing Apps

Modern mobile ticketing applications offer a suite of features designed to simplify travel. These include:

Ticket purchase and payment integration

Real-time service updates and alerts

QR code or barcode scanning for ticket validation

Digital storage and history of past trips

Multi-modal transport integration, allowing a single app to manage buses, trains, and ferries

These functionalities make mobile ticketing more than a transactional tool—it becomes a comprehensive travel companion.

Enhanced Customer Experience Through Mobile Tickets

Mobile ticketing enhances accessibility and convenience. Travelers no longer need to queue at ticket counters or worry about losing paper tickets. The ability to book and manage trips on-the-go ensures a seamless experience, especially for commuters and tourists. Additionally, digital platforms often support multiple languages, making them accessible to international passengers.

Security Measures in Mobile Ticketing

Security remains a top priority. Modern mobile ticketing platforms use end-to-end encryption, two-factor authentication (2FA), and biometric verification to protect user data and transactions. These measures mitigate risks such as fraud, unauthorized access, and data breaches, building trust among users and ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.

Integration of Contactless and Mobile Ticketing with Smart Ferry Ecosystems

As ferry systems become more digitally connected, contactless and mobile ticketing are integrating into broader smart transportation ecosystems that leverage IoT, cloud computing, and big data.

Role of Data Analytics in Optimizing Ticketing and Operations

Digital ticketing Kiosk systems generate vast amounts of data that can be analyzed to improve operations. Passenger flow patterns, peak travel times, and route popularity can inform scheduling, staffing, and capacity planning. This data-driven approach enhances service reliability, reduces operational costs, and improves customer satisfaction.

Interoperability with Other Transport Modes

Seamless travel requires interoperability between different modes of transportation. Integrated ticketing systems allow passengers to use a single platform or smart card across buses, trains, and ferries. This unified experience encourages the use of public transport and supports city-wide mobility plans.

Environmental and Economic Impacts of Digital Ferry Ticketing

Digital ticketing systems are not only convenient and efficient—they are also environmentally sustainable and economically advantageous.

Reducing Carbon Footprint through Paperless Ticketing

By eliminating paper tickets, ferry operators contribute to reducing deforestation, energy consumption, and waste. Digital systems also reduce the need for physical infrastructure such as ticket booths and printing equipment, leading to a smaller carbon footprint and supporting broader environmental goals.

Cost Efficiency for Ferry Operators

Digital ticketing minimizes expenses associated with paper, ink, labor, and error correction. Automated systems reduce reliance on manual processing, leading to fewer human errors and lower operational costs. Additionally, real-time analytics allow for dynamic resource allocation, further boosting efficiency.

Future Outlook: Innovations Shaping Ferry Ticketing

The future of ferry ticketing is being shaped by advanced technologies that promise even greater security, efficiency, and personalization.

Biometric Authentication and AI Integration

Biometric systems such as facial recognition and fingerprint scanning are being explored for ticket validation. These technologies offer a frictionless experience while enhancing security. AI is also being used to analyze passenger behavior, predict demand, and personalize services.

Blockchain for Ticketing Transparency and Security

Blockchain technology can revolutionize ticketing by creating tamper-proof, transparent, and decentralized records. This can prevent issues such as ticket fraud, duplication, and resale. Smart contracts can automate refunds and enforce terms of service, ensuring fairness and trust.

Personalization and Dynamic Pricing Models

AI-powered platforms can offer tailored ticketing options based on travel history, preferences, and demand patterns. Dynamic pricing models, similar to those used in airlines, can optimize revenue while offering value to passengers through real-time discounts and peak/off-peak pricing.

Conclusion

The modernization of ferry ticketing systems through contactless payments and mobile technology represents a transformative shift in maritime transportation. These innovations enhance the passenger experience, improve operational efficiency, and support sustainable practices. As ferry operators continue to integrate these solutions with smart technologies and data analytics, the industry is poised for a future of seamless, secure, and personalized travel. Embracing these advancements today ensures that ferry services remain competitive, resilient, and aligned with the expectations of tomorrow's travelers.
