When attending an event at a venue, the attendee typically presents ticket information that is scanned by a venue scanner. In conventional systems, once validated, the scanner prints a paper stub that typically includes seat location data. Production of this paper stub can be dispensed with, and the associated data conveyed by the paper stub as well as additional information not contemplated or possible with paper stubs can be conveyed by an electronic stub or e-stub that resides on a device of the attendee, generally the same device employed to present the ticket information.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCING BIOMETRIC MATCHING ACCURACY
A system of enhancing biometric analysis matching utilizes an image sensor, such as a digital camera, to capture an image of a face of a person. The system may perform image enhancement, such as edge and contrast enhancement, prior to performing face matching. The enhancement may be localized to a given image region based on determined region illumination. The system may perform image processing and analysis comprising face detection, alignment, feature extraction, and recognition. A biometric recognition confidence indicator may be generated using the results of the image enhancement and analysis. At least partly in response to the biometric recognition confidence indicator falling below a threshold enhancing recognition confidence using an image of visual indicia captured using the image sensor.
When attending an event at a venue, the attendee typically presents ticket information that is scanned by a venue scanner. The process associated with scanning can be dispensed with, which can improve attendee experiences, reduce costs associated with managing a venue, as well as other advantages. For example, instead of scanning a ticket at a point of ingress to the venue, a device of the user can self-scan the ticket, and then present indicia that indicates this process has occurred. The indicia can be presented to a guest services representative, who can verify that a valid ticket was redeemed by merely observing the indicia and without scanning.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ACCESS VERIFICATION WITHIN A VENUE
Certain embodiments include a system and method for generating verification of access to a venue. A system includes an access device allowing access to a venue based on authentication data from a patron without presentation of a paper ticket or physical material created for the venue and a verification generation module generating a verification of access for the patron. The verification allows identification of an area and/or a feature to which the patron is allowed access. The access device and verification generation module may be integrated into a single unit. The system may also include a secondary access point for checking the verification to allow the patron access to at least one of an area and a feature of the venue. The secondary access point may check the verification without presentation of a printed material or personalized physical material created for an event at the venue.
