A digital ticket is a virtual instance of a ticket which represents the digitalization of rights to claim goods or services.

Criteria

A digital ticket must fulfill the following criteria:

  • Secure (unable to alter or counterfeit)
  • Portable (physical independence)
  • Off-line capable
  • Wide acceptability (In order to have the ticket generally accepted, some level of trust is needed.)
  • User-friendly

In addition, another three requirements are also important for digital tickets, they are:

  • Viewable
The terms and description of the service should be objectively understood by both the service provider and consumer or owner, so the value of the ticket can be determined. Moreover, this is an essential property to trace the digital ticket.
  • State manageable
Tickets may also have a payment status, i.e., paid or unpaid, and/or reservation status, e.g., waiting list, reserved, or canceled. The status may be changed dynamically. In addition, the ticket ownership can be rewritten when the ticket is transferred. However, it is difficult to allow these changes while still guaranteeing security.
  • (De)Composable
Combining two or more tickets is sometimes required to obtain a service or one ticket may comprise several parts. For example, a travel ticket can comprise an accommodation ticket and a plane ticket or a car rent ticket.

Besides the criteria mentioned above, there are still several features that should be concerned, such as anonymity, transferability and repetitive usability.

Lifecycle

The ticket is first issued by the service provider or issuer. The ownership of a ticket may change after it was issued, by transferring the ticket. Either the issuer or owner of ticket might view the status of the ticket. Finally, it is redeemed by the current owner at the service provider.

NFL Sunday Ticket from DirectTV - how long does install take?
Q. Hi all. I'm looking to get NFL Sunday Ticket. I currently do not use DirectTV, or any other dish network. Just digital cable. If I order DirectTV, does someone have to come install a dish at my house, or has the process changed? If so, how long does it take for someone to come set it up? Thanks.

A. They install the dish antenna and run the coax or connect coax to a connector(s) already there. They attach the coax to the new receiver(s). You have to purchase the whole directv package with a contract, etc. I would suggest waiting until you're ready to go HD, which costs more, because they have to install different dish and receivers for HD. I wouldn't get nfl sunday ticket without HD, but I did that last year and OD'd on football - it was pretty fun. Oh and it takes 2 to 3 hours depending on the number of receivers you get and if there is already coax in the room. NOTE: If you go with a DVR or HDDVR - make sure they run 2 coax cables into the receiver while they're there the first time so you can watch 1 channel while recording… [cont.]

Avatar? Digital 3d vs regular?
Q. I'm going to watch Avatar tomorrow, except I'm not sure whether to buy the tickets for the Digital 3d showing, or the regular showing? Which one is better/more comfortable to watch? What are the differences? Thanks.

A. 3d version is nice. I saw the preview in 3d at IMAX and it was great looking, they had one part of the preview where its flying slowing the area and it seemed like you were right there flying looking out the window. But that was part of the IMAX 3D. As for comfortable, regular is more comfortable depending on your eyes, it may take a little bit to get used to watching something in 3D if you havent done it before, but it usually passed within a few mins.
