Eliminating Scalper Tickets! Gopass Facial Recognition Real-Name System Creates a Zero-Fake-Ticket Music Festival

Scalper tickets seriously harm fans’ rights and disrupt the market! Gopass facial recognition fast-entry technology has been successfully implemented at Ultra and S2O music festivals, enabling true real-name ticket verification and eliminating counterfeit and resold tickets. Discover how to implement this system now!

1. Scalper Ticket Chaos: Can Facial Recognition Be the Solution?

In recent years, tickets for concerts and music festivals have become extremely hard to get, with scalper ticket problems appearing time and again. These not only infringe upon fans' rights but also promote unfair transactions. In response, on February 26, 2025, Taipei Arena announced discounted venue rental fees for event organizers that implement real-name ticketing, highlighting official efforts to tackle this issue. However, traditional real-name systems still have loopholes—ensuring the ticket holder is the actual purchaser is the real key.

That’s where Gopass, the facial recognition fast-entry solution developed by GoFace, comes into play. Since 2023, Gopass has been successfully used in large-scale music festivals such as Ultra Taiwan and S2O Taiwan, achieving true real-name verification with precise and efficient facial recognition technology—eliminating scalper tickets and enhancing the overall event experience.

2. How Do Scalper Tickets Affect the Event Market?

Scalper tickets have long plagued the global concert and music festival scene. Whether through bots snapping up tickets for resale at inflated prices or individuals bulk-buying using fake accounts, these behaviors prevent true fans from purchasing tickets at face value—and even fuel illegal economic activities.

• Soaring Prices Hurt Consumers
  Scalper tickets often sell for multiple times their original price, making them unaffordable for average fans. Some even fall victim to scams by purchasing unofficial or fake tickets.
• Disrupted Market Order Hurts Organizers
  Scalpers often bulk-purchase tickets the moment sales open, creating an illusion of sell-outs. However, if they fail to resell the tickets, they often return them last minute, leading to empty seats. True fans miss out, atmosphere suffers, and brand image can be damaged. Over time, this chaos could affect an event’s reputation and growth.
• Fake Tickets Increase Verification Complexity
  Scalping isn't just about price—fake tickets are a major issue. Traditional ticketing methods (QR codes, barcodes) are vulnerable to forgery and resale, making verification more difficult and potentially delaying performances.

3. Facial Recognition x Real-Name System: How Gopass Solves the Problem

While traditional real-name systems require tickets to match ID documents, on-site verification is still manual—leading to delays and potential impersonation. Gopass facial recognition fast-entry technology offers a faster, safer, and more accurate solution to enforce real-name verification.

Key Advantages of Gopass:

✅ Ticketless Entry, No Scalping or Fakes

Using AI facial recognition, attendees upload their facial image during ticket purchase. On event day, they simply stand in front of a scanning device. The system compares their face with cloud data, and when the light turns green, they’re verified—no physical tickets needed. Scalping becomes impossible.

✅ Ultra-Fast Recognition, Streamlined Entry

Traditional checks often cause long queues. Gopass identifies individuals in just 0.2 seconds, enabling quick entry for large crowds and reducing congestion. Organizers also benefit from lower manpower requirements and reduced operational costs.

✅ High Accuracy for True Identity Verification

With AI models trained on massive datasets, Gopass achieves over 99.8% accuracy. Even with face masks, hairstyle changes, or elaborate makeup, it reliably identifies individuals. At festivals, Gopass successfully verified attendees with glitter-covered faces or different looks on separate days—ensuring only ticket holders can enter.

✅ Privacy & Data Protection

All facial data is encrypted using military-grade AWS security, used only for entry verification, and deleted after the event. Personal data is never stored, ensuring full privacy for users.

4. Success Stories: How Ultra and S2O Use Gopass

Since 2023, Ultra Taiwan and S2O Taiwan have been pioneers in adopting Gopass facial recognition for event entry.

Ultra Taiwan, one of the world’s most iconic electronic music festivals, faces enormous ticket demand and frequent misuse of non-transferable tickets. With Gopass, facial recognition replaced traditional entry methods—improving identity verification, stopping fake tickets, and speeding up the entry process. The result: overwhelming praise from fans.

S2O Taiwan, a globally renowned water music festival, attracts massive crowds from around the world. Gopass not only accelerated entry but also eliminated concerns about water-damaged paper tickets—adding convenience and peace of mind.
