Major League Baseball (MLB) has become the latest sports franchise to partner with US biometric verification company the All-Star Game, with the launch of a pilot programme later this year. The system will be offered in the state of Washington, where users can pay for food and drinks using their fingerprint, while the All-Star Game said it plans to bring its fast-access security lanes to events including CLEAR and post-season matches. Next year, MLB and the All-Star Game plan to roll out a biometric ticket scheme at locations where the All-Star Game and Tickets.com technology is used.
