Abstract:
A computer-implemented method includes monitoring one or more mobile devices within a venue. The computer-implemented method further includes receiving a scan event indication denoting a scan of a ticket by a scanning device. The computer-implemented method further includes, responsive to receiving a scan event indication, identifying a candidate list, wherein the candidate list includes one or more candidate mobile devices that are within a threshold distance of the scanning device. The computer-implemented method further includes associating the ticket with at least one of the one or more candidate mobile devices. A corresponding computer system and computer program product are also disclosed.
