ticket

Alcatel-Lucent’s Youth Lab - a research arm limited to those born between 1977 and 1998 - found that almost 90% of young people would like to pay a monthly fee for a mobile-phone wallet, mainly for the privilege of not having to wait in line for movie tickets.

The survey polled over 200 participants, spread over 10 countries and self selected. Some insight into the demographic may be gleaned from the fact that a third of the participants had already used their mobile phone to buy bus or rail tickets, and almost the same figure to pay for parking.
