One of the nuggets that came out of CES 2010 was that users of Fandango's iPhone app will soon be able to utilize paperless ticketing via their device. The app may be able to produce scannable barcodes that would allow users to not have to worry about printing a ticket, be it via a kiosk or printer, according to Hothardware.com.
Darren Cross of Fandango said at a session on iPhone apps at CES, "We're testing it now. It's not too far away. We'll have it pretty soon."
This would be similar to what Starbucks is currently trialing in limited locations. Rather than using your Starbucks card, you use the app and the iPhone displays a barcode in the same way you use your Starbucks Card to make purchases.
Currently Fandango's app allows users to find movies, theaters, buy tickets, watch trailers, discover theater amenities, and connect with Google Maps to find driving directions, amongst other features.
