First reported by NBC Sports Philadelphia, starting August 21st, Citizens Bank Park will become the first MLB stadium to install the MLB’s “Go-Ahead Entry” terminals.
‘Any fans who have completed registration for the program on the MLB Ballpark app, which includes a facial scan, can walk through and have their tickets automatically scanned. The team calls it “the ultimate hands-free, free-flow experience,”’ NBC reported.
According to the Phillies’ subpage on the MLB website, explained the 5-step process:
- Register for free using the latest version of the MLB Ballpark app. Ensure your tickets to the upcoming game are on your MLB Ballpark app account.
- Enter the Go-Ahead Entry Lane and Citizens Bank Park’s First Base Gate with your full party.
- Approach the gate to enter hands-free.
- When you arrive at the ballpark and proceed through the Go-Ahead Entry lane, all individuals will be scanned by the facial authentication cameras for entry. Your family and guests will enter Go-Ahead Entry with you to enter the park if the tickets are on your MLB Ballpark app account.
- Enjoy the ballgame!
The MLB plans to use Go-Ahead Entry at other ballparks next year.
Biometric Update added, ‘Facial recognition is used for entry to New York Mets games with a service provided by Wicket, while Clear is used for biometric entry to baseball games in Cleveland and elsewhere.
In June The WinePress reported that a sports stadium under the Australian Football League teamed-up with Amazon to introduce their “Just Walk Out” payment terminals.
Last November The WP also documented how the FIFA World Cup in Qatar featured iris scanners and other forms of contactless payment at the soccer spectacle.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:16-18
Yet another brick in the wall foreshadowing what is to come. Though we still have a bit of time left to go, in my opinion, however long that actually is, this is clearly another step towards the mark of the beast.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

This is all getting crazy
Yes it is, but it is also exciting and a sobering reminder to repent, stay or get back in the King James Bible, pray, fast, and do whatever you can for the Lord before we are caught up.
Amen, so true
Yes,yes and yes; the sad part is that people just don’t see what’s going on, their are blind. They will literally take the advise of the elite, “it’s for our safety and our security” and give over all their rights and follow the masses, “safety in numbers right?”.
Pick up a KJV Bible and learn the wisdom; God will give it to you if ya want it.
Amen, Amen
