Abstract
A method and apparatus for issuing a non-transferable ticket for a transient event are intended to prevent ticketed persons from improperly transferring non-transferable tickets. The method includes receiving a request for a ticket to a transient event, such as boarding a vessel for a specified passage, or attending an entertainment event. The ticket request identifies a ticketed person and a ticketed event. The method further includes confirming a ticketed person identity using a recorded identification document. An image of the ticketed person is obtained, such as by taking a digital image of the ticketed person's face. The ticketed person image is fixed with ticket data in a suitable media, such as on a paper ticket, and the ticket is issued. Because of the presence of the fixed ticketed person image, the ticket cannot be used by anyone except the original ticketed person. The ticket may also serve as a temporary identification document.
