Toronto and Calgary sports fans will soon be able to skip the lineup when purchasing snacks before or during games.
Scotiabank Arena in Toronto and Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary are spending the fall rolling out Amazon Web Services technology allowing some of the venues' stores to offer fans checkout-free shopping — and the Seattle-based e-commerce giant says this is just the beginning.
Though the stores have a myriad of tech to keep the system running, Jenkins said the system really only collects information on what people purchase and the card they put it on. The system does not use facial recognition nor any other kind of biometric identifiers, he stressed. Amazon has been dabbling with the system since 2018. It is already used by 70 Amazon-owned stores and more than 85 third-party retailers across the U.S., U.K. and Australia, including LaGuardia, LAX and O’Hare airports, some Six Flags theme parks and stadiums TD Garden in Boston, Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and the United Centre in Chicago.
Amazon positioned the model as a win-win because it helps fans avoid long checkout lines that keep them from the game and it could boost sales because fewer shoppers abandon purchases when they don’t have to wait.
