Gone are the days when you'd queue to buy a ticket for a concert, or wait for one to arrive in the post. As ticket touting grows into a money-grabbing monster and legitimate ticketing goes mobile, how we buy tickets for everything from train journeys to football matches is fundamentally changing.

Described as both a “revolution” and a “travesty”, the release of blockbuster dystopian movie Snowpiercer marks a tipping point in the industry’s shift from analog to digital. The film was launched in select cinemas before becoming available on video on demand just three weeks later. Could this mark the future of film distribution?

Over the past ten years nothing much has changed about a trip to the cinema, other than the price. But with 62% of moviegoers saying prices are too high, it’s no surprise that attendance is falling. Could an app introducing dynamic pricing lure film lovers back to the big screens?
