Looking at this and the figures involved, £40m (or whatever) for a 32000 stadium with an arena and a hotel is a bargain.

Bargain or done on the cheap? Although if they literally only have to pay for the stadium build because all the infrastructure is being paid for by others that makes things a lot easier.

Heading to the Maracanã stadium for a game next week, access is all facial recognition with all information uploaded before from passport and selfies. Assuming this is to potentially prevent touts in some form, I suspect PL teams will have in place in the next year to make sure all tickets go back through their ticket exchange so they can make the money off it.

Its the law for all stadiums above 20K in Brazil. They claim as well as obviously stopping resale they can get people through the turnstiles far quicker. Three people through in the time it previously took for one.
