The new "dish" quickly caught the attention of Chinese netizens.

The China News Service reported on Tuesday that Chinese ticketing platform Damai is planning to implement a paperless admission system using QR codes or facial recognition for concerts. 

While some applauded the news, saying it might spell the end of high prices driving by scalpers, some pointed out that since QR codes are transferrable, it won't be able to stop scalping.
