Primavera - first major festival to go paperless

Spanish Primavera is the first major music festival to switch to a mobile-only ticketing policy - Barcelona fest is abandoning physical and "print-at-home" tickets for its 20th anniversary next summer. Organizers say they hope to combat touts by implementing the technology, BBC reports. The festival draws 220,000 fans to Barcelona every year, and it made headlines last year by becoming the first European festival to achieve a 50/50 gender balance on its line-up.
