Jared Leto & Sam Altman Join Forces For Biometric To Get His Band's Concert Tickets

Jared Leto’s band is using World’s new Concert Kit tool to set aside a portion of tickets for verified human fans on its 2027 European tour. The tech comes from Sam Altman’s Tools for Humanity, the company behind World ID, an encrypted digital passport created through iris and face scans.

According to the San Francisco Standard, the system is being used for select Thirty Seconds To Mars shows in Munich, Berlin, Hanover, London, and Manchester. Fans who want access to the reserved tickets must be “orb-verified,” meaning they need to visit one of World’s physical scanning devices to prove they are a real person.

Those tickets also come with a bonus, including one free additional ticket and merch vouchers.

The idea is to stop automated bots from scooping up tickets before real fans get a chance. World says its Concert Kit tool recently blocked more than 100,000 automated requests for free tickets to its Humans Only Concert in San Francisco, where nearly 1,000 verified humans claimed tickets for themselves and plus-ones.

The move comes as more platforms experiment with biometric checks to fight AI, bots, and fake accounts. Tinder recently began testing eye-scanning verification, asking users to prove their humanity before using the dating app.

Much like how 30 Seconds to Mars fans can score free swag for scanning their eyes, Tinder added the incentive of giving users free “boosts” as a reward.

For now, World says its ticketing system is optional, so fans who do not want to scan their eyes can still buy regular tickets through normal channels.

At concept I love the idea but then it's like let us scan your face and track you everywhere you go, recognize you in any store camera and I'm like eek! but I guess that's the future... idk.

We need universal income for giving our personal information and likeness to these companies who make so much money off of it. Give me $100k a month and you can scan my face.
