The article is deliberately inflammatory by labelling this as biometric data capture without consent.

It’s incredibly common for tickets to big gigs to have fine print along the lines of “by attending you consent to being recorded”. This has been the case for decades. If you’ve ever watched an official recording of a live performance, you’ve seen this in action.

This is just a novel presentation of what is already commonplace recording. And it’s great and it makes a point, but the article is bad.
