billettdata

Billettdata is a term used in Danish, Norwegian and Swedish to describe the data associated with tickets, whether physical or digital. It encompasses the information captured by ticketing systems to grant access to services or events and to process payments.

Core elements typically include a unique ticket identifier, the type of ticket (single ride, period pass, event admission), validity period and applicable zones or seats, the holder or purchaser’s identifier when required, fare class and price, discount eligibility, payment method, issuing authority, and a status flag such as issued, activated, used, or canceled. Many systems also store a cryptographic or barcode/QR code for validation, as well as timestamps of issuance and usage and a record of validation attempts.

Data sources include purchases at point-of-sale terminals, online orders, and mobile wallet transactions, with data flowing into central ticketing databases. Validation occurs at gates, readers, or mobile devices, generating event logs that support reconciliation and auditing.

Uses of billettdata include fare calculation and access control, revenue protection and fraud detection, service analytics and demand forecasting, and customer support and ticket management. Anonymized or aggregated data may be used for planning transport services or improving user experience, while more detailed data supports targeted pricing and personalized offers under appropriate consent.

Privacy and security considerations are important, with alignment to data protection laws such as GDPR. Practices typically involve data minimization, defined retention periods, access controls, encryption, and regular audits. Sharing with partners or contractors occurs under contractual safeguards, and individuals’ rights over their data are upheld according to applicable regulations.
