Boston Red Sox collaborate with Idemia on pre-match ID system

Reston, Va and Boston, Ma

Idemia and the 2018 World Champion Boston Red Sox, have teamed up to bring Idemia’s Identogo enrollment centres to Red Sox home games. As the first Major League Baseball team to collaborate with Idemia, the agreement allows fans with TSA Pre✓ to access Fenway Park via an Idemia Fast Pass lane. The lanes are exclusively for Idemia customers and is not a TSA Pre✓ security line.

Idemia will have enrollment agents at Red Sox home games starting at the beginning of the 2019 season.

Idemia’s centres offer enrollment for TSA Pre✓, a programme that allows travellers to enjoy a fast and efficient screening experience at U.S. airports. Once approved for TSA Pre✓, travellers do not need to remove their shoes, liquids, laptops, belts and jackets as they go through security. There are more than 450 TSA Pre✓ lanes at over 200 U.S. airports. The cost of enrollment in the programme is $85 and is good for five years, that breaks down to just $17 per year.

"We are excited to work with Idemia to bring the enrollment process for TSA Pre✓ to Red Sox fans. As an organisation that has employees travelling on a regular basis, we appreciate the kind of convenience this programme can bring while maintaining a high level of safety and security. TSA Pre✓ is a programme that anyone who flies should consider, and we are pleased the easy enrollment process will be available at our home games." Said Red Sox Executive Vice President Troup Parkinson.

"Finding innovative ways to expand the availability of TSA Pre✓ enrollment has been a primary focus for us in the last year. We are pleased that the legendary, World Champion Boston Red Sox are the first Major League Baseball team to partner with us. And we are happy to be able to offer Idemia Fast Pass lanes into Fenway stadium for anyone who enrolls in TSA Pre✓ at a home game or is already enrolled in the TSA Pre✓." Commented Charles R. Carroll, Senior Vice President, Idemia Identity & Security, NA.
