According to trade mag New Media Age the Ministry of Sound has hit on a new way to ensure blaggers don’t lie their way into the club by claiming to be a random person on the guest list. They are planning to get people on the list to send a picture of themselves in via their mobile phones prior to any event. Bouncers would then check arriving guests against their picture. Ministry are, of course, known for sending out misleading press releases to get some coverage so it might not be true, though this one sounds just about believable enough to be real.
