Abstract
A method and system for providing a ticket to a user using a portable terminal and using the provided ticket are provided. The method for providing a ticket involves a server capable of issuing the ticket and a ticket issuer issuing the ticket requested to be issued by the portable terminal using wired or wireless communication in the form of an e-ticket and storing information related to the ticket issued in the terminal. The method for using a ticket involves a ticket authentication/entry processor requesting the ticket server that issues the ticket an inquiry for the ticket related information upon receipt of the ticket related information using wired or wireless communication and determining whether the user of the terminal is allowed an entry depending on the inquiry result. Accordingly, the loss of tickets for accessing events or facilities can be prevented, and resources can be saved since digital transactions eliminate a need to use tickets in a printed form.
