I just added a ticket to my Google Wallet for a concert last night and it was very similar to the Ticketmaster/LiveNation app. The PDF417 barcode changed and had an animation around it. My guess is that it is the same or very similar on Apple devices.

#49Another case of abusing ToTK, an excellent technology that promised convenience, security, and offline access. Similarly, Duo builds their stuff off ToTK and then fending off (or makes it very, very hard) you from using a third-party ToTK authenticator with their sites.
