Jared Leto Touts ‘Humans Only’ Verified Tickets
Jared Leto has announced that Thirty Seconds to Mars will partner with World, an identity-verification project co-founded by Sam Altman, to introduce a “humans-only” ticket option on the band’s upcoming 2027 European and UK tour. The initiative is aimed at reducing ticket-bot activity and limiting fake accounts in at least part of the on-sale process for the “A Beautiful Lie vs This Is War” run.
The band said in an Instagram post that it will offer “special, humans-only tickets” tied to the World app, with “no bots allowed” and perks for verified fans.
Leto also explained in a video message that the verification step will happen “in person” through the World app. He framed it as a fairness measure: “That means that bots and fake accounts can’t flood the system,” he said, adding that it is meant to create “one real fan, one real shot at tickets” and “less chaos, more access.”
World is known for biometric verification, and the report noted that the band’s method goes beyond a standard account check, using eye-scanning to confirm identity for this ticket tier. The arrangement is not described as applying to every ticket for the tour, but instead appears tied to a limited tranche or presale-style allocation under the “humans-only” banner.
The tour is billed around two of the group’s best-known albums and is scheduled for spring 2027, with listings indicating major European arena dates. If the system works as advertised, it could become a high-profile test of whether biometric tools can meaningfully curb automated scalping in a live-music market that has struggled for years to keep ticketing access fair.
