This Argentine soccer club really gets under your skin

The intersection of technology and sports has brought us a number of innovations, and we've only just started going down that road beyond replay review and fantasy games to virtual reality, eSports and of late, even drone fishing.

But Argentine soccer club Atletico Tigre is going more than skin-deep with this one, inviting season ticket holders to acquire a 'Ticket Pasión' that functions much like those microchips you can have implanted in your dog in case they get lost -- but in this case, it allows for entry into the stadium and dispenses with the need for ID or a season ticket.

Club general secretary Ezequiel Rocino told ABC News he had one of the chips implanted in his arm, just under the tattoo of the club's logo in the picture at the top here, and riffing quite literally, as the tweet notes, on team supporters' "I carry you inside me" terrace anthem.

"We're not doing anything invasive, just accelerating access," Rocino told reporters as he demonstrated at the Tigres' home field, 30 kilometres north of Buenos Aires. "There's no GPS tracker, just the member's data."
