QR codes, wristbands, NFC phones -- scan them at every gate in under a second. The North Texas Fair & Rodeo tripled gate speed and went from 4 to 16 POS stations. Track every entry and exit, manage real-time capacity, and broadcast emergency messages to all scanners instantly. Zero lines, zero guesswork.
From the moment a guest approaches the gate to the moment their data appears on the dashboard -- fast enough that you never see a line form.
Guest shows QR code, taps wristband, or presents NFC phone at the gate reader
System checks ticket validity, VIP status, re-entry rules, and fraud flags in real time
On-grounds headcount increments immediately. Capacity percentage recalculates live
Gate status, scan rate, and attendance data appear on the operator dashboard in real time
Your operations team sees every gate's status, scan volume, and capacity contribution in a single view. Alerts fire automatically when something needs attention.
Every entry method feeds the same validation engine and updates the same dashboard. Mix and match based on your event setup.
Guests show QR code on their phone or printed ticket. Staff scans with handheld reader or phone camera.
Guest taps wristband to the gate reader. No phone needed. Works even in crowded, high-throughput scenarios.
Tickets added to Apple Wallet or Google Pay. Guest taps phone to NFC reader at the gate -- just like transit.
Staff types in a ticket number or name for lookup. Covers edge cases: dead phone, lost wristband, will-call pickup.
Set your max, define alert thresholds, and let the system handle the rest. Automated warnings at 80%, 90%, and 100% keep your team ahead of the crowd.
Define capacity limits per zone, per gate, or for the entire venue. Update limits on the fly as conditions change.
Push notifications to staff phones at 80%, 90%, and 100% capacity. Configurable per zone with escalation chains.
Generate timestamped compliance reports showing real-time headcount at any moment. Exportable PDF for inspectors.
Compare attendance curves across days, weeks, and seasons. Predict when you'll hit capacity based on historical data.
Broadcast emergency alerts to every scanner device instantly. Plus, phone numbers of online and wallet ticket buyers are available for safety and emergency contact.
Every scan is a data point. Over time, access data reveals patterns that help you staff smarter, open gates earlier, and understand guest behavior.
Identify the exact hours when gates see the highest traffic. Schedule extra staff and open additional gates before the rush hits.
Track how long guests stay on average. Longer dwell = more spending. See how weather, day of week, and entertainment affect stay duration.
See how many guests leave and come back. High re-entry rates might mean parking lot trips for meals -- an opportunity for on-site food sales.
Overlay today's admission curve against yesterday, last week, or last year. Spot trends and anomalies instantly.
“We had two of our biggest years, and the accountability was so much more accurate.”
— Justin Jonas, Executive Director, San Angelo Stock Show & Rodeo“There were no more lines. We doubled our capacity. Compared to the ticket entrances, we tripled our speed.”
