The ticket runs
the whole event.
The QR code on the pass an attendee already holds carries entry, zone access, cashless spend and sponsor activations. RFID and NFC wristbands are supported too, when a site actually wants one.
The problem
Why this exists
You should not have to buy hardware to run your own event.
The usual answer to running things inside an event is RFID: order stock weeks ahead, encode it, distribute it at the gate, rent readers, replace whatever gets lost. We support all of that, and most organizers never need it, because the pass is already on the attendee’s phone and every checkpoint inside reads the same code the gate did.
What you get
In-event digitization
One code, from the gate onward
The same QR that got them through the door works everywhere inside. Nothing to hand out, nothing to encode, nothing to collect at the end of the night.
Zoned access control
VIP, backstage and area-restricted entry enforced at internal checkpoints against the actual ticket type, rather than by the colour of a band and a hopeful steward.
Cashless spend
Attendees top up and pay at bars, food stalls and merchandise stands by presenting the same credential, which shortens queues and takes cash off the floor.
Sponsor activations
Stands and data-capture points scan it, so an activation can prove exactly who engaged with it instead of estimating footfall.
RFID and NFC wristbands, when you want them
For multi-day festivals, cashless-heavy sites or anywhere phones are impractical, bands carry the same identity and the same permissions. An option, not a prerequisite.
One trail, not three vendors
Spend, zone traffic and activation engagement land next to your ticketing data instead of in a separate supplier’s portal.

Questions
In-event digitization, specifically.
Do we need RFID or NFC wristbands?
No. The QR code on the ticket already in the attendee’s phone carries entry, zone access, cashless spend and sponsor activations, with no stock to order or encode. If you do want bands, we support RFID and NFC and they carry the same identity.
When would we choose wristbands over the QR code?
Multi-day festivals where a durable credential beats a phone battery, sites with heavy cashless volume at the bar, and anywhere handling phones is impractical. For a single-night show or a seated event, the QR is almost always simpler and cheaper.
How does cashless work without a wristband?
Attendees top up against their pass and then present the same QR code at bars, food stalls and merchandise stands. Staff scan it from an ordinary phone, so there are no readers to rent.
Can we restrict VIP and backstage areas?
Yes. Internal checkpoints check the credential against the ticket type, so access is enforced by what someone actually bought rather than by a wristband colour.
What if an attendee’s phone dies?
The pass can be reprinted at the box office on thermal stock, and the printed QR behaves exactly like the one on the phone. On a wristband event, the band is unaffected either way.
