RFID technology puts your event on the next level. Speed up all transactions, manage limited-access areas like a boss, push ticket fraud down to practically zero, and provide your event sponsors with an array of new promotional opportunities. You’ll be surprised how a single technology can be so versatile for both organizers and event goers while boosting revenue and reducing costs. Waterproof, maximally secure, non-transferable, and brandable RFID wristbands keep your organization and your event on the mind (and body!) of each attendee.
A golden opportunity for promotions, prize giveaways, and endorsements, RFID wristbands or cards strengthen the connection between the event itself and its attendees. The system can enhance revenue opportunities substantially over traditional tickets and vending. Food and beverage transactions go faster. Lines are less inhibiting for hungry customers. Vending staff are completely relieved from handling cash. At the end of the day, a last moment buy is that much easier to make, and some percentage of visitors will always simply not bother to refund their few remaining dollars.

CASHLESS RFID INSIDE VENUE
Cashless payment via an RFID device can reduce or eliminate use of cash in your venue, track purchases, speed up transactions, and enhance security for you and your audience. Since data is exchanged between the wristband and the reader at each transaction, the balance is known in two independent places – your server and the chip itself. An online connection for each point of sale adds real-time analysis to your arsenal of customer service tools. Automated top-up stations can be placed in the venue at strategic locations.
Benefits of cashless payments include:
- Real-time reporting
- No counting of tokens or cash.
- All products are listed in centralized database
- Attendees are literally in constant contact with your brand!
PROMOTIONS AND BRAND ACTIVATION
Promotions, giveaways, and other brand advancement during the event reaches a new level with RFID, simply because data is generated and available in a comprehensive and useful way. Cross-comparison of participation in various promotions is easily performed, and continued interaction via social networks is easily supported. Residual benefits, such as coupons or bonuses from event sponsors, can be incorporated.
REPORTING
Comprehensive reports for entry and re-entry, purchases, participation in promos, and restricted access areas can be obtained in real time. With demographic information available along with consumer behavior, you will have proof in hand to show current and potential sponsors what your event can do for them. Each member of your vending staff will have a designated scanner, so reporting is granular down to the individual employee.
HOW IT WORKS
An RFID (radio-frequency identification) wristband or card contains a memory chip with customer ticketing data and other information – like current balance for cashless payments. So starting right at the gate, the system provides value to event-goers, when their printed online tickets are exchanged for wristbands (or cards) and they can enter the event with much less waiting than usual. Each RFID wristband or tag has an antenna and chip. So when you scan your wristband to buy a T-shirt, the chip is powered up and an exchange of information is made – the chip sends identification and current balance, and the reader sends the price of the purchase to the chip. The balance is updated.
Entry points are coordinated through the central database in real time, but each entry scanner, if needed, can act independently, since all ticket information is uploaded to each scanner. During the event, any number of actions can be performed using the RFID device – entry to restricted areas, purchases, participation in promotions, etc. This information is all collected on local scanners and can be viewed in real time. You’ll see shortages of popular snacks or merchandise coming. And you’ll be tuned in to what attendees are doing like never before.
