Case Study: Hosting a multi day event
Learn how TicketsFarm successfully facilitated ticketing for a massive festival that spanned 9 consecutive days.
1. Bulk Invites Made Easy: Uploading a CSV of 8000 Users
Handling thousands of guests manually is an administrative nightmare. Using TicketsFarm, the event admins seamlessly uploaded a single CSV list containing 8000 users, complete with their respective emails and WhatsApp phone numbers. In just a few clicks, invitations were processed and dispatched all at once without any latency, cutting down pre-event administrative hours exponentially.
2. Simplicity for Guests: Using Only 1 QR Code
Confusion at gates often happens when users have to dig through their phones for different tickets on varying days. Here, guests were issued only 1 master QR code when they registered. This single QR operated dynamically, functioning as their universal access pass for all 9 days. It minimized guest anxiety and kept the check-in process consistently smooth.
3. Coordinating Multiple Entries and Managers
A festival of this magnitude requires multiple entry gates. The organizer set up separate validation zones equipped with local managers simultaneously stationed at various gate endpoints. With TicketsFarm, every manager effortlessly synced to the core database, guaranteeing rapid moving queues regardless of which entryway a guest decided to utilize.
4. Auto-Renewing Daily QR Scans
Preventing ticket abuse while enabling multi-day use is a delicate balance. The solution was an automatic renewal protocol. Once a guest's QR code was successfully scanned for entry on Day 1, it became completely void for that day preventing duplication. Precisely at midnight, the ticket's state automatically renewed, allowing successful scanning for the following day's event.
5. Robust Reporting & Analytics
Data drives improvement. The administrative dashboard provided real-time robust reporting ensuring total visibility into the festival's foot traffic. The organizer had instant access to critical metrics:
- Gate Specific Tracking: Exactly which guest entered from which designated gate.
- Entrance Timestamps: Precise times of entry to determine peak traffic hours.
- Exit Timestamps: Monitoring exactly when users departed the premises.
- Day-Wise Breakup: A comparative look into attendance drops or spikes across the 9 days.
- Category Segmentation: Grouping scans by VIP, General, or Staff classifications.
- Delivery Statistics: Real-time delivery and bounce reports from the initial Email and WhatsApp ticket dispatches.
6. Broadcasting Important Instructions via Email
Communicating regulations to 8000 guests pre-event usually poses a major hurdle. However, the admin leveraged the centralized contact list to reliably dispatch an email broadcast to all ticketed attendees. The message included explicit details regarding venue locations, a code of conduct covering dos and don'ts, right into their inboxes immediately prior to the gates opening.
