The Challenge: The Multi-Attraction Maze: Managing Throughput at Scale

Scaregrounds PDX faced a logistical scare: managing guest flow across three main haunt attractions, along with additional sideshows. They needed to ensure every “victim” cold access each attraction exactly once without messy manual tracking or duplicate enties.

The Solution: Using TicketSignup’s Ticket Bundles, Scaregrounds created tiered passes (General Admission, VIP, and All-Access) that automatically grouped specific attractions. On-site, each attraction was equipped with the free Tickets App, configured for that attraction. Staff at each entranc ould scan a guest’s single ticket QR code, which would validate for that specific attraction exactly once. The result? Visibility into the throughput for each attration and a seamless journet for guests across the entire park.

The Challenge: Turning Soul-Sucking Queues Into Lively Midway Revenue

The Haunted Forest wanted to eliminate their longest lines for good. They knew that every minute a guest spent standing in a physical queue was a minute they weren’t spedning money on snacks, merch, or photo-ops in the “Graveyard” midway.

The Solution: By integrating TicketSignup with Virtual Queuing (from Waitwhile), The Haunted Forest transformed their event flow. Upon arrival guests were checked in and “digitally queued”. Instead of a stagnant line, guests were free to roam the Graveyard, increasing per-head spend on food, drinks, and entertainment while they awaited an automated text notification. Alternatively, guests could upgrade (and pay more) to skip the (digital) line. More revenue, no wait.

Haunt Operators Love TicketSignup

“I don’t know of one person that complained about waiting this year.Everything is so user-friendly.[TicketSignup has] really sharp people — man, I tell you, they did a great job. Great job for us.”

Rob Effington, Haunted Forest Utah

“The point of having a good ticketing system is to be seamless and connected to them throughout the whole event cycle. It was important to us that our branding be highly professional, including our website and emails. TicketSignup makes ticketing simpler so we can focus on delivering the best possible experience to as many people as possible.”

Andy Reiner, Haunted Stage Stop

“I love the website feature – it makes everything so much easier to have the website, tickets, and email in one place.”

“My favorite feature – well it’s two. The self-serve ticket transfer and the TicketSignup CheckIn App. Those two things were definite benefits for us. I would add that one of the things I really appreciate is the attention to speed and reliability that TicketSignup has.”
