Calendar-Based Timed Entry Ticketing for Events and Attractions

Why Your Ticketing Should Be Calendar-Based

Timed entry events can be a challenge to setup and manage. While platforms like Eventbrite and TicketSpice have a front-end calendar for ticket purchases, TicketSignup’s patent-pending MTE technology uses an efficient database to allow every step of timed entry ticketing setup, management, and purchase to be tied to a real calendar. Calendar-based timed entry means less time wasted on setup, easier changes mid-event, and more intuitive reporting.

Challenge: Manage Check-In at Multiple Attractions

Scaregrounds PDX needed to manage on-site traffic at three core attractions, as well as sideshows, to ensure every guests get access to each attraction once (and not more than once).

Solution: With TicketSignup, Scaregrounds set up their ticket options as bundles, with the three core attractions included in VIP and General Admission tickets and the All Access Pass including all attractions and side shows. On-site, each attraction used the free Tickets App configured for them to check in their specific attraction. For guests, their single QR confirmation code worked throughout the park; for staff, it was easy to track them at each attraction.

Challenge: Turn Wait Time in a Revenue Opportunity

The Haunted Forest wanted to eliminate queues and increase revenue by letting guests wait (and spend money) in their Graveyard area with food and drinks, without losing their place in line.

Solution: TicketSignup integrated with Waitwhile to offer virtual queuing. This meant that when guests checked in on-site, they were automatically added to a virtual queue. Then, they were free to wander the Graveyard, buying food and drinks and enjoying an accessible attraction until receiving an automated text notification that it’s their turn to enter the main attraction. More revenue, no wait.
