Why festival producers switch
- Weekend, single-day, and VIP SKUs that oversell a field because inventory is split.
- Gate staff who cannot trust the scanner when cell service drops.
- Merch and parking sold as afterthoughts at a second checkout.
How festivals use Tixoola
Outdoor and street festivals reuse the same motions as venues—tiered passes, bundles, store lines, and scanning—tuned for multi-day schedules and high-volume doors. You pay per ticket, not for months of dark calendars.
Passes & days
- Single-day or multi-day passes with clear entitlements and upgrade paths.
- GA, VIP, and family packs with pricing windows that match your marketing beats.
- Capacity guardrails so you never oversell a field or stage footprint.
Stages & sessions
- Timed entries or stage-specific upsells when you need to balance crowds.
- Optional bundles that pair parking, shuttles, or merch credits with admission.
Merch & vendors
- Official merch with variants and pickup or ship options.
- Vendor or artist add-ons when your agreements allow digital pre-sales.
Door & field ops
- Fast QR scanning with offline tolerance for tricky connectivity.
- Multiple scan lanes, re-entry rules, and comp controls for production partners.
Crowd intelligence
- Sales velocity by day and tier so marketing can adjust campaigns mid-run.
- Settlement-friendly exports for partners and finance.
Example: three-day music festival
A promoter sells weekend passes, Friday-only GA, and VIP grove upgrades while moving official tees online before gates open.
- Launch weekend and single-day SKUs with inventory caps per day.
- Add VIP upgrades with separate scan tokens for the grove entrance.
- Bundle parking passes to reduce day-of cash handling.
- Run scanning pods at main gates plus VIP lanes tied to the same order record.
Built for promoters and field teams
Riley Stone
Festival Director • Riverbend Music Fest
VIP upgrades and merch pre-sales lived beside GA passes. Gate staff finally trusted the data on their scanners.
Fewer reconcile fights
Mateo Ruiz
Production Lead • Block Party Live
Multi-day passes with re-entry rules were painless. Ops could see sell-through by day without a data team.
Better mid-week pivots
Casey Nguyen
Merch Manager • Sunfield Weekender
Variant inventory online meant we printed the right run sizes. Pickup lines moved because orders were already paid.
Less waste, faster lines
