Festival & Event RFID Wristbands
Queues at the gate and cash at the bar are the two things an event cannot afford. RFID wristbands replace both with a tap, and give you attendance and spend data the same evening.

Gate throughput and access tiers
A tap validates faster than any scan of a printed ticket, and access tiers — general, VIP, artist, crew, production — are encoded into the chip rather than printed on a colour band that can be swapped.
Re-entry control and lost-wristband deactivation are handled in your system; the wristband is simply the credential it reads.
Cashless payment and data
Linking a balance or payment token to the chip removes cash handling from bars and merchandise, shortens service time and gives you per-hour spend and footfall data across the site.
Woven fabric bands with a one-time lock stay on for multi-day events; recycled paper suits single-day entry.
Frequently asked questions
+Can wristbands be encoded per access tier before delivery?
Yes. We deliver them pre-encoded and physically sorted by tier, so accreditation does not have to program them on site.
+Which chip should an event use?
DESFire for cashless payment where security matters, MIFARE Classic or NTAG for access-only events, and UHF where you need reads at distance for crowd flow.
+How far ahead should we order?
Plan for artwork approval plus production and shipping; sharing your event date early lets us schedule around it and hold buffer stock.
