The NFL Scores Big with Biometric Tech: Transforming the Fan Experience The NFL is embracing innovation! A recent webinar featuring industry leaders discussed how opt-in facial recognition is revolutionizing the game for fans. Say goodbye to long lines and frustration! The Tennessee Titans, a team known for its cautious approach to technology, recently implemented Express Entry system powered by Wicket at Nissan Stadium. This biometric system allows fans to quickly and securely enter the venue through designated lanes using facial recognition. Why the Change? "It's a common struggle," says Adam Nuse, Chief Revenue Officer for the Titans. "70,000 people want in at once- we need to keep them happy." Fan Control is Key: Jeffrey Josephson, Head of Sales at Wicket, emphasizes that fans are in complete control. They take their own photo, agree to the terms, and link their account- all with the option to opt-out anytime. This, combined with data ownership remaining with the team, builds trust. 👴📋Simplicity is Paramount: Reaching an average NFL fan, often over 50, requires a smooth onboarding process. "Email blasts with clear instructions" are key to demystify the technology, Josephson explains. 🚫Building Trust Through Experience: Once fans experience the benefits, trust grows. "It's fast, reliable, and secure," Josephson reiterates. 🎟Beyond Ticketing: The possibilities extend beyond entry. Wicket envisions biometric technology streamlining concessions and premium access, opening doors for new revenue streams. The NFL's embrace of biometrics is a win-win for both fans and teams. Faster entry, increased security, and potential new revenue streams paint a bright future for the fan experience! #NFL #Biometrics #FanExperience #Innovation
Open-air venues present event planners with a distinct set of challenges. Unlike traditional indoor spaces, golf courses, tennis venues, or even the famed Kentucky Derby must contend with unpredictable weather, crowd control complexities, and robust security measures. Today's sprawling complexes transform into vibrant hubs, boasting multiple courts or grandstands, premium guest tents, and enticing shopping and concession areas. Yet, taming the sea of passionate fans - eager for prime viewing spots, coveted merchandise, or delicious food - presents a logistical challenge. To learn about how Wicket technology empowers event organizers to maximize audience captivation, enhance security and improve revenue generation, read our latest blog here: https://hubs.ly/Q02DSnKZ0 #facialticketing #facialcredentialing #security #eventmanagement #premiumguestexperience
