Evolving secure contactless ticketing solutions
NFC-enabled mobile wallet passes provide a smarter way to enhance the visitor experience at sports events, concerts, theme parks and attractions. And our ‘just tap’ technology readers enable new interactions, sources of data and up-sell opportunities for venue operators.
NFC enabled wallet tickets provide significant benefits over QR codes, RFID cards and paper tickets traditionally used for sport arenas, theaters, amusement parks, cruise lines, and holiday resorts.
Fast & super-convenient
VTAP wallet readers auto-select the relevant NFC pass on a device the instant it comes in range, so gates and turnstiles can be opened with just a ‘tap’ of a phone or Apple Watch.
4x faster than QR-codes – there’s no standing around opening individual apps or phone-scrolling to find an optical code, and no need to present the phone’s screen for scanning – while avoiding glare and reflections.
Because our NFC wallet readers automatically find the relevant pass – there’s no problem with having any number of passes for different applications.
Mobile phones are always close-at-hand, so using them to open turnstiles and barriers is naturally easier than searching for physical tickets – which commonly get forgotten, lost, or damaged.
Highly secure authentication
Wallet pass data exchanged over NFC with VTAP readers is securely encrypted, leveraging the robust security architectures of Apple Wallet and Google Wallet.
Unlike QR codes, NFC passes can’t be copied through simple screen-grabs or photos.
Efficient & kinder to the environment
Immediate issuance via SMS, email or app, with easy online management. Avoiding the delays and costs incurred throughout the lifecycle of physical tickets – from printing and distribution, to administering forgotten, lost or damaged tickets.
Digital wallet tickets avoid the need for paper and plastics used in physical tickets – which impact the natural world from their production through to they’re disposal.
Additional engagement & revenue opportunities
Push notifications via wallet passes can keep users connected – delivering reminders or tailored messages that can also be triggered by the user’s location – including offers for in-venue purchases.
Operational improvements
Economical deployment & integration
VTAP easily replaces readers for legacy ticket-types in turnstiles, ticket kiosks and handheld devices – thanks to in-built RFID card reading functionality and QR/barcode code scanner emulation. VTAP readers can even operate gates and turnstiles directly in some applications, without the need for conventional additional door controller hardware. No dedicated drivers or development software tools required. VTAP readers are designed to be easy to configure and manage.
Industry standard connectivity
The VTAP reader range includes Wiegand and RS-485 connectivity options for gate and turnstile control.
Flexible form factors
VTAP readers are available in compact casings ideal for retrofitting, as well as PCB modules (with customizable aerials) for inclusion within turnstiles and other access control equipment. VTAP reader circuit boards are also available with a conformal coating for weatherproofing.
“VTAP readers are in use throughout many of Europe’s top football stadiums and have proven a delight to match-goers – significantly increasing turnstile throughput rates and allowing fans to spend more time enjoying stadium facilities and less time queuing.”
