Hellfest

200,000 festivalgoers over 3 days.

With over 70,000 fes­ti­val­go­ers attend­ing each day, Hellfest trust­ed Weezevent to run its cash­less pay­ment sys­tem and pro­vide an access con­trol solu­tion for the gen­er­al pub­lic and VIPs!

1,500 scans per hour per queue.

Each fes­ti­val­go­er with a wrist­band was able to top-up their account online to avoid any queues on site, alter­na­tive­ly there were top-up kiosks at the fes­ti­val. This wrist­band also enabled the fes­ti­val­go­er to access the fes­ti­val, sim­ply by scan­ning the chip inside the wrist­band at one of the Access Box kiosks. Check­ing-in only took a few sec­onds.

1,400 devices on the ground.

Spread across 50 acres, the fes­ti­val required a sol­id and reli­able tech solu­tion. The 4,000 event staff start­ed using the devices imme­di­ate­ly to accept cash­less pay­ments, to take top-ups at kiosks and scan tick­ets or wrist­bands. Deploy­ment and train­ing was quick and effi­cient thanks to the Weezevent team.

400,000 litres of beer consumed.

The huge amount of beer con­sumed required an opti­mised man­age­ment sys­tem to con­trol of the flow of peo­ple at bars and in the food court. Sim­pli­fied pay­ments through our cash­less sys­tem enabled fes­ti­val­go­ers to spend more time at the fes­ti­val and less time in queues whilst ben­e­fit­ing from a secure pay­ment sys­tem. Mean­while, the teams of vol­un­teers had a sim­ple and quick soft­ware solu­tion that allowed them to take orders direct­ly on the devices.

Sim­i­lar­ly, at kiosks, pay­ment ter­mi­nals con­nect­ed to our cash­less sys­tem increased the speed and safe­ty of trans­ac­tions whilst allow­ing for easy book­keep­ing.
