It’s not that they dislike cashless, they dislike complicated experiences. When implemented properly, cashless is simple and intuitive for attendees.
In practice, 85% of attendees top up only once or twice, and around 80% of top-ups are done online. This significantly reduces queues on site.
Think of it as a festival passport. Beyond simple transactions, it integrates access control (GA, VIP, staff), upselling opportunities, and partner activations. It transforms payments into a data-driven ecosystem, giving you the insights needed to understand and actively grow your revenue.
When implemented correctly, cashless can generate revenue rather than just represent a cost. Unlike traditional card terminals, which are just a cost, it can create additional income streams for organisers.
When properly deployed and communicated, cashless is simple to operate. Just like the London Tube, success relies on clear signage and communication. We provide the “wayfinding” templates and best practices to ensure your attendees feel confident from their first tap.
A PDQ can’t secure your income before the event. If you already sell tickets online, you know the value of pre-event cash flow. Online top-ups guarantee revenue regardless of weather or “no-shows,” providing a financial safety net that standard card readers simply can’t offer.
Our technology is designed for offline-first operation. Core features, including payments, continue to function even without a network connection.
That’s not an issue. More than half of top-ups typically happen before the event, and additional internet-enabled kiosks can be provided on site if needed.
When the overall experience is smooth and valuable, attendees always accept a small activation fee on the first top-up.
