FOR FANS & PREMIUM GUESTS
Transform how students, fans, and alumni experience gameday with frictionless interactions that keep them focused on what matters.
Easily manage gameday rushes with facial ticketing—which can handle up to 40 individuals per minute—when students and fans link their ticket to their face for fast, secure entry.
Fans and guests can link their face to their preferred payment method, eliminating the need for credit cards or phones, and reducing wait times at concessions.
Fans can connect their IDs (proof of age) and payment method to their face for age-restricted purchases, eliminating the need for manual ID checks, reducing wait times, and increasing accuracy.
Deliver a premium, frictionless experience for high-value guests with fast and secure access across suites, clubs, and other exclusive hospitality areas.
FOR TEAMS & Staff
Reduce your operational load, improve credentialing visibility across all venues, and gain new insights that refine decision-making.
Replace manual credential checks, wristbands, and secondary scans with fast, automated facial authentication, ensuring only authorized personnel enter restricted areas.
Connect permissions directly to an individual’s face for secure, time-boxed access across facilities and secure areas, including locker rooms, tunnels, and staff-only areas.
Prevent ticket sharing and misuse by tying each ticket to a single individual, ensuring student tickets are used as intended.
Capture attendance and engagement data across students, fans, and premium guests, helping you better understand long-term behavior to strengthen the pipeline from student fans to future alumni and donors.

Guests can enroll in multiple ways:
Enrollment takes less than a minute, and on-screen instructions guide users through the process.
