After we achieved a major milestone earlier this year, today, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve crossed an even bigger threshold: Wicket has now been deployed in six continents.
That’s right: from North America to South America, Europe to Africa, Asia to Australia, Wicket has powered frictionless, secure entry experiences worldwide. (Sorry, Antarctica, we haven’t convinced the penguins just yet.)
Trusted by 80+ Customers Worldwide
In just a year, Wicket has grown from a U.S.-focused solution into a global leader in biometric access control, serving more than 80 enterprise customers across sports, entertainment, live events, and enterprise access control.
Some highlights from the past year:
- Australia: The Geelong Cats became the first professional sports team in the Southern Hemisphere to implement Wicket, following in the footsteps of the Australian Open in ushering in a new era of fan access down under.
- Colleges: The University of Florida led the charge in demonstrating how Wicket can streamline stadium entry for college gameday, with other schools following suit this fall.
- Global Reach: The Salesforce Agentforce world tour took us to London, Bengaluru, and cities across the US, speeding up badge pickup for thousands of event attendees.
Why Scale Matters
For fans, guests, and operators, scale signals trust. Wicket has grown from a novel technology piloted at a handful of venues into the most widely deployed facial authentication platform in sports and live events globally. Leading sports teams and global industry leaders have thoroughly vetted Wicket’s privacy and data security stance, and have found it delivers on both privacy and performance. Our technology meets our customers’ exacting privacy standards and significantly enhances the event experience for their fans and customers.
These numbers don’t exist in a vacuum. While this global 5 million is the collective, it also represents:
- Minutes saved per guest, reducing lines and congestion
- Improved security with faster and more accurate decisions
- Better guest experiences that allow people to spend less time waiting and more time enjoying the event
Looking Ahead: Aggressive Global Expansion
Even as we celebrate this milestone, we’re not slowing down. Wicket is aggressively expanding across Europe, Australia, US colleges, arena sports, and conferences, with new deployments and partnerships set to be announced in the months ahead.
Our mission remains the same: to provide frictionless, secure, and scalable guest experiences that transform how people engage with live events—worldwide.
We’ve come a long way since hitting our first million entries, and we’ve now moved into defining the future of live event access on the global stage.
