One complete festival platform, on web and mobile: sell tickets online and through a reseller network, take cashless payments on NFC wristbands — and put the whole festival in the attendee's pocket with a companion (web + iOS + Android) for line-ups, set-time reminders, maps, chat and finding your friends.
Each package is a clean superset of the one before it. Every price is before crediting the R80,000 already paid — the balance is shown under each.
Run a fully cashless, ticketed festival — no consumer app.
Adds the festival companion app on web + iOS + Android.
The full social festival experience the client asked for.
Every component of the Complete package. Essentials and Plus are subsets of this list — drop the companion app for Essentials, drop the social & chat lines for Plus.
