The Future of Mobile NFC Contactless Ticketing is Here

26.08.2020

At Fortress we believe that Mobile NFC Contactless Ticketing is the future of the fan experience across stadiums and arenas. Our NFC Solution, which integrates with iOS and Android, offers a secure and seamless method to enter and interact with venues while also helping to identify fans and creating digital membership programs.

 

Key features include:

  • Direct integration with existing ticketing systems, creating a seamless process for teams and fans to transition from contactless cards, paper tickets and less secure barcodes to NFC tickets and membership passes.
  • A versatile PASS EDITOR application that enables the design, creation and management of both single and season NFC passes.
  • NFC Member Passes are added just ONCE to a fan’s mobile wallet and will automatically update with their individualized and relevant game and seat information, saving the burden of always having to add new tickets every game.
  • NFC Passes encourage downloading the team’s app, but can be used to send notifications without it.
