They are also alcohol and drug-free, which means you can avoid the dangers and penalties of underage drinking and substance abuse.

This can save you time and hassle by eliminating the need to queue up for ATMs or worry about losing or damaging your money or cards. It can also help you manage your budget and track your spending history, which can prevent you from overspending or getting into debt.

Online ticketing and registration:

We used crowdflo to sell tickets and merchandise online and to register our guests for wristbands.

This made our wristbands more attractive and unique, and also helped us build our brand awareness and loyalty.

Identification and access control:

We used crowdflo to verify our guests’ identity and age and to grant them access to our venue and activities. Crowdflo also enabled us to monitor and control the capacity and flow of our guests and to prevent unauthorised entry and fraud.
