Festival weekend

Gates, stages, food trucks — and a crowd that keeps coming.

  • Festival-goers lounge on the lawn in front of an outdoor stage
  • Families queue at a black food truck at an outdoor street food festival
  • Guest holds up a QR code mobile ticket at the festival entrance gate
  • Group of friends laughing while served at an outdoor drinks bar
  • Friends sharing burgers and drinks on the grass at a festival
  • Carnival dancers in ruffled rainbow costumes gather for a street parade
  • Parents and daughter walk hand in hand across a sunny festival lawn
  • Close-up of a pink festival wristband being fastened at the entrance

The problem

What usually goes wrong

Fees that scale with the crowd

Per-ticket fees of $1.79 plus a percentage add up fast across a weekend of $20 tickets.

Vendors on paper

Food trucks and stalls managed in email, with a hand-drawn site plan nobody can read on a phone.

The gate at noon

Printed lists, a laptop on a folding table, and a queue that stretches to the parking lot.

What Exspedio does about it

Built for festivals

Day and weekend passes

A pass valid on chosen dates, a weekend bundle, kids free, VIP capped. Early-bird windows and promo codes for partners.

Vendor spots and applications

Food truck, craft stall, sponsor tent — each a booth type with a price and what it includes. Vendors apply, you approve, they pay.

A site map people can use

Stages, restrooms, first aid and every vendor on one map that works on a phone in the sun. Tap a stall to see who it is.

Check-in that moves

Scan QR codes from a phone at every gate. Each ticket scans once; the count is live for everyone on staff.

Staff with the right access

Volunteers get check-in only. Managers run vendors and the map. Owners see the money.

Your festival’s site

Hero image, lineup, schedule, sponsors, FAQ and tickets, in your colours, on your domain.

Every feature, in detail

At the door

Thousands through the gates, no scanners to rent.

QR check-in with Exspedio: a ticket scanned on a phone turns green, a second scan is caught, and a guest is found by name.

Questions from festivals organizers

$0.50 to Exspedio (2.5%) and about $0.88 to your card processor, $1.38 in total. No per-ticket surcharge on top.

Yes. Each ticket type can carry the dates it’s valid for, and the scanner refuses it on any other day.

The scanner needs a connection to confirm each ticket is unused, so bring a hotspot for a field with poor coverage. Scans are fast — one request each.

Also built for

Expos and trade shows

Draw the hall to scale, price every booth by type and size, and let exhibitors pick their spot from the map and pay for it — on a site that carries your brand and your domain.

Vendor fairs, craft fairs and markets

Conferences and summits

Sell early-bird, standard and VIP passes, bundle workshops and dinners into packages, sell sponsor tiers with their exhibit table — and run it all from a site that looks like yours, not ours.
