I had my first contact with cashless systems on June 29th, 2023. I had never been to a festival. I didn’t know what a top-up was. Or even a token! Nearly 1 year later, I’ve delivered cashless systems in 4 different festivals. Countless festival-goers have enjoyed a smoother and more efficient experience thanks to our cashless solutions I love working on innovative solutions and sharing insights. And I'm humbled to know that people appreciate the improved experiences at festivals thanks to our delivery cashless systems. A big shoutout to the Cashless Delivery Team at IDASFEST for their dedication and hard work: #1 in industry adoption #1 in enhancing festival experiences If you're running festivals or considering the transition to cashless systems, here's some simple advice: Just keep innovating. Also, search for people who can help you improve your experience. They can take on the heavy lifting and assist you in making decisions based on festival flow. You'll never regret leveraging data to make a positive impact!

🎶 🚍 Exciting news for transit! This summer, Masabi's innovative ticketing technology is powering an integrated ticketing pilot program for LA Metro and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association for the 2024 Hollywood Bowl summer season. Concert-goers can now buy their transit tickets along with their event tickets, making it easier to choose public transit. For more than 70 Hollywood Bowl shows this summer, Metro will provide QR codes powered by Masabi as the digital transit pass for attendees who bundle their concert ticket with a transit pass. Masabi delivered this solution in just two weeks, showing how quickly and efficiently we can deploy our technology. This seamless integration helps reduce traffic congestion and the need for parking, making the concert experience better by eliminating the stress of driving. Imagine the benefits of this feature for concerts and big events across the country. By making public transit the convenient choice, we can improve traffic flow, reduce parking demands, and offer a stress-free travel experience for event attendees everywhere. If you're interested in implementing this in your city, contact us to get a demo. More information about our launch with LA Metro can be found in the comments section.

The hoopla surrounding Live Nation/Ticketmaster’s business practices has raised interest in monopolistic practices affecting ticket prices. Since the company acquired Ticketmaster in 2010, Live Nation has set about building a business that controls nearly every layer of the live event lifecycle, from artist management to venue operations and ticketing, attaching numerous additional costs, such as “service fees” and “convenience fees”, to its ticketing platform along the way. While concerts constitute the bulk of the company’s revenue, they are far from its most profitable segment. Last year, the company reported just a 2% adjusted operating profit margin in its concerts division, while ticketing made a whopping 38%, and ads and sponsorships managed 62%. The concert division often relies on other parts of the business to help fund it, a lifeline it would lose if the DOJ does manage to split the company up.

Their offerings were limited without diverse, experiential add-ons 2. They were underutilizing revenue streams from upgraded experiences like open bars and afterparties, missing out on significant additional profit With Jampack, Reggae Rise Up gave their fans more--they offered curated experience packages for fans in their 2023 Vegas and Florida festivals.
