Tickets And Credentials
To many festivalgoers, printed festival tickets are more than just a means of entry. Festival ticket stubs are wonderful collectibles. Like show flyers, posters, programs and other promotional merchandise, old tickets are colorful, fun and mark memorable moments in our life.
Credentials such as lanyards, badges, and wristbands keeps everyone in order, and your festival running smoothly. Tickets incorporating unique or artistic designs are not only a great way to add some personality to your event, but helps insure fans can’t make fake credentials (like this guy).

Signage
So you have a major event coming up. You’ve passed out flyers, you have posted on Facebook, and you’re selling out on Ticketmaster like crazy. However you’ve forgotten one thing. Signage. Do people clearly know how to get to your event? How about getting around your event? Have you ever been to a festival and you didn’t know even know where the bathroom was? Good signage is key to helping your attendees navigate your event, and provides additional branding opportunities.
