NFC Wallet for theme parks
Theme parks, gaming arcades and family entertainment centres are using NFC digital tickets and stored value payment cards in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet to help create the ultimate frictionless visitor experience.
Why is the theme park visitor experience better with NFC Wallet?
Frictionless experience
NFC tickets and passes work just like Apple Pay or Google Pay. Visitors simply tap their smartphone or Apple Watch on a reader for super-fast access, without having to search for an app or QR code or wait for and wear a costly wristband.
Improve operations
Mobile wallet tickets avoid the costs and delays incurred with managing physical RFID wristbands. NFC Wallet eliminates ticket sharing fraud with QR codes or barcodes and reduces queues at peak times. NFC is 4x faster than QR codes.
Engage visitors
Using NFC gives venue operators greater strategic control over all on-site visitor touchpoints, allowing venue management systems to collect real time data and insights, driving up visitor engagement, satisfaction & in-venue spend.
What else can you do with NFC Wallet at visitor attractions?
NFC Wallet passes can enhance the overall visitor experience beyond frictionless ‘just tap’ ticket access into the venue.
Virtual queues
Simply tap a reader to join a queue. NFC Wallet notifications can let visitors know when they need to return to the line. Less time in queues means more time enjoying everything on offer and creates greater secondary revenues.
Cashless payment
NFC-enabled wallet passes can support stored value payment for greater control over in-venue spend. Guests simply top-up credit through an app or at a kiosk and then tap to play a game or buy refreshments from a vending machine.
Pre-ordering
Visitors avoid the queues by pre-booking tables, drinks or meals by tapping on an interaction point. Wallet notifications can provide timely reminders when the order is ready. Visitors simply tap a reader to pick-up an order.
