Case Study: Arizona Wine Events and Willcox Wine Country improve wine festival safety and ticketing with Bandwango

Arizona Wine Events and Willcox Wine Country turn 125,000 attendees into safer tastings with Bandwango wristbands

Arizona Wine Events and Willcox Wine Country, led by Mike Pigford, faced challenges with their previous event ticketing provider, Eventbrite, due to high fees and poor customer service. They sought a new ticketing solution that was more cost-effective for both themselves and their customers. Additionally, they needed to move away from an inefficient paper ticket system for wine tastings and find a better way to track consumption for safety and compliance at their festivals. They partnered with Bandwango to address these issues.

Bandwango implemented its new wristband event ticketing platform, which digitized the tasting redemption process. This solution eliminated lost paper tickets, provided accurate tracking of redemptions for wineries, and offered valuable opt-in email data. Crucially, the platform gave the organizers the ability to monitor individual alcohol consumption in real-time, greatly enhancing safety. Bandwango's solution saved the customer money, improved the experience for attendees and vendors, and introduced critical safety features.
