Case Study: Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival streamlines check-in and ticket sales with Brushfire

Guests spent less time waiting in lines and more time enjoying the event with rapid check-ins and quick walk-up ticket sales

The Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival, an event run by the Richmond Hill-Bryan County Chamber of Commerce, needed to streamline its entry process for thousands of attendees. Their challenge was to reduce time spent waiting in lines for check-in and walk-up ticket sales to improve the guest experience. They partnered with Brushfire for their event ticketing and check-in services.

Brushfire provided a platform that enabled a small team of volunteers to manage over 22,000 attendees across a three-day event. The solution facilitated efficient check-in for pre-sales and on-site Square-powered ticket purchases. Brushfire also centralized cashless sales for beverages and carnival armbands. This resulted in over $100,000 in beverage sales and contributed to the event's overall revenue increasing by 22%.
