Case Study: Annual San Diego Mac n’ Cheese Fest streamlines guest check-in with Purplepass ticketing

A Ticketing Solution for Food and Taste Festivals

The Annual San Diego Mac n' Cheese Fest faced a significant challenge managing the high volume of attendees eager to enter their popular food event. The festival needed an efficient way to track guests in real-time and handle check-in smoothly for over 2,300 people. They turned to the vendor, Purplepass, for a solution utilizing its box office terminals with connected scanners.

Purplepass provided trained staff and specialized scanners, which made the lines move swiftly and handled all aspects of check-in and ticketing. This allowed the event coordinators to focus on the festival and their customers rather than gate operations. The solution successfully managed the large crowd, and the event coordinator cited Purplepass as a total asset to their operation, noting they look forward to working with them every year.
