The newest layer of the platform

Experience Control.

Once someone’s through the gate, the selling usually stops. Experience Control is the layer that keeps it going: every upgrade, add-on, queue, and credit on the credential they already hold, managed from their phone in real time.

For the attendee

Everything on their own phone

Physical ticket or digital pass, it doesn’t matter. Every attendee can see and manage what’s available to them, and it applies to the credential already in their hand. No new app to download.

For operations

The low-hanging fruit, finally picked

Most events already sit on excess capacity and experiences they’d love to monetize but never had a clean way to. Experience Control plugs into the access control you already run. A new revenue touchpoint can be as simple as a scanner and a guard at a door you already control.

The toolkit

Five ways to turn arrival into revenue.

Each one runs on the same credential, access, and payment rails, so you see, shape, and monetize the whole on-site flow from one place. Try them.

01 · Real-time upgrades

Move up a tier, on-site, from the phone.

Attendees upgrade the ticket they’re holding: the system checks what they have, charges the difference, and updates their access the moment they pay, applied to the band already on their wrist. Operations open and close upgrade paths and move price with demand: stop selling VIP when it’s nearly full; drop the price when it’s empty and see what happens.

02 · Add-on purchases

Sell the experience, not just the ticket.

Offer exclusive on-site experiences that weren’t part of the original ticket, and adjust price and inventory on the fly as demand moves. The list is yours and effectively limitless: fast passes, pit access, locker rentals, artist signings, whatever the moment calls for.

03 · Parking

Parking, on the same system as everything else.

Validate, redeem, and sell parking from one device. The same handheld that checks a suite ticket’s included parking sells a spot to the car behind it, and takes the walk-up after that. No fumbling between a parking system, the box office, and a separate card reader at the gate.

04 · Virtual queue

A queue that lives on the phone, not the pavement.

Attendees join high-demand experiences through the same scan-and-browse flow, then wait in a free line or pay to skip it. Free for flow management, paid for premium access. Your call. Either way, operations finally get real-time visibility into demand instead of guessing at a crowd.

Free queue keeps the experience flowing. Paid skips surface real demand (and a new revenue line) with zero crowd at the gate.

05 · Loaded value

Load value onto any credential, and watch it spend.

Bundle F&B, merch, or experience credit directly onto a credential, funded by the event or a sponsor, and let attendees spend it down with a tap. VIP credit auto-loads at purchase; sponsors fund per-attendee credit scoped to their zone; multi-day passes carry a daily allocation, and every redemption reports back.

How it ships

We stand it up. We run it. You keep the revenue.

In the short term, WRSTBND hosts and manages the whole thing (mobile web, nothing for anyone to download), slotting into the on-site setup you already have. Longer term, we see Experience Control living natively inside the AXS app, for reach across the whole ecosystem.

Experience Control is new (we haven’t deployed it commercially yet), so the shape is flexible. Let’s map the upgrades, add-ons, and credits that fit your event, and structure the economics together.
