Ticketing

The basis of the CORE ticketing system is to provide a variety of ticketing methods, sales channels, and fulfillment options in order to make the ticketing experience as seamless as possible for the guest. At the same time, the CORE ticketing system is flexible with regard to pricing, bundling of services and goods, and marketing promotions, and allows for easy configuration by park management. The system is real-time and networked, such that tickets purchased through any channel can immediately be redeemed at any ticketing area, or directly at any admission gate.

Major Ticketing features include:

•Segmentation of tickets into unlimited reporting category types and general ledger accounts.

Admission and Access Control

The object of the CORE admission and gating system is to continue the seamless guest experience from ticketing into the park, and to provide secure access controls and real-time reporting on attendance and “in park” guest count for park management.

Major Admission and Access Control features include:

•Scanning of ticket, wristband, print-at-home, voucher, mobile phone (Q1 2010) or other entry credential at turnstile for verification of valid entry.
•Scan can be done by guest (scanner mounted on turnstile) with automatic turnstile unlock and audio confirmation upon valid scan.
•Scan can be done by park attendant (wireless handheld scanner) with turnstile unlock and audio confirmation upon valid scan.
•In a non-turnstile environment (handicapped entry for example), scan by attendant causes the CORE “virtual turnstile” to light up and audio confirmation upon valid scan.
•Invalid tickets or credentials will not unlock the turnstile and emit “bad” audio sound, with display message to guest and operator as to the reason for rejection.
•Real-time reporting of admissions, subtotaled by hour or time increment of park’s choice.
•Exit areas can be equipped with the same devices as admissions, to count guest exits from the park and thereby provide real-time accurate “in park” guest counts.
•Exit devices can apply a re-entry token to the guest credential.
•Rain-out or emergency park closures can automatically apply a return credential or other offer for a future visit, at the exit devices/turnstiles.
•Access control at rides and attractions is an optional feature used to control access based on valid ticket, or height restrictions.
•Full reporting suite with export to Excel, .csv, other file formats.

Cashless Environment

The CORE system can provide a complete cashless spending system for your park, allowing your guests to place funds on their accounts. The funds are accessed by card, wristband, or cell phone, and provide your guests with a secure and efficient way to pay for products and services throughout the park.

Major features of the CORE cashless spending system include:

•Initial funding and recharge of the guest account at any Ticketing POS, at an automated Kiosk, or Online.
