Our expertise
Wicket helps stadiums use facial authentication across the complete event journey, transforming a single opt-in identity into a secure and convenient credential for multiple venue touchpoints.
Fans can use facial authentication for ticket entry and payments, while staff, media, contractors and other accredited stakeholders can use the same technology for access to restricted areas.
By reducing reliance on physical credentials, mobile tickets and manual checks, Wicket can accelerate stadium entry, reduce queues and improve accountability across sensitive areas of the venue.
For ESSMA members, Wicket brings extensive hands-on experience in deploying biometric technology in major sports venues, providing practical insights into facial ticketing, access control, credentialing, payments and the implementation of privacy-first biometric experiences.
