Long queues, frustrated guests, and operational bottlenecks can quickly turn a day of fun at an amusement park into a logistical nightmare. At Expian, we understand that the guest experience starts the moment they purchase their ticket. That’s why our amusement park ticketing software is designed to eliminate long wait times, streamline entry processes, and provide a frictionless journey from booking to on-site experiences.
The Challenge: Traditional Ticketing Limitations
For years, amusement parks have relied on outdated ticketing methods that often create inefficiencies. Guests have had to deal with long lines at ticket booths, cumbersome paper tickets that can be lost or damaged, and limited flexibility when it comes to upgrading or modifying their experiences. Meanwhile, park operators have struggled with manual entry processes, ticket fraud, and a lack of data-driven insights into guest behaviours.
These challenges demand a smarter solution—one that modernises ticketing and enhances both guest satisfaction and operational efficiency. That’s where our amusement park ticketing software comes in.
The Expian Difference: Digital Ticketing for a Seamless Experience
At Expian, we take a guest-first approach to ticketing. Our advanced software allows amusement parks to transition from traditional paper-based admissions to a fully digital, automated system. Here’s how we make it happen:
1. Fast & Hassle-Free Entry
No one enjoys waiting in line. Our ticketing software enables guests to purchase and store their tickets digitally, whether through their smartphones or a membership portal. Upon arrival, they can simply scan their QR code or RFID-enabled ticket at an entry kiosk or handheld scanner, allowing for instant verification and seamless entry.
2. Multiple Ticketing Options & Upsells
Expian isn’t just about getting guests through the gate; we also help maximise revenue opportunities. Parks can easily set up unlimited ticket types, including:
• General admission tickets
• Memberships and season passes
• VIP and fast-track passes
• Time-specific tickets for high-demand attractions
• Additional experiences such as animal encounters, premium seating, or behind-the-scenes tours
Our system dynamically recommends relevant add-ons during the checkout process, ensuring guests can customise their visit and parks can drive additional revenue.
3. Enhanced Customer Service with Mobile Devices
Our portable handheld devices empower park staff to provide exceptional service at every touchpoint. Whether at the entrance, inside the park, or at an exclusive attraction entry, staff can:
• Scan and validate tickets instantly
• Manage guest queries on the go
• Offer real-time upgrades and upsells
• Resolve ticketing issues efficiently
This flexibility ensures guests receive seamless support wherever they are in the park.
4. Smart Capacity & Yield Management
Avoiding overcrowding is crucial to maintaining a positive guest experience. Expian’s software allows parks to set capping and allocation rules, ensuring that visitor numbers remain manageable and that guests enjoy a comfortable experience. Additionally, our pricing rules and promotions enable dynamic pricing strategies to optimise revenue based on demand.
5. Cross-Selling Beyond the Park Gates
Expian’s ticketing platform extends beyond just amusement park entry. Operators can seamlessly integrate third-party experiences such as:
• Concerts and special events
• Camping and accommodation options
• Partnered dining and hospitality packages
• Transportation add-ons
By incorporating these additional offerings into the ticketing journey, parks can provide guests with a more comprehensive and enjoyable experience while unlocking new revenue streams.
