Yesterday we addressed the rollout of RFID-enabled ticketing at Disney World. Today, RFID access control and cashless payment systems provider Intellitix says it activated more than one million RFID-enabled wrist bands at concerts in North America this summer.

Concert sites included Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Austin City Limits, Electric Zoo, Moogfest and Le Festival d’été de Québec. The company’s RFID access control systems securely sealed the festival sites, radically reduced lines to enter the venue, and eliminated ticket fraud.

The market for RFID-enabled concert tickets is huge. According to published reports, 38 million people attended concerts in North America alone in 2010.

“We gained an impressive list of festival clients in North America this year,” says Intellitix’s Serge Grimaux. “We will continue to grow the Intellitix platform globally to answer the needs of the festival communities, enhance the patrons’ experience and be a generator of new sources of income.”

According to Intellitix, its custom built portals can validate over 2,000 RFID devices per hour, drastically reducing wait times for concert goers and allowing them to spend more time inside the venue, which can lead to increased revenues for concert operators in the form of greater concession sales.
