The Story

01.

The Client

The Chandler Ostrich Festival in Arizona is a community favorite, bringing together over 250,000 people for live music, rides, amazing food, and family fun. With so much happening, they needed a partner to help simplify access, process payments, and keep things running smoothly.

02.

The Challenge

The Ostrich Festival was looking for a system to manage entry for thousands of guests, vendors, and staff across multiple access points. They needed a partner who could handle all wristbands, provide real-time tracking, and process millions of dollars in transactions while ensuring operations stayed organized and efficient.

The Results

WRSTBND stepped in with a solution that made it all work. From managing 120,000 wristbands to processing 300,000 scans across the festival, we kept everything secure and running without interruptions. With real-time tracking and user-friendly tech, the team delivered a well-executed, safe experience for everyone.
