Why consider Zone Ex?
A whole two thirds of your audience’s time on event day is spent outside of your venue or event. If their journey to and from your event is less than enjoyable, it will be the only thing they remember from their experience.
How often have we heard someone say they enjoyed an event but “getting there/home was a nightmare”?
There are many opportunities to influence your audience’s experience from offering them a resistance free arrival and departure to inspiring moments of delight through brand activations or entertainment.
Your audience spend more time arriving and departing your event
than at your event
Streamline.
Our audience’s event experience begins
the moment they leave their home.
Through understanding their transport modes of choice, we can provide a level of service to match. By considering how our audience arrive and depart means we can put systems in place to support getting them from the last transport hub to the entrance and prepare them for search and ticket validation process.
If they arrive to the entrance gates in an organised and prepared manner, they can be processed with ease, reducing the risk of long and disorderly queues resulting in
unhappy crowds.
Reduce risk,
Improve safety.
The safety risk to the crowd is higher outside of the venue as there is far less control and no access restrictions. The space is dynamic as there are private vehicles and buses on the roads, pedestrians mixing in with your crowd, businesses operating and residents going about their day.
If we can focus on informing our audience and creating order in our design and management as they arrive to the event, processing them through ticketing and search will become much smoother and easier for
everyone involved.
Consider
legal duties.
In the UK, under Section 3 of the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, it is the duty of the employer to keep those who are not their employees safe as reasonably practicable. There is also the Occupier’s Liability Act 1957 for landowners and those who have lands agreements in place.
In addition, Martyn’s Law on counter terrorism is impending, and while we don’t yet know what is required, it’s important we do our best to keep our audience safe to the best of our abilities as they arrive and depart our event.
