Press Releases

Boyertown, PA (January 2008) – Gateway Ticketing Systems, the world leader in high-speed admission control and ticketing software for the attraction, amusement, and intercity bus transportation industries announces a plug-and-play Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) solution designed to meet the rapidly growing demand for cashless transactions.

With a reputation as a complete ticketing solution provider in the industries it serves, Gateway offers the ability to provide cashless transactions at water parks, amusement parks and attractions. Guest benefits include increased transaction speed, enhanced convenience, ease of use, and an improved customer experience.

Gateway’s RFID interface works seamlessly with products such as RFID wristbands. Smart Band® an RFID wristband developed by Precision Dynamics Corporation, offers guests a convenient, hassle-free method to make purchases without having to use a wallet. RFID is secure, easy to use, and helps to encourage increased in-park spending. “PDC is happy to be partnering with such a reputable company as Gateway Ticketing Systems,” says Robin Barber, Vice President for PDC. “This partnership will enable us to expand to broader markets and present custom, quality RFID solutions to more businesses.”

The wristbands are designed to be a replacement for cash in the park. Guests can purchase and charge the wristbands at any Galaxy Point of Sale station in the park, use it for purchases of items like food, beverages and souvenirs, then recharge the wristband when the balance is depleted.

Michael Andre, President of Gateway Ticketing Systems said, “One of our primary goals at Gateway is to create an easy, seamless guest experience. By doing that, we help our customers build a positive relationship with their guests, and that translates into repeat business for them. Our RFID product helps us achieve the goal of an optimized guest experience,” he said.

Galaxy’s RFID technology provides an advantage above competitor products by offering a turn-key solution that integrates seamlessly into customers' existing point of sale infrastructure.

Gateway Ticketing Systems Inc., with headquarters in Boyertown, PA, has been developing ticketing software solutions and providing service and support for Point of Sale and ticketing systems worldwide for 20 years. “We intend to remain on the cutting edge of the industry, so we’re always looking for technology like RFID that will help us do what we do even better.”
