“Even though this was our first try at utilizing RFID the Crowdpass team was fantastic and never made us feel like this was a new technology. Earl Scruggs Music Festival won Event of the Year from IBMA and Crowdpass played a huge part in upping our guests’ experience. The customer Service was impeccable and never left me without answers wich if you have ever done large scale events timing is everything and time so sort issues is precious so the level of support I could not be more appreciative of. In scaling Earl Scruggs Music Festival we look forward to utillizing Crowdpass to help us grow bigger and better than ever.”
