Fans Go Ape for NFC RFID at Monkey Week

Spanish event ticketing solution company Ticketea has launched a radio frequency identification system that it can build into its existing event-management solution for festivals that request the technology. The Near Field Communication (NFC) RFID-based system provides events with access control, while also enabling them to offer attendees cashless payments and links to social networks via an RFID-enabled wristband. Most recently, Ticketea provided the system to Monkey Week, a music festival that took place on Oct. 13-15 in El Puerto de Santa Maria, Spain.
