Overview
What are stadium entry turnstiles?
Stadium and arena turnstiles are high-capacity entrance gates built to process thousands of ticket holders per hour while validating credentials in real time and supporting code-compliant emergency egress. They integrate with digital ticketing, count crowd flow lane by lane, and separate general admission from staff, vendor, and premium-suite access, turning chaotic ingress into orderly, measurable throughput.

What we solve
Challenges we solve for venues
Pre-event bottlenecks
Lanes process up to 60 fans per minute; a 10-lane bank clears 15,000+ people per hour, holding the line even during the pre-game rush.
Ticket fraud & counterfeits
Real-time validation against your ticketing database catches duplicates, transfers, and counterfeits at the gate instead of at the seat.
Emergency egress
Fail-safe drop-arm and barrier release supports IBC and NFPA 101 egress requirements, clearing lanes automatically on a fire-alarm signal.
Crowd-flow visibility
Live per-gate counts show exactly where queues are building so operations can redirect traffic and open lanes before they back up.
Weather & outdoor exposure
IP65-rated, stainless-steel turnstiles stand up to rain, snow, heat, and UV for open-air concourses and exposed gate lines.
Multiple credential types
Season, single-game, premium-suite, staff, and vendor credentials run on one system, each with its own access rules and re-entry logic.
Event-grade reliability when 50,000 arrive at once
When the whole crowd lands inside a 90-minute window there is no room for equipment failure. We manufacture, not resell or import, so quality is controlled at the source and lanes are built for high cycle counts, hard outdoor duty, and the integration depth venues require.
