Backstage areas bring together artists, production staff, technicians, guests and suppliers with different needs. A QR credential gives each person the right access, at the right place and time, without relying on printed lists.

At a festival, a generic wristband or printed list is not enough to protect dressing rooms, stages and technical areas. A system of QR credentials for artists and backstage turns production planning into verifiable permissions.

  • Artists, managers, technicians and guests identified

  • Different permissions by zone and time window

  • Real-time creation, changes and revocation

  • Validation and incident logs

1. Centralise information before setup

Production teams can import artists, managers, technicians and guests, assign an owner and collect only the necessary data. Duplicates and incomplete credentials are found before doors open.

2. Create permissions by role, zone and time

Not every credential should open every area. A profile combines stage, dressing rooms, catering, loading bay or parking with a time window linked to soundcheck, performance and load-out.

3. Issue and collect credentials without queues

A credential can be sent to a phone or printed at a kiosk or staffed desk. Identity is checked once, and a replacement invalidates the previous code to prevent simultaneous use.

4. Validate every sensitive checkpoint

Mobile or fixed readers show a clear result and record the access. Staff can see whether a QR belongs to the zone, is within its time window or needs review without checking separate lists.

5. Coordinate guests and hospitality

Guests, drivers and touring crews can be linked to the artist, with different rights for catering, transport or rest areas. Services can be validated without paper vouchers.

6. Handle changes and incidents in real time

A technician replacement, an extra guest or a schedule change is updated by production. Security receives the current permission and every intervention remains traceable.

7. Review the operation after the festival

Validation data reveals arrival peaks, zone usage, uncollected credentials and incidents. Woolando connects registration, kiosks, POS and QR control to coordinate backstage operations in one platform.
