New hi-tech ticket system makes going to the races easier
Visitors to Chester Racecourse can now store their race-day tickets on their phones, just like boarding passes for airline flights, which means you just tap your phone at the gate, find the ticket in your digital wallet and you're in. This upgrade is powered by HID, a Cardiff-based company, and is based on its Event Management Platform, in combination with handheld scanners used at the gates. Gareth Simpson, head of racecourse operations at Chester Race Company, said: 'Race day starts the moment our guests arrive, so making entry simple is a top priority. "With this new system, which works on any iOS or Android devices, everything from getting your ticket to getting through the gate is faster and more convenient. We're the first major sports venue in the UK to adopt this kind of end-to-end solution provided by HID.'
