OmniTicket Network has installed the Overview Ticketing and Access Control solution at Stonehenge, an English Heritage site, for a trial run during 2011.  The installed system at this prehistoric monument is comprised of three complete ticket stations used to produce barcoded tickets that are then scanned at one of four wireless hand scanners to control access.  In addition, newly offered ruggedized hand-held wireless ticket sales stations are being evaluated for portable/mobile walk-about ticket sales. 

“It’s incredible to see one of the world’s oldest monuments successfully using the very latest in ticketing technology”, says John Davies, the Director of UK Operations for OmniTicket Network. 

To make sure the new system integrates smoothly with the existing Stonehenge operations, an interface has been put in place with the English Heritage’s management reporting package to allow data to be automatically uploaded to head office.

This summer OmniTicket Network provided the online ticketing solution for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s exhibition Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty. The exhibit was resounding success, and based on the intense interest of the public, the exhibition was extended for an additional week and the hours were.   

After the exhibit ended, the Museum officially announced that the exhibit attracted 661,509 visitors during its run from May 4 to August 7, placing it among the Museum's top 10 most visited exhibitions ever held at the Met in its 141-year history.
