Ticketcorner builds its own Corona database
People would love to attend events again—but only if safety measures are stringent enough. Ticketcorner now aims to address this issue with its own database.
Ticketcorner conducted a survey among its own customers, received 40,000 responses, and came to a clear conclusion: 83 percent of Swiss eventgoers miss events (Werbewoche.ch reported).
"Hope for the whole industry"
"I was surprised at the emotional value events have among the population," Ticketcorner's CEO told the NZZ on Sunday. "The need is there unabated. That gives hope for the whole industry."
At the same time, the public is well aware of the risk of corona infection at events and would only attend the event if appropriate safety precautions were taken.
Visitors are open to measures
The survey shows: Most measures would be supported by the visitors. Regular cleaning of the location is considered a good idea by 90 percent of respondents, and sufficient disinfection facilities (85 percent) and distance rules at the entrance (78 percent) also receive a lot of approval.
It is noteworthy that the option "Personalized tickets or specification of personal data" received the fourth most approval. Measures required for contact tracking. Accordingly, 73 percent would make corresponding concessions in terms of privacy protection in order to still be able to attend major events.
Ticketcorner knows who is at the events in the future
From October, the Federal Council will again allow events with more than 1000 visitors. With conditions. To implement these as efficiently and effectively as possible, Ticketcorner has developed its own tracing tool with database. Since ticket holders and ticket buyers are often not the same person in the event sector, visitors will in future have to verify their personal details via cell phone number and thus receive a personal QR code. If a Corona infection becomes known, the corresponding data will be passed on to the authorities. After 28 days, the data will be deleted in compliance with data protection regulations.
In addition, functions are being developed which take into account the spacing rules when booking and leave appropriate seats free between visitors.
Other results of the survey: Around half of the respondents would also agree that only those who have installed the federal government's tracing app would be admitted. As many as 48 percent of respondents would be in favor of mandatory masks. Gastronomic cutbacks received less approval: 35 percent could get along with pre-packaged food, only 27 percent with drinks - including beer - from vending machines.
