Festival season is in full swing at WRSTBND as we kicked off our first year with Coachella & Stagecoach providing all Access Control, Box Office and Issuance systems, as well as a custom Guest List platform across both festivals.

We worked alongside @____cicada , @wdgnola , @vulkmade , @goodwoodnola , and the WRSTBND team to bring this design to life.
WRSTBND was proud to support DreamHack Dallas 2025, a weekend in May where gaming, cosplay, and tech collided in the heart of Texas.

Since 2020, WRSTBND has partnered with Buffalo Trace Distillery to modernize how guests register, check in, and move through one of the worldâs most award-winning distilleries.
Each year, +300,000 guests visit for tours, tastings, and exclusive events. As demand surged, Buffalo Trace needed a solution that could manage high volumes while still delivering a polished, high-end experience.
WRSTBND built a branded registration and guest management platform, including:
đ¸A virtual queue to reduce wait times
đ¸Real-time data capture to enhance sponsor value
đ¸A system designed to elevate the guest experience from the very first scan
While Buffalo Trace crafts the whiskey, we handle the logisticsâso every moment flows the way it should.

After Memorial Day, summer at the Jersey Shore is officially on.
Since 2021, weâve partnered with Belmar Beachâone of New Jerseyâs busiest seasonal destinationsâto modernize access and streamline payments for hundreds of thousands of visitors.
With 14 boardwalk entrances and millions in summer transactions, Belmar needed more than just a beach pass. They needed a system that could handle real volume, reduce manual work, and improve the guest experience.
WRSTBND replaced cash-only entry with a digital platform built for scaleâcredit card-based system, scannable QR codes, and real-time data across every entrance.
The results:
âď¸ 200,000â300,000 passes scanned
âď¸ Daily reconciliation time cut from hours to minutes
âď¸ Full visibility into access and revenue
