WiFi for arenas, concert halls and live-music venues

The ticket tells you who paid. Your WiFi tells you who came.

One person books four tickets and you only ever hear from them. Purple turns the WiFi in your arena, hall or club into a branded sign-in moment, so every fan in the room becomes consented data you can sell the next show to, with sponsor inventory and a secure network for the crew on the same platform.

  • Consented fan data for your CRM
  • Sponsor-ready sign-in moments
  • 400+ data connectors
  • Runs on the access points you own

The gap

You fill the room every night, then lose most of it at the doors

Ticketing data stops at the person who paid. The friends they brought, the walk-up crowd and the fans who came for one act on a three-band bill leave without a trace in your CRM. Here is where that shows up.

A typical venue today

  • One ticket buyer on file for a group of four, and nothing on the other three
  • Sponsors paying for signage with no numbers to show them at renewal
  • Bar and merch feedback that arrives as a complaint after the show
  • Box office, bar tills and production kit sharing one password with the crew

With Purple

  • Every fan who signs in becomes a consented record, sent to your CRM
  • A sponsor message on the sign-in page, with views and click-throughs counted
  • A one-question survey during the show, answered on the phone already in their hand
  • A private key and VLAN for every till, terminal and desk, revocable one at a time
One platform for the whole night

From the doors opening to the last encore, every part of the venue on one platform

Fan data, sponsor inventory, next-show marketing and a secure back-of-house network, run from one dashboard by the team you already have.

Fan data

Turn a sold-out crowd into a fan list you own

Fans reach for their phones the moment they are through the doors. Purple meets them with a branded sign-in moment that asks for an email, a zip code or one question you care about, with clear consent. Arena GNP in Mexico City generated 2,300 leads this way from more than 15,700 fan sign-ins.

  • Social and email sign-in, with CCPA/CPRA consent and a full audit trail
  • Custom questions, such as favorite genre or home town, added to each fan record
  • Records sent to Salesforce, HubSpot, Braze or Airship through 400+ data connectors
  • Returning fans recognized, so you know who comes back and how often

Promoters and sponsors

Give sponsors a moment every connected fan sees

The sign-in page is premium inventory: a full screen, on the device each fan is holding, at the point they are most receptive. Arena GNP used it to promote Mundo Imperial services and products, and sent more than 9,600 fans on to the Mundo Imperial website.

  • Sponsor or promoter branding on the sign-in page, changed show by show
  • Views, sign-ins and click-throughs counted for every campaign
  • Redirect fans to a sponsor offer, an app download or a social feed after sign-in
  • Opted-in audience insight to bring to sponsor renewals

At Telcel EDC Mexico 2026, fan sign-in ran at an 84% authentication rate and generated 1,800 leads.

Next show

Sell the next gig to the people who loved this one

A fan who came for one genre is the best prospect for the next act like it. Purple tags each fan by the show they attended and passes it to your CRM, so the right programme reaches the right inbox. Glasgow Life used it to put the Royal Concert Hall's Christmas programme in front of 690 opted-in concert-goers.

  • A different sign-in page per show, branded for the act, promoter or season
  • Fans tagged by event attended, ready for segmented email from your CRM
  • Micro surveys about bars, merch and amenities, asked during the visit
  • The Kimmel Center learned that half its respondents came for a ticketed event, from 2,120 answers

Crew and kit

Staff, crews and production kit on their own secure networks

Box office terminals, bar tills, card readers, lighting and sound desks and touring production laptops cannot share a password with a full house. xPSK gives every device its own key and VLAN, and staff sign in with their own account, so a leaked key affects one device, not the show.

  • A private key and VLAN for each till, terminal, desk and camera
  • Time-limited keys for touring crews and promoters, with no MDM needed
  • Staff sign in with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta or Google Workspace, revoked when they leave
  • Works under your vendor's name: iPSK on Cisco, DPSK on Ruckus, MPSK on HPE Aruba and Juniper Mist, PPSK on Extreme and UniFi

Music venue WiFi questions, answered

What venue marketing, commercial and IT teams ask us most

Can Purple cope with a full house?

Capacity comes from your access point design, which Purple works with rather than replaces. Purple handles the sign-in, consent and fan data on top, and Arena GNP has recorded more than 15,700 fan sign-ins through it.

How do sponsors and promoters get value from the WiFi?

They can brand the sign-in page, run an offer and send fans to their own site or app after sign-in. Every view and click-through is counted, so you can show the result at renewal. Arena GNP sent more than 9,600 fans on to the Mundo Imperial website this way.

Can each show have its own sign-in page?

Yes. You can brand the page per show, act, promoter or season, and tag each fan with the event they attended so your CRM can segment by it.

Which CRM and marketing platforms do you connect to?

Salesforce, HubSpot, Braze, Airship, Bloomreach, Iterable and SevenRooms, among 400+ data connectors in our connectors library.

Is the fan data consented?

Yes. Consent is captured at sign-in with CCPA/CPRA wording you control and a full audit trail. Purple is ISO 27001 certified and CCPA/CPRA compliant.

How do staff, touring crews and production kit connect?

Staff sign in with their Microsoft Entra ID, Okta or Google Workspace account. Tills, card terminals and production devices each get their own xPSK key and VLAN, and touring crews can be given time-limited keys that expire on their own.

Do we need to replace our access points?

No. Purple runs on Cisco Meraki, HPE Aruba, Ruckus, Juniper Mist, Ubiquiti UniFi, Cambium, Extreme and Fortinet, with no on-premise server to install.
