LEAP EVENT TECHNOLOGY CELEBRATES 10 YEARS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH REEDPOP

In 2013, Leap deployed a specialized RFID access control scanning solution to better manage huge crowds at NYCC and keep transactions securely organized. This enabled attendees to simply tap their secure RFID badges or wristbands for immediate verification, resulting in faster, shorter lines and better, safer fan management.
Three years later, ReedPop wanted a way to make sure real fans had access to tickets. They challenged Leap to integrate Fan Verification into the on-sale process - attendees must now sign up for an exclusive Fan Verification account in order to be eligible to purchase tickets. This helps to ensure resellers and bots don't beat true fans to tickets.
In 2020, during the pandemic, Leap developed a virtual meet and greet platform for NYCC to be able to bring safe and secure meet and greet opportunities for fans to meet their favorite celebrities during a time when such staples of Comic Cons were not possible in-person.
The following year, ReedPop wanted to be able to offer their fans yearly membership to Popverse, which opened up exclusive fan entitlements for those who purchase this annual subscription.
"When we first started working with Patron Technology, now Leap Event Technology, they always stepped up to find and develop solutions to our key business challenges and have always worked collaboratively to figure out how to quickly but accurately roll out new technology developments," said Kristina Rogers, Vice President of ReedPop. "They also are always 'boots on the ground' to be at the event with us and do everything in their power to make our event successful each and every year."
Michael Marty, President of Leap Event Technology states, "NYCC is one of our most prestigious and important clients. The ReedPop team and the Comic Con fans they serve are beloved by our staff for the passion they generate around this legendary event." Marty continued, "The fact that NYCC and ReedPop have been one of our marquee partners, now for a decade, is extremely humbling for us and we're excited to continue to build amazing experiences alongside them for years to come."
