Event Access Control Solutions
Multi-Layered Event and Venue Security
STARK Access Control, a component of the STARK Venue Intelligence (VI) platform, provides secure access management for events and venues. The platform is available as a SaaS (Software as a Service) solution, and access control is carried out by event staff using handheld devices or contactless portals that scan patron credentials containing RFID. Using RFID ensures the authenticity of each credential and minimizes the possibility of human error in access verification.
Our VI platform also allows you to provide permission-based tiered access within your venue using Intelligence Points, Defined Zones and Credential Type.
Big or small, we scale.
Music festivals, museums, college and pro venues, traveling exhibits, sporting events, trade shows — whether it’s a permanent venue or a one-day event, our access control solutions scale to meet your unique needs.
Hand-held scanners, portals — or both.
Access control requirements (and preferences) vary for each event and may involve the use of handheld scanners, self-scan portals, or a combination of access control devices, depending on the designated areas within your venue. Either way, we’ll work with you to determine the best fit for your event.

UHF, NFC, or Dual Chip? Credentials or Wristbands?
We’ll work with you to determine the best fit.

Compact Wristband Portals
- Simple red-light / green-light validation
- Example demonstrates our UHF portal, which leverages the scalability of UHF technology but can be fine-tuned to deliver an enhanced “tap-like” experience (TAP 2.0)


Fullsize & Multimedia Portals


2-Factor Authentication (RFID and Facial Recognition)
- Scans RFID Credential and Face — ensuring that the credential and biometrics match.
- Example shows employee-facing display for added security



TAP
• Patron taps ticket to handheld or fixed portal scanner
CONTACTLESS (FLOW)
• Patrons walk comfortably spaced through access lane
• Allows staff to remain at a safe distance
BIOMETRICS
• Uses HD cameras to compare with photo on file
• Pair with Tap / Contactless for two-factor authentication (2FA)
OPTIONAL ENHANCEMENTS
- Audible & visual access granted or denied
- Display details (e.g. name, organization, picture)
- Staff Dashboard (tablet or computer) with real-time access control results
- Collect additional patron information as required (e.g. temperature check or immunity verification)
- Integrate to additional ticketing or credentialing systems
Let's face it — nobody likes waiting in lines.
With STARK’s FLOW technology, patrons are scanned by handheld readers, access portals or mounted readers as they pass. This allows patrons to keep moving and get to where they’re going — a lot faster and a lot less frustrated.
