Festival Applications

Consumers spend a great deal of money to attend most outdoor festivals. Developing an interactive application is the perfect way to help attendees get the most from their experience.

These applications have scalable GPS-based maps which allow users to do things like drop a pin where they parked y their car, or mark their campsite to help them find their way back. It can also locate the nearest bathrooms, medical station, drinking fountains, and concession stands relevant to their current location.

You can easily customize a performer lineup listed by artist alphabetically, by time, and by stage. You can also incorporate advanced search features such as genres. You may also choose to add bios and artist information. Users can create customized "favorites" section complete with alarm so they will never miss their favorite acts. Keep attendees in touch and plugged in with the what-where-when of your event. You can also add message boards for attendees to interact, comment on performances, or find friends.

Features:

Full performance and event schedule
Automatic data updates
Detailed GPS-based maps of venues
Locater feature: find the closest restroom, drinking fountain, medical station, etc.

These are some suggested features for any festival application. They are by no means the only features available. The sky is the limit when it comes to these applications. Event coordinators may also add banner ads to the application promoting vendors or sponsors. You may also allow users to purchase items from within the application. This would be useful if the applications user wanted to purchase tickets directly through the application prior to the event.
