What’s the
story?
My Event Operations career has spanned over two decades. It has taken me all over the world working on greenfield festival sites and inside some of the most prestigious venues. It all started with a summer job in accreditation at one of the UK’s premier festivals and venues.
At the festival, one of my tasks was to create the Pass Sheet. This meant laboriously sticking a sample of each laminate and wristband to an A3 piece of paper before writing in Sharpie what each one was and where it allowed access to. Then I had to photocopy it and cross out each pass depending on the access point that each Pass Sheet was referring to. A necessary, but time-consuming process.
Twenty years on and the time taken to produce accurate and legible Pass Sheets hasn’t decreased much. Even with the advances in digital technology, tasks like formatting the size of images or organising the text to describe each pass remain complicated and time intensive.
Earlier this year, after spending a very late night before a show, aiding in the production and printing of hundreds of different Pass Sheets for the myriad of different gates, it occurred to me that there must be an easier way, so I set out to create one.
Pass Sheet Pro may not change the world, but it will change the way a vital task is carried out and it will SAVE YOU TIME.
