Paléo Festival – Website and online ticket sales

1 March 2011

The Paléo Festival is Switzerland’s largest annual open-air music event: 230,000 people attend more than 190 concerts over six days.

Paléo uses SecuTix, ELCA’s ticketing solution, to handle thousands of ticket applications within a few minutes, to process electronic payments, and to generate tickets for home printing. Security features guarantee single use of the tickets.

ELCA has also been working with Paléo on their website to develop a new user experience. The Open Source site is load-balanced over three servers, to absorb traffic peaks. It includes a blog on festival events; an interactive calendar with performance previews and links to artists’ pages; a multimedia library to access different media and artists’ pages by date, theme and keywords; and separate areas for the press and the Paléo team, requiring log-in.
