Lightning In A Bottle
Access, credentialing, and fulfillment built for one of the most immersive multi-day festivals in the U.S.
Lightning in a Bottle (LIB) brings 38,000+ people to California’s Buena Vista Lake for a multi-day blend of music, art, and community.
LIB’s remote location and unreliable internet made traditional access systems risky. With over 25 credential types—including GA, car camping, RVs, artists, and staff—organizers needed a solution that worked offline and scaled easily.
wrstCORE integrated with Lightning in a Bottle's ticketing solution, Tixr, to kick off fulfillment. On-site WRSTBND deployed 8 NTR-6s and 19 NTRS-Hs for access control and 20 NTR-Ts for box office services.
WRSTBND handled everything from mail fulfillment to on-site wristband distribution. Offline-capable scanners processed over 100,000 scans, keeping things moving across dozens of zones—even in the middle of nowhere.
