Accesso Technology Group has signed a seven-year contract with Merlin Entertainments to become the sole provider of the group’s onsite ticketing solutions worldwide.

Accesso’s next-generation ticketing solution, Passport, will be rolled out across more than 100 attractions over the next three years.
Passport has already been trialled at a number of Merlin attractions. The system is designed to help operators increase attendance, handle payments, minimise queue lines and simplify point-of-sale transactions. The system should help streamline Merlin’s global operations, which include the Legoland and Madame Tussauds brands as well as Alton Towers and Gardaland.

Merlin CEO Nick Varney said: “Accesso is a unique and valued partner and their solution will allow us to provide a consistent, state-of-the-art ticketing experience to the millions of guests who enjoy Merlin attractions around the world.”
