Innovative stadium access: how FastID is transforming entry at N.E.C.

Why did N.E.C. choose FastID for stadium access?

Wilco: “At N.E.C., we wanted a system that allowed supporters to enter the stadium efficiently while ensuring security and hospitality.Traditional tickets can be passed around, making access control difficult. FastID provides a fast, easy solution where fans use their own phones. Plus, their personal data stays entirely in their hands.”_

How Does Stadium Access Work with FastID?

“The process is simple. A supporter verifies their identity in advance and receives their ticket digitally on their phone.

At the entrance, they use facial recognition or a QR code to enter immediately. A quick glance at the camera, and they’re inside—fans are often amazed by how fast and seamless it is.”

What are the key benefits of FastID for stadium access at N.E.C.?

“The biggest advantage is speed. Supporters can enter without long wait times, combining hospitality with efficiency. FastID also improves security - N.E.C. knows exactly who is in the stadium while ensuring that fans’ data stays private.”

How do you see the future of technologies like FastID shaping stadium access?

“This innovative technology is the future of football. I expect clubs to adopt it within the next few years. With stadium access powered by FastID, we’re combining speed, hospitality, and security—a perfect mix for the future of football.”_
