Access control
Gate teams that are calm. Artists that feel safe. Fans that don't see the chaos.
Groove models your event as a zone graph instead of a list of gates. Every scanner knows who belongs where – and when to escalate.
Zone graph for your site
Designer‑friendly · No spreadsheetsZones and edges
Draw your event like a map: entrances, internal gates, decks and compounds. Groove turns that into allowed paths.
- Ticket types define where you can and cannot go.
- Scanner mode controls what's shown to gate staff.
Capacity & crowd safety
Groove tracks capacity per zone in near real time using entrances and exits – not guesses over the radio.
- Soft and hard caps per zone, with alerting.
- Audit history of every manual override.

Need artist‑only zones, VIP fast lanes or accessibility routes? Groove's organiser portal lets you design them visually.
