Introducing Glownet Kiosk Mode: Empowering Self-Service Wallet Experiences for Live Events and Venues
As live experiences continue to evolve, attendees expect faster, frictionless ways to manage their experience and payments, access services, and cut queues. Today, Glownet is introducing Kiosk Mode, a new capability designed to bring the power of the Glownet Wallet directly to self-service kiosks.
Glownet Kiosk Mode enables venues, event organizers, and partners to deploy Android-powered self-service kiosks where customers can independently manage their wallets in seconds.
Whether at festivals, resorts, cruise ships, theme parks, or large venues, Kiosk Mode helps reduce queues, streamline operations, and give guests control over their on-site experience.
A Complete Self-Service Wallet Station
With Glownet Kiosk Mode, kiosks become fully automated wallet service stations. Customers can easily:
Dispense cards and wristbands
- Sell packs and accesses and dispense a new RFID wristband, card or QR based wallet.
- Activate their wallet directly from the kiosk
Box Office
- Choose from available packs, credits, or access rights
- Bundle experiences before entering the venue
- Purchase additional packs, passes, or upgrades
- Extend access or add new experiences on the spot
Top up wallets
- Add funds to their wallet using integrated payment modules
- Instantly continue spending across the venue
Check wallet balance
- Tap a wallet wristband or card or scan a QR code
- View their current balance and entitlements
Convert tickets into wallets
- Scan and check-in event tickets
- Automatically dispense and link a wristband or card to the attendee’s account
This creates a seamless bridge between ticketing, access control, and cashless payments, all managed in a single self-service interaction.
Designed for Modern Android Kiosks
Glownet Kiosk Mode runs on Android-powered kiosks, allowing operators and hardware partners to integrate with a wide range of components, including:
- RFID and NFC readers
- Wristband and card dispensers
- EMV and contactless payment terminals
- Barcode and QR ticket scanners
- Receipt printers
This flexible architecture allows venues to deploy kiosks tailored to their operational needs while maintaining a consistent and secure wallet experience powered by Glownet.
Unlocking New Operational Efficiency
By enabling guests to serve themselves, Glownet Kiosk Mode significantly reduces pressure on staff and service points. Venues benefit from:
- Shorter queues and faster onboarding
- Lower staffing requirements
- 24/7 wallet service availability
- Higher customer satisfaction
- Increased revenue opportunities through self-service upgrades and add-ons
For large-scale environments where thousands of attendees may arrive simultaneously, self-service kiosks can dramatically improve entry and onboarding flows.
Partnering for the First Deployments
Glownet is now inviting hardware partners, kiosk manufacturers, and venue operators to participate in the first pilot deployments of Glownet Kiosk Mode.
These early collaborations will help refine the experience across different environments and hardware configurations, including integrations with wristband dispensers, payment terminals, and ticket scanning modules.
- Partners participating in early tests will gain:
- Early access to Glownet Kiosk Mode
- Direct collaboration with the Glownet product team
- The opportunity to help shape the future of self-service wallet experiences
The Future of Self-Service Event Wallets
Self-service technology is rapidly becoming a key part of modern venue infrastructure. With Kiosk Mode, Glownet extends its platform to empower attendees to manage their experience on their own terms—quickly, securely, and effortlessly.
We are excited to work with partners to bring this new capability to life. If you are a kiosk manufacturer, payment provider, hardware integrator, or venue operator interested in participating in early trials, we would love to hear from you.
