Introduction

Na Meji Nevidnega (NMN) is the largest science fiction and fantasy convention in Slovenia, bringing together over 100 creators, authors, and industry professionals from the worlds of fantasy, gaming, and pop culture. The 2024 edition of NMN was a sold-out success, with over 2,800 tickets sold and attendees gathering in Ljubljana for a day filled with panels, workshops, and exclusive experiences.

To ensure efficient ticketing, smooth entry, and on-site event support, Ticklio partnered with NMN to deliver a comprehensive, end-to-end ticketing solution.

The Challenge

As a large-scale fan convention, NMN 2024 required a ticketing system that could handle:

  • Optimized Entry Management: Thousands of attendees arriving simultaneously required a fast and effective check-in process.
  • On-Site Support: To keep operations running smoothly, the event needed trained personnel to assist with check-ins, troubleshooting, and managing high-traffic areas.
  • Crowd Flow Optimization: A well-structured entry system with physical barriers was necessary to enhance movement efficiency and prevent bottlenecks.
