Event accreditation, sorted
The calm operating system
for event accreditation.
Suppliers and crew enter their own details through simple self-service portals. Your team only reviews the exceptions. Credentials, compliance, gate scanning and reconciliation — all handled, all automatic, all auditable.
Works in any modern browser. Native mobile apps for iOS and Android coming this season.

Live Overview — every supplier, every status, every gate, in one place.
Before and after
Accreditation is broken.
You've just been calling it Tuesday.
The old world
It's the week of the show. Twelve browser tabs. A WhatsApp thread of 47 unread messages. Three slightly-different versions of the master crew list. One supplier hasn't sent insurance documents in two months. A passport photo of someone you've never met just landed in your inbox.
The accreditation lead hasn't been home before midnight since Monday. You're not running accreditation — you're running an inbox.
The Bloop world
Suppliers onboard their own crew through a portal that doesn't need a login. Crew enter their own emergency contacts and dietary preferences. Documents track to expiry on their own.
Only the requests that genuinely need a human decision land in your queue, with the reason called out. Credentials generate automatically. The gate scans clean every time. When the strike teams roll out, your reconciliation is already done.
From kickoff to strike
Four moves.
That's the show.
Set up your event
Define your pass types, zones, show days and access points. Bloop carries the matrix through every downstream step — supplier intake, approvals, gate scanning, reconciliation. Most events are set up inside an afternoon.
Invite your suppliers
A magic link lands in their inbox. They accept, onboard their own crew, upload compliance documents and issue per-person self-fill links to their team. No accounts, no passwords, no support tickets.
Approve the exceptions
Bloop's smart queue only surfaces the requests that need your eyes — expired documents, quota breaches, conflict flags — with the reason highlighted and the fix one click away. The compliant 90% flows through automatically.
Scan, manage, close
Real-time green-amber-red gate decisions. Live dashboards across every gate, zone and day. Variance requests routed to the right department head. When the last guest leaves the site, your per-contractor reconciliation is already written.
What's inside
Everything an accreditation lead needs.
Nothing they don't.
Self-service portals
Magic-link access for suppliers, per-person magic-link forms for crew. No accounts, no passwords, no IT tickets.
Exception-only review queue
The compliant 90% sails through. Only the requests that need a human decision land in your queue — with the reason called out.
Automatic QR credentials
Approve a person, the credential generates instantly and goes out by email and SMS. No printing, no stickering, no "I lost mine".
Real-time gate scanning
Phones or fixed scanners. Green, amber or red — with the reason — in under a second. Every decision logged, every entry counted.
Live event dashboards
Approved, pending, inducted, on site — across every gate, zone, day and supplier — updated as it happens.
Compliance tracking
Insurance, RAMS, DBS — uploaded once per supplier. Auto-alerts at 90, 30 and 7 days before expiry. You're never the last to know.
Bulk import with validation
CSV or XLSX. Auto-mapped columns, row-level validation, every issue surfaced before you commit a single record.
One-click variance handling
Mid-event uplifts routed to the right department head with the right delegated authority. Approve in a tap. Quota lifts immediately.
Audit trail & reconciliation
Every approval, override, upload and scan logged with who, what, when, why. Close the event with a per-contractor report ready to share.
Plays well with your stack
Bloop fits where
you already work.
Your tour schedule already lives in Master Tour. Your settlements in ABOSS. Your guest payments in Stripe. Bloop connects to all of it — no middleware, no spreadsheets, no double entry.
Workspace
Master Tour
Sync your tour schedule, advance pages and personnel rosters straight from your master tour book. Show-day changes flow through automatically.
ABOSS
Push approved crew rosters and per-person costs into ABOSS for clean settlements and budget reconciliation.
Square
Take card payments for catering credits, vouchers and last-minute upgrades. Reconcile against the same allocation Bloop already manages.
Stripe
Charge for supplier passes, guest-list upgrades and post-event invoices. Receipts and refunds, fully audited.
Google Workspace
Show days into Calendar. Compliance documents archived into Drive. Live exports straight to Sheets.
Notion
Embed live event status, allocation tables and approval counts into your production wiki. Always current, never copy-pasted.
Slack
Real-time alerts to the right channel. Approvals, variances, expiry warnings and on-site headcount milestones — in the room with your team.
Zapier
One click to connect Bloop to 5,000+ apps. From Airtable to Asana, your workflow your way.
Add to wallet
Credentials land
in their pocket.
Every Bloop credential generates an Apple Wallet pass and a Google Wallet pass alongside the QR. Holders save it once and it lives on their lock screen — auto-updating if you re-issue, suspend or revoke, so the version on their phone is always the source of truth.

Show day, under control
Two screens that
change how the day feels.
Live event dashboard
Everything happening on your event, in one place, in real time. Approved crew, outstanding documents, who's on site right now, which suppliers are running behind, which gate's queue is longest, and how many people have passed through each zone today.

Gate scan
Designed for the realities of a live gate — bright sun, gloved hands, noisy radios, crew arriving in waves. Phone or fixed scanner. Big, fast, unmistakable decisions.
Reason codes attached to every refusal so your gate manager can resolve the rare exceptions on the spot. Every decision logged for the audit trail.
- ● GREEN — clear to enter
- ● AMBER — gate manager override needed
- ● RED — refused, reason on screen
From the teams that run the day
They sleep through
the night now.
"Three festivals, twelve gates, two thousand crew. The first year with Bloop, my team got their weekends back. Nobody chased anyone."
Priya Nair
Head of Accreditation, Summit Sound Festival
"The variance flow alone is worth it. We used to spend Sunday night arguing about who had authorised what. Now it's three taps and a clean paper trail."
Stefan Krüger
Production Director, Riverfront Music Week
"Our suppliers thank us for the supplier portal. That has never happened before."
Rosa Carrillo
Operations Lead, Aurora Nights Tour
"The audit log saved us in an insurance dispute. Every approval, every override, with the exact time and the exact person. Three minutes to pull, case closed."
Tomás Reyes
Chief Operating Officer, Crescent Bay Live
Built to be trusted
Audit-grade
by default.
Immutable audit log
Every approval, override, upload and scan written to a tamper-evident log with the actor, the action and the timestamp.
Tenant isolation
Each organisation's data is fully segregated at the database layer. There is no path between tenants.
Encrypted in transit and at rest
TLS everywhere. Document storage encrypted with industry-standard keys.
Magic-link auth, rotatable scanner keys
No passwords for suppliers or crew. Scoped sessions for everyone. Scanner devices get long-lived API keys you can rotate at any time.
GDPR-friendly workflows
Data-subject access, retention controls and consent tracking built into the supplier and crew flows.
Designed for the night before
Runs on dedicated infrastructure with hot failover, monitored 24/7 by an on-call team. We've never lost a show.
