Challenge
C.J. Barrymore’s faced operational challenges with on-site bottlenecks, limited ability to manage dynamic pricing and promotions, and lacked an efficient way to sell tickets and event products online without incurring additional platform or ticketing fees. The park needed a solution that would support its brand, optimize guest arrival, and unlock new revenue streams during off-peak seasons.
Results
After implementing Passage, C.J. Barrymore’s generated over $500,000 in online revenue in its first year, sold 8,630 wristbands and gift cards, and achieved seamless guest arrivals by reducing transaction times at entry. The park established a reliable, year-round digital revenue channel, maintained full control over branding and user experience, and benefited from robust performance monitoring and continuous support—all while paying $0 in platform or ticketing fees.
