“Prepared at a frantic pace, and the project presented drew our attention by its superiority to similar ones.”
Artur RojekDirector, OFF Festival
“Their reliability, patience and, above all, their professionalism make LineApp a company you want to work with.”
Janusz MakuchDirector, Jewish Culture Festival
“What truly stood out was the app’s user-friendly interface and intuitive client dashboard.”
Michał MerczyńskiFestival director 1991–2023, Malta Festival Poznań
“The app became the one line we have to every person on the field.”

Where the brand lives
Eight places a brand can live in your app. Each one counted.
Tick a place. Watch the package add up.
Tick the places your sponsor gets. The total is what the sponsor pays your festival. The brand in the screens, Halden Lager, is invented.
Package £12,000 · £8,000 short of paying for your app.
The app is a fixed £20,000. The sponsor’s money pays for it first; everything above stays with you. Example prices for a festival of 40,000. Every place has its own line in the sponsor’s report.
How many saw it. How many times.
18,240people saw the sponsor’s logo

The logo sits in the tab bar, so everyone who opens the app sees it, every time they open a screen. Each place has its own count in the report, so the sponsor sees which ones worked.

One push. About 1,000 people in 3 minutes.
The zone was empty. A sportswear brand’s stage, a hip-hop artist on it, and almost nobody in front. SBM FFestival sent one push from its LineApp app. In three minutes, about 1,000 people walked in.

The money
The honest maths. The app isn’t free.
Your app costs £20,000 for one edition. One sponsor package pays £40,000. The sponsor pays for your app, and pays you the same again.
If no package sells, you pay the £20,000 yourself. That’s the deal, written down.
The “your logo” version has empty slots for your festival and your sponsor. Send it to the sponsor you’re talking to.

For the people
For the people. And the friends they drag along.
Seven reasons your crowd opens the app on Friday and is still using it on Sunday. Each one also sells a ticket or fills a zone.
1
Come for the plan. Bring the crew.
Make your plan, tap Invite, and your friends see what you’re going to. A plan shared on Tuesday is a friend who buys a ticket on Wednesday.
Invite with a link · 3 people in your crew
Every invite is a ticket conversation you didn’t pay for.
2
Find your crew. Even on one bar.
Your crew shows on the map as their emoji. When the signal drops, you still see their last spot and the way there. Only friends who chose to share.
Maja · 140 m · by the East bar

Uncover the festival.
The map starts in fog and clears where you walk: the hidden stage, the quiet corner, the sponsor’s bar. Your crew races you to 100 %, and the sponsor gets visitors a banner never brings.

FAQ
FAQ. Go on. Ask the awkward ones.
Your question isn’t here? Put it in the form. We answer it in the demo.
“We’ve had festival apps before. Nobody used them, and they died on Monday.”
Then you know what to ask us. We agree an adoption target with you before launch, put QR codes at the gates and the campsites, and show you installs every day from the first one. If the numbers are bad, the Monday report says so in the first line.
“And in a storm, what about everyone who hasn’t got the app?”
The app is one more channel, not your safety plan. Your PA, screens and stewards still lead. The push reaches the phones a speaker can’t: the far bar, the campsite, the shuttle stop. We write the alert templates with your safety lead before the gates open.
“What if it crashes at the worst possible moment?”
It was built for that moment. The line-up and the Map work offline, the push doesn’t need social media, and people are on call all weekend.
“Can it help us sell next year’s tickets?”
It’s the shortest route to your warmest fans. Build an opted-in segment, such as everyone who saved three techno sets, and send the early-bird push the morning sales open.
“How long does it take?”
Seven days from your poster to your app. A line-up, a map and your brand book are enough to start.
“How do I know people actually saw my logo?”
Every time it’s on screen, it’s counted. The report shows how many people saw it and how many times, place by place. At the example festival: 18,240 people, 1.61 million times across the eight places.
“Can we get the contacts of people who visit our zone?”
Yes, if they say yes. A guest scans the code in your zone, reads your name and the reason, and switches it on. You get a first name and a number with the consent recorded. It’s never pre-ticked, and one tap takes it back.
“We’re an alcohol brand. Can we even do this?”
Yes, with rules built in: pushes only to guests past the 18+ check, at sensible hours, three a day at most. Copy about music and good nights, not about drinking more.
“Will my competitor be in the same app?”
Not in your category: one sponsor per category per edition. You approve every cover, card and push before it runs, and the festival can pause sponsor content at any moment, as it does in a storm.
“Won’t people just mute the pushes?”
They will if we spam them, so we don’t. Sponsor pushes are capped, sent to a zone and always useful. Mute rates are in the report.
“What does it cost?”
For a festival of this size, £20,000 for one edition in the worked example. One sponsor package of £40,000 covers it and leaves £20,000 with you. With no package sold, you pay the £20,000.
“Who pays whom?”
The sponsor pays the festival, as with any sponsorship. The festival pays LineApp for the app. In the example, half the package pays for the app and half stays with the festival.
“An app that lives for three days is expensive.”
It works before (announcements, early-bird), during (My plan, the Map, alerts) and after (the report, the next edition). And the sponsor package pays for it.
“Who owns the data: us or you?”
You do. Your festival is the controller; LineApp is the processor, under a data processing agreement signed before launch. Leave whenever you like and take everything in one export, free.
“What do festival-goers have to give up?”
Very little. No account needed, analytics anonymous by default, location off until they switch it on, and a plain-English consent screen per purpose. People see and delete what we hold in two taps.
“Is it GDPR-proof, and where does it live?”
Built for EU law from the first screen. Hosted in the EU, with a DPA, a ready assessment for location features and a record of every consent.
“What do you never do with our data?”
Sell it, to sponsors, brokers or anyone. Hand a sponsor anyone’s details without that person’s own yes. Track location in the background or without consent.
“What don’t your numbers claim?”
That a “user” is a person: a user is an install, so a second phone counts twice. That every push was delivered: we report pushes sent and messages read. That the app sold the pints: we count zone visits and coupons, not sales.
“Our ticketing doesn’t give us anything. What’s different?”
Your ticketing tells you how many tickets you sold. Connect it, and the app tells you who paid and who came, gate by gate. One buyer often brings friends, and only the app sees them.
“Which numbers need an integration?”
Inside vs outside the gates needs your ticketing. Shortest queue needs bar tills or cashless. Locker numbers need the locker partner. Everything else (pushes, the Map, placements, consent contacts) comes from the app itself.
“Can we take the data into our own tools?”
Yes, that’s the point. CSV or Google Sheets, opted-in contacts to Mailchimp or Brevo, or an API and webhooks. No export fees.
“We have no IT team.”
You don’t need one. The panel is as simple as a form. Press Send and it’s on every phone with the app. We sit beside you for the first festival.
“Does my crew see where I am all the time?”
Only if you share it, only with your crew, and you can switch it off in two taps.
“Do I need an account?”
No. Open the app and go. An emoji is enough to be someone for the weekend.

The sponsor’s report, the Monday after
Eight pages, the way a sponsor’s board receives it. Scroll through, then download.
Separate. The yes to the sponsor is its own switch, never bundled with anything else.
Off until they turn it on. Never pre-ticked.
Named. The screen says which sponsor is asking, and why.
Little. The sponsor gets a first name and a number. Nothing else.
Reversible. One tap in Me takes it back, and the sponsor is told.
How each place is counted
One line per place in the report
Logo in the tab bar. One per screen opened: the logo sits in the tab bar on every screen.
Launch cover and Discover poster. Each time it was on screen for at least a second.
Push to the bar zone. Each push delivered to a phone in the zone (18+ only, three a day at most).
Shop shelf. Each time the brand’s shelf was on screen.
Sponsored stage and map pin. Each time the stage or pin was on screen, or opened.
Identity card frame. Each card made or opened in the brand’s frame.
FAQ answer. Each time a “Brought to you by” answer was opened.
Monday survey. Each time the question was opened. Answers are counted separately.
FAQ · Data & privacy
Who owns it, where it’s kept, for how long
“Who owns the data: us or you?”
You do. Your festival is the controller; LineApp is the processor, under a data processing agreement signed before launch. Leave whenever you like and take everything in one export, free.
“Where is it kept?”
Hosted in the EU, with a DPA, a ready assessment for location features and a record of every consent.
“For how long?”
As long as your agreement says, and no longer. You can ask for everything to be deleted at the end of the edition.
“What do festival-goers give up?”
Very little. No account needed, location off until they switch it on, and a plain-English consent screen per purpose.
