The use of sports lanyards for events and stadiums

Every high-volume sports event needs a process to differentiate between attendees and security teams, event staff and guests, VIPs and standard-entrance visitors. Sports lanyards aren’t solely created for hospitality teams and have a wide range of applications:

  • Referee and judging lanyards for match or event officials.
  • Lanyards for ticketed guests, season ticket holders and regular attendees.
  • Player, coach and team manager lanyards with variable access permissions.
  • Colleague lanyards for catering, concession and reception team staff.
  • Security lanyards for guards, supervisors, and access control teams.

One of the essential aspects of sports lanyards is the use of colours, logos and designations to ensure it is easy to spot an official or authorised visitor and to direct attendees to the appropriate entrance point.

Lanyards provide considerable cost-efficiencies as a solution to improve security, ensuring guards can see visitor credentials and spot ticketed attendees with approved entry vs those needing to pay at the gate.
