First impressions matter; anyone would tell you that, and we are all about getting that first impression right.

We discovered events crumble under the weight of the sheer amount of guests trooping in to get a share of the experience, and we did what we do best.

On September 12, 2026, Liberty Stadium, Ibadan, was host to the Golden Penny Soup Festival, bringing food lovers and families together for a day of celebration, entertainment and, of course, plenty of soup.

As a large number of guests arrived at the venue, keeping the entry process moving was just as important as everything that happened inside.

That is where we at EventsPlug came in.

For a festival of this scale, with high profile celebrities like Wande Coal, Shoday and Kiekie in attendance, accreditation can easily become a pain in the you-know-where

Long queues, manual verification, guests searching for tickets, delays at entry points.

Nobody wants their first memory of a festival to be standing outside waiting to get in.

So, at the Golden Penny Soup Festival, the accreditation process was built around keeping things quick, organised and seamless.

Guests arrived at Liberty Stadium, had their tickets verified, completed accreditation and moved through the entry points without unnecessary delays.

The process was simple enough for attendees to focus on what they actually came for — the festival.

Whether you’re organising a food festival, concert, conference, exhibition, corporate gathering or large-scale celebration, your guests shouldn’t have to fight their way through the entrance before the event can begin.

EventsPlug provides the tools to manage the journey from ticket purchase to venue entry, including:

• Online event creation and ticket sales
• Real-time ticket verification
• Guest accreditation
• Attendance tracking
• Attendee management

The Golden Penny Soup Festival is another example of how the right systems can keep an event moving. We pride ourselves in being the system that makes your event move.
