What are Digital Passes & Tickets?

Digital passes replace printed membership cards with secure mobile versions in Apple or Google Wallet.

Digital tickets work the same way for classes, activities, and one-off bookings, giving each participant instant, contactless access from their phone.

Both update automatically with live booking and membership details, no printing, no manual checks, just easy, verified entry.

How digital passes improve on traditional cards

Before

  • Members collected printed cards at reception.
  • Activity passes for group bookings were hard to share. 
  • Lost or damaged cards caused delays and extra admin.
  • Physical cards could be copied or shared, creating security risks.

Now

  • Passes and tickets appear instantly in Apple or Google Wallet.
  • Lead bookers can share digital passes with participants.
  • Check-ins are fast, contactless, and secure.
  • NFC tap-to-enter ensures passes can't be copied or shared.

Why everyone benefits from digital passes

Effortless Access

Members and PAYG customers simply tap or scan to enter. No forgotten cards, no queues, just fast, frictionless entry.

Instant for every booking

Members can download their digital pass or ticket as soon as a session is booked, ready to go when they arrive.

Branded for your facility

Every pass features your logo, colours, and centre name, creating a professional, recognisable experience that keeps your brand front of mind.

Secure & Reliable

QR and NFC technology connect directly to live Gladstone data, preventing card sharing or misuse and ensuring verified access every time.

“The aim was to make access feel effortless, whether you’re a member or just booked a class for the first time. If someone can scan a boarding pass to get onto a flight, they can scan into a leisure centre.”

“We didn’t just build this for members, we built it for staff too. Digital passes reduce queue times, take pressure off the front desk, and give operators the flexibility to support any type of customer, across any site.”

Have some questions about going digital?

Here are some of the most common questions leisure operators ask about digital passes, tickets, and contactless access with Gladstone.

How do digital passes and tickets work?
