Axess entry management installations ease crowd access at Australian Grand Prix and Auckland’s Go Media Stadium

April 15, 2025

Leading ticketing and access management systems provider Axess AG has flagged its success in facilitating fan entry at the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Australian Grand Prix 2025 in Melbourne and at Auckland’s Go Media Stadium.

During the Melbourne F1, 465,498 fans passed through the newly installed Axess Smart Gates over its four days, setting a new all-time attendance record - 13,000 more than attended in 2024.

David Brown, Managing Director at Team Axess Australia Pry Ltd, advised “with such massive crowds, the addition of the Axess Smart Gates played a key role in ensuring a smooth and efficient entry process. Not only did they perform flawlessly under high demand, but they also looked impressive, perfectly complementing the world-class atmosphere of the event.”

March also Axess’ entry management system made its debut at Go Media Stadium, ensuring a seamless entry experience for 16,709 fans at the clash between Auckland FC and Adelaide United.

With 27 Cabled Smart Gates, 20 Mobile Battery/Wi-Fi Smart Gates, six Smart Posts, and 15 Handheld 600s, the technology delivered smooth and efficient ingress.

Commenting on this, Brown added “this was a great start for our installation at the home of the Auckland Warriors and Auckland FC with a capacity of 25,000 for rugby league and football and 47,000 for concerts.”

Axess’ technology integrated with Ticketmaster at both the venues.
