Agile Ticketing Solutions typically aims to ship out our Festival in a Box equipment so that it arrives a day or two prior to your first event. When the box arrives, please set up the equipment as soon as possible. This allows enough time for you to test all equipment at the venue(s), make sure that the equipment will connect to the Internet, and follow up with Agile if any equipment was damaged during shipping.
1. The equipment will arrive with a zip tie attached. Cut the zip tie and open the Velcro straps to open the box.
2. In the Festival in a Box, the first thing you will see is the Equipment Inventory List, and the instructions for returning your Festival in a Box back to Agile. Inside the instructions, you should also see a return label for shipping the equipment back to us. Please DO NOT lose this label.
3. In your Box you will find:
- Two Power Supplies - One for the laptop, one for the Ticket Printer.
- Computer Mouse
- Credit Card Swipe
- Laptop
- Ticket Printer
4. Remove all equipment from the Box.
5. Your ticket stock should have been shipped separate from your box.
Note: If you have customized ticket stock, please contact support 24 hours before your first event to ensure that we have the proper setup and may make test prints.
