Challenge

The artist's management demanded a phone-free experience for an album-preview tour, but previous events had suffered from audience resistance and slow exits.

Solution

PhoneLock provided 15,000 pouches, 40 unlocking stations and a trained door team to lock devices at entry and release them at exit.

Rollout

Pouches were issued at the door, unlocking stations were placed at every exit, and signage explained the policy in Arabic and English.

Results

  • Audience exit time stayed under 12 minutes
  • Leak incidents dropped by 90%
  • Social sentiment around the phone-free experience was overwhelmingly positive

"Exit flow was faster than a normal show, and the artist was thrilled."
