Sports Carnival

Automate access control for sports and entertainment venues using Sports Carnival management software.

Connect Sports Carnival to your Kisi account to automatically manage facility access based on paid reservations, memberships, and booking rules. When a customer completes a qualifying reservation, Sports Carnival generates a one-time QR code or mobile credential that unlocks the Kisi Terminal Pro at the appropriate time and expires automatically when the session ends.

Built for sports and entertainment venues, the integration helps operators run secure, self-serve facilities while reducing manual administration and supporting 24/7 operations.

How the Sports Carnival + Kisi integration works

Sports Carnival connects bookings, payments, memberships, and digital waivers with Kisi access control to automate facility entry.

When a customer completes a paid reservation, Sports Carnival generates a one-time QR code or mobile credential that unlocks the Kisi Terminal Pro at the start of the session. Access automatically expires when the reservation ends, while memberships can also be configured with different access schedules based on membership tier.

By tying access to verified reservations and memberships, the integration helps eliminate manual access management while supporting secure, unattended operations.
