Bongo Poribar’s Durgotsav 2024 - Non-Member Donor Pass for Oct 12 Cultural Evening
Due to anticipation of a large and enthusiastic crowd attending our upcoming cultural event to watch Iman Chakroborty's performance on Oct 12-Saturday, we are implementing a donor pass system to enhance the overall event experience and ensure a smooth and organized process for attendees. Entry bands will be provided after purchase of donor pass and this will be mandatory for attending the evening cultural event on Oct 12 - Saturday.
This decision is driven by few key reasons:
-
Crowd & Capacity Management: The expected high attendance could lead to overcrowding, long lines, and adhering to fire code. Implementing this allows us to manage the crowd more efficiently and maintain a safe and comfortable environment for all attendees.
-
Security: We can better control access to the event, minimizing the risk of unauthorized entry and ensuring that everyone present is accounted for in case of emergencies.
-
Enhanced Guest Experience: Attendees will benefit from a smoother check-in process, shorter wait times, and a more enjoyable overall event experience.
​​
In summary, introducing pass based entry for our event is a proactive measure to enhance crowd management, security, and the overall guest experience. It allows us to allocate resources efficiently, collect valuable data, and communicate effectively with attendees. Ultimately, this system ensures that our event runs smoothly and safely while accommodating the expected large crowd. Note that donor pass only applies for non-members wanting to attend the evening cultural program on Saturday - Oct 12. For Saturday morning Puja and Sunday - Oct 13 Puja and cultural event, no pass is required.
