WHAT IS AN ACCREDITATION SYSTEM?
An accreditation system is a software package that vets and manages the rights for media, broadcasters, VIPs and other non-public attendees to access stadiums or venues during events.
The system workflow streamlines a traceable and secure workflow from the original application request for accreditation to be considered, through to the allocation of photo ID badges to attend an actual match or fixture.
HOW iPBS SIMPLIFIES MATCH DAY MANAGEMENT

MATCH REQUESTS PROCESSED SINCE 2010
Process applications, print zonal passes, track attendance and more
iPBS is the central online place for controlling the entire accreditation and match day acceptance process.
The first time a media representative or broadcaster member of staff applies to be considered for acceptance, they use the iPBS portal.
Clubs or organisations verify proof of identity through the admin side of iPBS and accept or reject, reducing time delays and making it easy to trace the journey for each accredited person who applies.
Once accredited on iPBS, individuals can request specific facilities or zonal access to each fixture based on their role. So photographers may go pitchside, whilst press may go into the press lounge.
And there’s so much more to iPBS. It’s a proven workflow for increasing security, providing 360 visibility and streamlining the steps to make working at live events as smooth as possible for everyone.
