The case
A festival banner competes with a hundred others.
The app competes with nothing.
The app is where the crowd goes to answer where do I need to be. They open it before the gates, between every set, and again at 2 AM looking for a phone they dropped. Nothing else at the festival gets that kind of return traffic.
That makes it two things at once. It is the best attendee experience you can ship, and it is the only ad surface at your event with a full share of voice, no algorithm in front of it, and a count of every impression.
Most festivals rent that surface from a vendor, pay per attendee, and get a template with someone else's name in the footer. This is the other way round: a fixed price, your store accounts, your data, and every sponsor dollar in your account.
What gets built
Six screens people
actually open.
These are the real screens shipping in the Eternal NYE app on iOS and Android. Your build gets the same foundation under your brand, with the pieces your event needs and none it does not.
Everything in the box
Ten features.
All of them shipping today.
Ten thousand phones,
one cell tower.
This is where most festival apps fail. Service drops at the gate and the schedule turns into a spinner on the one night it mattered. Every plan caches the lineup, the set times, the map and the FAQ to the phone on first open. It answers with no signal at all.
How offline-first worksThe part nobody else builds
The app is a
revenue line.
I do not just hand over an app. I build the sponsor inventory inside it, the CMS your team runs it from, and the deck your sales side takes to brands.
Eight placements, priced as tiers and a la carte. Impressions and taps counted per campaign, read live in a dashboard, and closed out with a wrap report. Aggregate numbers only, so no attendee data leaves the festival.
That is the difference between an app as a line item and an app that pays for itself before the gates open.

Plus a la carte from $500 to $2,500 per placement. These are the 2026 rates for one 10,000-person festival, not a quote for yours. What your inventory is worth depends on your head count and your sponsors.

How it works
Content in hand
to store in six weeks.
No development team on your side, no design phase that runs a quarter. The foundation already ships to ten thousand phones. What takes the time is your content and your brand, and that is the part we do together.
Scope call
Dates, head count, stages, what you want the app to do, and the sponsor inventory plan. You leave with a plan, a number and a content checklist.
Content and brand
You send the key art, the lineup, the set times, the map and the FAQ. I set up the CMS under your brand and load everything in.
Build and beta
Your team gets a TestFlight and a Play beta. We walk every screen together, fix what is wrong, and your ops lead learns the CMS on the real content.
Store submission
I handle review on both stores, under your accounts. You get a link, a QR code and store badges for the announcement.
Show days
Your team runs the CMS. I am in it with you: set-time changes, broadcasts, the status board, the Lost and Found queue.
Wrap
The sponsor report, the analytics readout, and what to change next year. The app stays live and the next event on your calendar goes in.
Pricing
Three plans.
One yearly price, never per attendee.
Track record
Shipped, not
pitched.
