WaitTime Expands Internationally With Trial At Melbourne Cricket Ground

With a capacity of more than 100,000, the Melbourne Cricket Ground can hold a lot of people for a cricket match, Australian football game or concert. That many people almost always means long lines for food and restrooms — but perhaps not for long.

On Friday, the Melbourne Cricket Club announced a new partnership with WaitTime, a company that helps sports venues track and hopefully shorten the length of lines for concessions and bathrooms. The trial run will be WaitTime‘s first deal made internationally.

New sensors will be installed at MCG takeaway outlets, as part of a trial to track the length of queues and direct crowds to shortest lines.
