Technological preparation for the volume of accesses

The digital infrastructure set up to support the demand of thousands of simultaneous users is based on high-capacity servers managed by Ticketmaster, which will implement the intelligent virtual queue system to organize the flow of requests.

On Naquela occasion, records showed the presence of more than four hundred and sixty thousand people waiting in the digital lobbies, with transactions originating from twenty-eight different countries. Para To mitigate instability risks, the ticket company’s software engineers recommend that buyers avoid refreshing the browser page during the countdown and ensure that credit card data is previously saved in their user profile. The stability of the home internet connection is also a crucial factor highlighted by e-commerce experts to ensure success in the final stage of payment processing.

Infrastructure of the entertainment complex

Parque Olímpico will undergo new adjustments to receive the public during the seven days of programming, maintaining the lawn sector as the main free circulation area for those with standard access.
