Lee,
In the past two years a country music fest has taken place at our stadium. We decided to create a special SSID for Ticket Master. Their only encryption requirement was WPA-TKIP. A peculiarity of their system was that they required bootp for the IP assignment of the handheld devices. This was troublesome in the beginning but we eventually made it work. We've been told they have plans to move to DHCP. Another issue that we ran into was on the days of the events. The artist's buses, over ten of them, were parked near one of the gates where tickets were being scanned, and they all had their own mobile WiFi hotspots. This caused significant interference with our WAPs. In the end, we ended up providing wireless to the buses.

Are you running with Ticket master's own WLAN as a competing wireless island alongside yours, or were you able to adapt your WLAN to accommodate a TM SSID and vlan?
