Could you provide some details on the BOOTP solution you found? This
was the main issue which prevent us from supporting their scanners on
our infrastructure.

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.
Thanks,

Does anyone else have Ticket Master scanners in use, wirelessly
checking tickets for validity at your sporting venues that also have
your campus wireless in the facility?
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?
Thanks-
