Lakeside Piloting Barcodes on Passes
To help with the tracking and evaluation of our Chautauqua program, Lakeside is exploring the option of using barcodes on Chautauqua Passes to track attendance at the gates, Hoover Auditorium, the Grindley Aquatic & Wellness Campus and other Chautauqua programs.

For this year, the summer of 2018, guests will begin to see barcodes on their Daily and Season Chautauqua Passes. However, these barcodes will have no immediate effect on our guests. Passes will still need to be shown upon entering the gates, Hoover Auditorium and the Grindley Aquatic & Wellness Campus, but the barcodes will not be scanned this year. Read more...
