Entertainment venues depend on sustained audience attention, which can easily be disrupted by inconsiderate mobile phone use during performances.
The FoneAway Lockable Mobile Phone Pouch solution
FoneAway RFID Protected, Lockable Mobile Phone Pouches, offer a simple, convenient, practical and easily affordable solution, that eliminates phone distraction, without alienating the phone owner.
On entering the phone restricted area, the phone owner pops their phone into a provided protective pouch, which is then locked by a simple click of the lock button on the pouch.
The phone in the pouch stays with the owner until the performance is finished, eliminating any potential anxiety regarding loss of the device or it being misused while not in their possession.
When leaving the restricted area, the owner simply taps the pouch onto one of the provided unlocker stations, removes the phone, and deposits the pouch into a convenient receptacle or hands it back to a member of the venue staff for subsequent reuse by a future audience.
Benefits of the FoneAway Phone Pouch Solution
- Eliminates intrusive mobile phone conversations or incoming calls.
- Prevents bright screen distraction.
- Stops unauthorised filming or flash photography.
- Enhances audience experience by removing all mobile phone distractions.
Live theatre is especially vulnerable, because actors can see screens, audience attention affects performance energy, and recording threatens intellectual property (a particular worry for commedians).
Phone-free policies restore audience immersion, respect for performers and atmosphere at the venue. They also reduce the opportunity for piracy, and help to improve audience etiquette.
