Business context
Lucca Comics & Games is the most important European event linked to Pop Culture, the second in the world, with more than 270,000 tickets sold in the previous edition of 2019 over the 5-day duration of the event. Due to the restrictions made necessary by the Covid-19 pandemic and the new security measures required, for the 2020 edition Lucca Crea faced the difficulties towards innovation by introducing Lucca Changes, a concentrate of operations with a high rate of experimentation aimed at imagining new ways of declining the great cross-media event, ranging from new forms of physical and virtual hybridizations, keeping intact its essence and relevance for its numerous stakeholders. Inside this context, as a really disruptive operation, was conceived Lucca Campfire, a network of 115 specialized shops including Comics & Hobby Stores and independent bookstores, giving life to a festival spread throughout Italy, creating a system able to involve the whole production chain, from publisher to author, from fan to shopkeeper, from distributor to media centers.
To manage this transformation, has been chosen our BMarkEn platform, which provided its engine functionalities for the new webapp, allowing the digitization of the LuccaChanges Campfires.
The mechanics of the program
The webapp created by LiberActa played a vital role in allowing the thousands of Lucca C&G fans to access through a digital pass to the special events of the Campfire and receive / use coupons and promos from the Shops and Sponsors of the event, allowing the shops specialized in managing events safely and interacting more effectively with attendees.

Outcome
Despite the devastating impact of the restrictions that came into effect in October, the system guaranteed the sale and distribution of the bags and the distribution and use of the coupons issued by sponsors and stores still operational. It is important to note that all this has happened and has been achieved in a very short period of time and the project had significant adjustments in progress due to the unexpected restrictive measures that came into force during the month of October. Nonetheless, thousands of Lucca C&G fans were able to access the bags and coupons they purchased with great simplicity and safety within the timeframe of the event. In this sense, the service offered by Liberacta contributed in a fundamental way to creating a connective tissue on which the experience of the Campfire widespread-festival determined a very particular spatial unity, both physical and virtual.
