I am in the process of investigating the various forms of 
ticketing/admissions tracking of those museums that do charge admission.  
We currently are using a plastic tag that works like a paperclip, but the 
cost is a bit high and visitors have commented that they don't like them 
because they do not stay on during their visit.

We are a hands-on science center in the midst of big changes, so the 
possibility of technological tracking is very interesting to us. 

I am interested in learning how various museums track paid attendance - 
reciepts, stickers, tags, etc - including price, effectiveness and how the 
staff and visitors feel about the various methods.

Thanks so much in advance for you help.
