Premier Solutions for Every Festival Need

Our Services

Parking:

Our staff will professionally direct and park all attendees safely to ensure we use all of the space available as efficiently as possible. Premier will ensure that staff stay focused, maintain eye contact with the drivers and talk them through the process to avoid any potential accidents or backups.

Staffing:

We have successfully staffed over 84 Festivals and 18 special events with 10 - 150 employees including: Staff Managers, Lot Supervisors, Cashiers, Runners, ADA Transport, Setup Crews, Teardown Crews, General Event Staff and more!

Traffic Control:

One of our areas of expertise is understanding traffic patterns and our ability to make the necessary decisions on when to stop or redirect traffic. Our goal is to have our ingress and egress flow smoothly to prevent any backups. This is a vital part of every event.

CAD Mapping & Lot Build Plans:

Our staff uses specialized drones and other surveying equipment that allows us to create the most accurate CAD maps and efficient build plans.

Pedestrian Flow Plans:

Safety is a top priority for all pedestrians, especially those traveling on foot through large and often unfamiliar festival grounds. We will create and manage plans to reduce any and all risks that your patrons may be subject to, including crosswalks, fencing, barricades, and even mobile traffic light control.

Marshalling Program:

Secure entry to the event for vendors, artist, staff, or any personnel that may be required to load-in before the days of an event.

Vaccine/Covid Screenings:

We have been offering vaccine checking services and health screenings since the return of large events in 2021.

Cone & Signage Rental:

We offer the rental of Traffic cones, K-rail, Chain link panels, Water barricade, Signage and Bike rack for your Festival.

Tolls:

We are able to offer tolls for any service, equipped with cashiers, ticket scanners, or general event staff to meet any need.

Labor Crews:

From Set-up and Tear-down to Waste Removal and Tent Construction, we offer labor intensive crews to assist in any area of work that you may find at a festival or large event.

Permits:

One of our areas of expertise is understanding what permits are required to accomplish certain goals with large events. Our years of professional experience combined with our vast network of large event companies will ensure that your event is not halted by any of the permit issuing processes.

RFID Access Control:

Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID, technology is used to enable the exchange of data between cards and readers. Ideal for use in access control systems, RFID cards have a uniquely identifiable tag that can be detected by a reader up to a few feet away allowing for a quick secure access point at large events.

Camping Management:

Before inspections, we build lots for each camping spot to ensure each camper gets their correct amount of space. We will direct them into their space once gates open with our directional staff and ensure all internal traffic flows properly while making any adjustments along the way.

Meet the Team

Ryan Gale - President

Ryan was the first undergraduate to receive a degree in entrepreneurship from The Ohio State University. While studying for his degree he ran Premier Parking. When he started at Premier they had 12 employees and just a few accounts. When he graduated he bought out the owners and grew the business to over 100 employees and accounts in multiple states. Premier now operates some of the best accounts with service being the forethought in the company's mind. Since then, he has been running parking operations for clients that have had 20 people attending, all the way to large scale festivals with over 300,000 people in attendance. His culture has been built on one ideal, “we are the first and last impression of every customer that visits our establishments.” He believes that holding that idea above all else will allow Premier to far exceed any other operator's team. Ryan is also an avid extreme sports guy. When he is not riding his OneWheel, you can find him barefoot waterskiing, dirt biking with his dad, or ski biking down a mountain.

After starting as Directional Staff with Premier Festival Solutions in 2021, Joey quickly grew within the company to become part of the management team.
