A system for controlling access to an event, comprises a user access device 2 comprising an identifier, wherein the identifier comprises at least one of a user identifier and a device identifier, means for obtaining information concerning a user, and associating the user information with the identifier, and means for reading the identifier from the access device 6, and obtaining the associated user information in dependence upon the identifier. The user information may be a photograph of the user, biometric information, image data or a PIN. The user information may be displayed and access controlled on the basis of the user information. The system may have a central server (14, Fig 3), local servers (40, Fig 3) and at least one access control device, the central server (14) providing user information and identifiers to the relevant local server (40) for a particular event. The system may be able to authorise users, allow groups of users to exchange access authorisations, have waiting lists of users, be linked to social networking websites and have user statuses and loyalty information maintained at the central server. The user access device is preferably a RFID wristband that the user wears.
