1. A computer-implemented method for allowing entry to an event, comprising:
receiving an order to purchase access to the event, the order associated with a first user account;
receiving payment corresponding to the order;
storing an indication that at least one individual associated with the first user account is authorized to access the event;
receiving image data from a camera located at an entrance to the event, the image data including a representation of at least a portion of a first face associated with a first user corresponding to the first user account;
determining an identifier for the first user account by comparing the representation of the at least the portion of the first face to biometric data for at least the first user and a second user associated with a second user account, the first user account being different from the representation of the at least the portion of the first face;
determining, based at least in part on the identifier, that the at least the first user is authorized access to the event;
determining, using the camera, that the first user is approaching an automated gate in the entrance, the automated gate configured to allow access to the event; and
sending an instruction to the automated gate to allow access to the event to the first user.
