Software for stadium and sports event fireworks

Pre-match, half-time, trophy lift: short displays cued to the second with the announcer, without ever touching the pitch.

In a stadium the display rarely lasts more than a couple of minutes, yet tens of thousands of spectators and the broadcast cameras are watching. Everything fires on a precise cue: the players walking out, the final whistle, the trophy going up. The stadium safety officer sets the rules on firing positions, pitch protection and fallout, often right at the edge of the stands. So the work leans on indoor-outdoor products, low-fallout compacts, fountains, gerbs and flame effects rather than large-calibre shells.

The client is a club, a league organiser or the agency handling a sponsor. They buy recurring dates across the whole season with variations: a restrained display for an ordinary fixture, a bigger set-up for a derby or a final. Requests come in late, the brief changes with the line-up, and the rigging slot has to be negotiated around pitch watering and protocol rehearsals. What derails a project: an authority declaration missed on an added date, a cue lost with the PA, or the same kit booked twice for two stadiums on the same weekend.

With PyroDesk, every fixture becomes a dossier in the pipeline, duplicated from the previous match to keep the firing plan, the products and the stadium’s instructions. The quote is generated in minutes, the club signs the contract on the client portal and follows progress without calling you. Stock is reserved date by date, so clashes between two venues show up before they happen. The authority declaration is pre-filled from the dossier, the planning shows your crews across the season, and invoicing per match, or grouped at month end, runs without retyping anything.

Frequently asked questions

Which products can be fired in a stadium without damaging the pitch?

Favour low-fallout, small-calibre products: indoor-outdoor compacts, fountains, gerbs, flame effects and stage pyrotechnics. The final choice depends on the firing positions granted by the stadium safety officer and the distance to the crowd. Always check the municipal rules and the competent authority’s requirements for that date.

How do you cue fireworks with the stadium announcer and PA?

Build a sequenced firing plan with cues agreed with the production desk: players’ entrance, anthem, trophy lift. Run through it with the announcer before the gates open. Timecode or manual cues both work, provided the person giving the cue is clearly identified and reachable on the night.

Is a declaration needed for every match of the season?

As a rule, each scheduled display needs its own procedure for its date, even when the set-up is identical. Ask the competent authority and the municipality: some accept a grouped file for a season, others require one declaration per fixture. Duplicating a dossier per match keeps nothing from slipping.
