Tickets

Every person gets a scannable ticket. A ticket never changes after it is issued — fixing one means voiding it and issuing a new one, so the gate is never guessing.

About 15 minutesOrganizer

A ticket is one person, one or more days, one code. Codes are issued once and never edited: if a day changes or a name is wrong, the old ticket is voided and a new one issued in the same transaction, and the old code scans as "replaced — see new ticket". That rule is what lets a phone with no signal trust its own copy of the roster.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Choose when tickets go out

    Events → Schedules → Ticket delivery. The template sets a default (often 3 days before day one). Move it, or set immediately on registration for events with walk-ins. Ticket delivery is a core schedule — included on every plan and never paused.

    Confirmation and ticket delivery are included on every plan.
  2. 2

    What the ticket looks like

    The email carries a link to the ticket page: the person's name, their days, the venue, the code and a QR. One email can carry every ticket in a household. The page works offline once opened and offers Add to Apple Wallet / Save to Google Wallet when wallet tickets are turned on.

    The same QR on the email, the wallet and the printed sheet.
  3. 3

    Print for people without email

    Anyone registered without an email is put on the print track. Events → Badge runs builds a print sheet (or badges) for a group or the whole event, in the order you choose. Hand them out at the group; they scan exactly like a phone ticket. Nobody is second-class for not having an inbox.

    A print run per group, sorted by household so families stay together.

    When something changes

    Every change goes through void and reissue, in one step:

    • Day change — new ticket for the new day; the old one scans "wrong day → replaced".
    • Transfer — the new person gets fresh codes; the old ones name the replacement.
    • Cancel — the ticket voids; the place is given back.

    A Google Wallet ticket goes inactive automatically. An Apple Wallet ticket keeps its old code, so the gate says "replaced" and names the new one — the person is still found in seconds.

    An old code never silently works — and never leaves someone stranded.
  5. 5

    Resend, and the self-service page

    Lost ticket? The person opens My registration (the link in their confirmation) and resends it themselves. From the admin, Attendees → person → Resend ticket. Every send is on the Sent messages page with delivery status.

    Registrants fix things themselves. You get fewer emails.

When you are done

What should be true now

  • Ticket delivery timing is what you want, in the event's time zone.
  • A test ticket opened on a phone, scanned, and the print sheet built.
  • You know where to resend from (and so do your registrants).
  • You have decided whether wallet tickets are on.
