Description

The Ticketing addon enables mobile app ticket scanning in Event Espresso, turning smartphones and tablets into check-in scanners linked to the Event Espresso dashboard. This extension connects the plugin’s registration database to the scanning apps via unique codes per ticket, recording attendance in real time and preventing re-entries with the same code, ideal for organizers who manage crowd flow at multiple gates.

Key Features

  • Mobile App Scanning
    Turns smartphones and tablets into ticket scanners linked to the Event Espresso dashboard.
  • Unique Code Validation
    Each registration produces a unique identifier recognized by the check-in apps upon entry.
  • Sync with Registrations
    Queries the plugin’s registry to allow or deny access based on participant status.
  • Multiple Entry Points
    Allows different operators to scan tickets in parallel at separate event gates.
  • Presence Marking
    Updates the registrant’s status in the admin panel immediately after a successful code read.

Benefits of Ticketing

  • Accelerated Check-in
    Reduces queues and wait times by replacing manual list confirmation with optical scanning.
  • Fraud Prevention
    Blocks re-entry attempts with a code already scanned during the event.
  • Paperless Operation
    Eliminates printing of physical lists and separate badges, simplifying gate-staff logistics.
  • Centralized Dashboard
    Keeps Event Espresso as the single source of attendance data and post-event reports.

Who It’s Recommended For?

  • Conference and corporate event organizers with controlled registration.
  • Show, festival, and cultural event producers with high audience flow.
  • Registration teams operating multiple simultaneous entry points.

For those who already manage registrations in Event Espresso, this additional module completes the cycle from ticket sale to on-site event entry, eliminating external validation solutions. The operation gains reliability by verifying each access against the participant’s original record, preventing duplicates, cancelled tickets, or forged codes during registration.
