How does QR code ticketing work?

QR codes are two-dimensional barcodes that can be easily scanned by smartphones and other mobile devices (yup, you also scan QR codes using your computer!). These codes contain all the necessary ticket information, such as event details, ticket type and participant details, making them a secure and convenient alternative to physical tickets.

Hosting a party with QR code ticketing

In the first place, throwing an event where entry is allowed only to guests who have an entry ticket with a QR code will be much easier for you as an organizer. With this solution, you don’t have to fiddle around with paper lists or searching for event participant data on the manual, paper list✍🏽.

So what does it look like step by step?

• Create a ticket or gift card template. In my case, I created an invitation to a summer party.

• Edit the text and add all the necessary information. Place the QR code on the entrance ticket.

• Next, go to Product Settings and select the product to which you want the admission ticket you just created to be assigned. To do this, you need to check the PDF Coupon checkbox and select the appropriate template.

👉 Don’t forget to save all the changes!

• The next step will be to publish the product just created. By doing so, you will enable the purchase of our summer event admission ticket. When the user buys the admission ticket, he will automatically receive it by email. A link to automatically download the admission ticket in pdf form is available in the email.

This is what you gain by utilizing event tickets with QR codes

• Comfort 🛋️

Most importantly – productivity and comfort. As an event organizer, you can easily either generate QR codes using QR code generator tools or integrate QR code functions into your event management platform. Using WordPress event plugin with built-in QR code features greatly streamlines the entire ticketing process.

• Improved security and scam prevention 👮

Selling tickets with QR codes increases event security and reduces the risk of scams. QR codes can be uniquely assigned to each participant, making it difficult for forgers to duplicate a ticket. Furthermore, QR code verification in real time at event entry ensures that only valid tickets provide access, preventing unauthorized entry. After all, no one wants intruders at their party!

• Contactless experience 😊

Last, but not least, let’s not forget about health issues, which emerged during the COVID pandemic 🦠. Nowadays, offering contactless tickets has become essential. A QR code ticket eliminates the need for physical contact during ticket processing and validation. Attendees can simply display their QR codes on their smartphones to gain entry, providing a safer and smoother check-in process.

Conclusion

🦩 While planning your summer event, use the benefits of QR code ticketing to improve efficiency, security and attendee experience. Take advantage of digital solutions such as QR code generators and WordPress event ticket plugins with QR code features to improve your ticketing process. By offering a contactless and seamless ticketing experience, I can ensure you that you can throw a successful event.
