At the door
Several dates, one ticket —
and the door knows the difference.
Define each date on its own — time, place and gate — then mark which dates each ticket type admits to. At the door, pin each scanner to the date it is working, and it checks every ticket against that date alone.
At the door
On night two, nobody on the door can tell whether that ticket is even for tonight.
A run of several nights usually gets set up as several separate events — so the same guest turns up on several lists, holding several codes.
A date per night
Each date has its own name, start time, door-close time and — when it moves — its own address and gate.
Tickets for chosen dates
Tick which dates each ticket type admits to; a type with nothing ticked admits to all of them.
The door checks tonight
A scanner pinned to a date blocks any ticket that does not cover it, and records no entry. An unpinned scanner resolves by the clock and shows an amber card instead, which takes an explicit override — recorded against the operator's name.
A refusal that explains
The card names the guest and lists the dates their ticket does cover, so the agent does not have to go and find someone with a laptop.
A roster per date
Pick a date on the check-in screen; the list shows who is in for it and who is not.
Only your own dates
A guest's ticket and calendar carry only the dates their own ticket admits to.
How it works
Four steps.
Define the dates
A name, a time and a place for each night.
Map the tickets
Which dates each ticket type admits to.
Send
Each guest gets a link to their own ticket, listing only the dates it admits to.
Scan
Each night, against that night's date.
FAQ
What people ask about a run of several nights.
What happens when someone turns up with a ticket for a different night?
On a scanner pinned to that date, the scan is blocked and the card names the guest and lists the dates their ticket does cover; nothing is recorded. On an unpinned scanner it comes up amber against the date they do hold, and admitting them takes an explicit override. Either way a manager can admit them from the check-in screen, and that decision is recorded with their name.
Can we sell a single-night ticket and a full-festival pass side by side?
Yes. Each ticket type is ticked for its own dates, and a type with nothing ticked admits to every date. A full pass gets in every night on the same code. (Selling paid tickets opens for business accounts once the three documents are approved.)
We run two rooms at once — how does a scanner know which one it is on?
Bind each phone to its date when you issue its scanning code, and it only admits to that one. Once the date is over the binding drops and the scanner goes back to resolving by the clock.
We cancelled one night. What happens to the tickets?
The date leaves the registration page, the ticket and the calendar file the ticket hands out, and nobody can be admitted to it any more. A guest who already added it to their own calendar keeps that entry until they delete it. Entries already recorded against it are kept, and the date can be put back on the schedule.
