How to Use QR Codes for Event Tickets
QR codes on event tickets make check-in fast and contactless. Attendees show a code; you scan to validate — no paper lists, no long lines.
Steps
- Decide on a single info link or unique per-ticket codes.
- Create the code in the Studio and brand it for your event.
- Use a dynamic code to track scans and update details.
- Add the code to digital and printed tickets.
Best practices
- Print at 2.5×2.5 cm or larger for quick door scans.
- Keep high contrast; avoid printing over photos.
- Have a manual fallback in case a phone screen is dim or cracked.
FAQ
How do QR code tickets work at check-in?
Each ticket carries a unique link or code. Staff scan it at the door to validate entry, which speeds up lines and reduces fraud.
Can one QR code work for every ticket?
For simple events you can use a single link to an info or check-in page. For paid or seated events, generate a unique code per ticket.
Do attendees need an app to scan?
No — any modern phone camera opens the link. Only the organizer's check-in scanner needs to validate codes.
