Event Ticket QR Code
Generate QR codes for event tickets, conference badges, and check-in. Create unique codes linking to attendee information.
Streamlined event check-in
QR codes on tickets and confirmation emails enable fast, contactless check-in. Attendees show their QR code, staff scan it, and the system verifies their registration. This eliminates paper ticket lines and manual name lookups.
Implementation approaches
For simple events, generate a unique QR code for each attendee linking to a confirmation page with their name and ticket type. For larger events, encode a unique ticket ID that your check-in system can validate. The QR code can contain a URL, a plain text ID, or a JSON payload with attendee details.
Tips for event organizers
Use error correction level H for tickets that may be displayed on cracked phone screens. Ensure the QR code works at the brightness level of a typical phone screen — some scanners struggle with very dim displays. Include the attendee name in plain text alongside the QR code as a visual fallback.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prevent ticket sharing or duplication?
A static QR code alone cannot prevent duplication. For that, you need a backend system that tracks which codes have been scanned. The QR code serves as the identifier; the validation logic lives on your server.
What format should I use for ticket QR codes?
For simple events, a URL linking to the attendee confirmation page works well. For larger events with check-in systems, encode a unique alphanumeric ticket ID as plain text.
