What's New in FIRSTPRESS EVENTS
1.1.0
October 24, 2026
A new look, and a few things the door kept asking for. Undo on the scan screen now really undoes the check-in. Every refusal says why, in a sentence you can say out loud. Owners open onto the whole picture; staff open straight onto the scanner. Only the owner can admit a ticket the door refused. The guest list counts match the door: still to come, comps, all of it. Offline, the count keeps counting and tells you what has not synced. Text wraps at every size, never cut off. The home-screen name is now FP Events.

FAQ
How does FIRSTPRESS EVENTS handle ticket scanning?
FIRSTPRESS EVENTS scans tickets by pointing the phone at the QR code. A green light indicates a successful scan, displaying the guest's name, tier, and order number. It prevents duplicate scans and ensures only valid tickets are admitted.
Can FIRSTPRESS EVENTS be used without an internet connection?
Yes, FIRSTPRESS EVENTS is designed to work offline. The guest list is cached before the event, allowing ticket scanning and attendance tracking to continue even without a signal. Data syncs automatically once the connection is restored.
How does FIRSTPRESS EVENTS manage staff access?
Event owners can invite staff members via email. Each staff member receives access only to the specific show they are working on, and their access can be revoked. Door staff primarily access the scanner, while owners see financial data and have override capabilities.
What happens if a ticket is invalid or already scanned?
FIRSTPRESS EVENTS provides a reason when a ticket is refused, such as 'Already scanned' or 'Refunded.' This allows the door person to communicate clearly with the guest. The owner can override a refusal if necessary.
Is there a cost associated with using FIRSTPRESS EVENTS?
The app itself is free to use with any FIRSTPRESS show. FIRSTPRESS charges a flat fee of $1 per paid ticket sold through their platform, with no additional stacked fees. Free tickets are also accommodated at no cost.
Can I try FIRSTPRESS EVENTS before hosting a real event?
Yes, you can try FIRSTPRESS EVENTS without creating an account. The app offers a demo door feature on the first screen, allowing you to scan, admit, undo, and manually check in guests for a sample show.
What kind of information does FIRSTPRESS EVENTS provide about attendance?
FIRSTPRESS EVENTS offers a real-time count of attendees, the number of guests still expected, and the rate of arrivals. It also shows arrivals over the last two hours and breaks down attendance by ticket type, helping organizers anticipate when the line will clear.
Does FIRSTPRESS EVENTS have ads?
No, FIRSTPRESS EVENTS does not contain advertisements. The app is free to use with any FIRSTPRESS show, and the focus is on providing a seamless experience for managing event entry.
