The Ticketing Co. app serves both Event Organizers and Ticket Buyers. For Ticket Buyers, our app acts as an online/offline ticket wallet where your tickets are safely stored and easy to pull up whether you're connected to the internet or not! Purchasers can easily peruse through the events listed on our site using the app and with one tap be taken to the buying page. For Event Organizers, it functions as a ticket scanner and check-in app, allowing Organizers to quickly and easily verify tickets sold to their events to get their patrons into the event efficiently. Use the scanner for simple point-and-shoot verification using your phone's camera or check them in manually by searching their name, email or order number. With detailed check-in statistics, you'll always know who has arrived and how many tickets are left to be checked in. Easily add additional ticket scanners to aid your box office efforts or add friends or associates to your events guestlist directly in the app!
