Ticket Validator allows event coordinators to validate tickets created using the Ticket Generator web application. Each generated ticket is equipped with a secure single-use QR Code. A QR Code is a 2D barcode that can be identified and decoded using a smartphone application. Using the Ticket Validator mobile app, event administrators and coordinators can scan the QR Code on the ticket and validate its authenticity i.e. check if the ticket is valid, invalid, or duplicate. Event administrators and coordinators will have timed access to validate tickets. Using the mobile app's quick QR Code scanning feature, event guests can be authorised quickly at the point of entry. If the administrator/coordinators are unable to scan the QR Code, it is also possible to validate tickets by entering the serial codes printed on the tickets. Please note that this mobile application is not for general use. This application is valid only for administrators of the Ticket Generator web application and invited event coordinators. To use this app, get started by creating tickets at Ticket Generator web application for your event or request an existing Ticket Generator administrator to send an event coordinator invite.

Ticketable Scanner turns any phone into a fast, reliable door for your events. It's the official check-in companion to Ticketable — built for the people working the door. Point the camera at a ticket's QR code and you get an instant green tick, the holder's name and ticket type, plus a haptic buzz and a sound — so your team keeps the line moving without a second glance. If a ticket has already been scanned, you get a clear amber warning ("Already checked in at 19:42") that informs but never blocks: your staff decide who comes in. WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL Basement venues, packed festival fields, overloaded WiFi — none of it stops the door. Download an event's guest list and the scanner runs fully offline: tickets are checked on the device, admissions are queued, and everything syncs automatically the moment you're back online. Every offline admission is clearly flagged, so nothing slips through. BUILT FOR THE DOOR - Instant QR check-in with holder name, ticket tier, haptic and sound - Re-entry warnings that inform but never block - Manual entry for damaged or unreadable QR codes - Live entry stats — how many guests are in, and the latest scan, at a glance - Recent scans list with live upload status, so you can confirm every check-in went up - Screen stays awake while scanning — prop the phone up and go - One login scans across all your events and organisations SECURE SIGN-IN Sign in with Apple or with your email and password — the same Ticketable account you use on the web dashboard. Door staff just need a team invite; there are no separate logins to manage.
