Send tickets to attendees and scan barcodes at the door. Managing your small event has never been easier! Whether it’s a concert, or private event, be the Event Ticket Hero! We collect no fees from ticket sales. Collect payment by cash or other means available to you, then use Event Ticket Hero to issue the tickets! Sending tickets electronically to ticketholders has never been easier. Share them by email, text, or social media. You can even print them through a connected printer! Administrating the event is also simple. The list of ticket holders can be sorted alphabetically or by ticket number. Attendee’s contact information can be entered in the app to allow for easy ticket distribution. It also makes it easy for you to communicate with ticket holders in the future as needed. With Event Ticket Hero Premium, you can use Dropbox to sync events and ticket lists between devices. This way, you can use a different device to scan tickets at the door than you used to create the tickets! During the event, tickets can be scanned for entrance and exit. Visual scanning feedback and optional audio feedback makes it easy to distinguish between valid and invalid entries. All ticket scanning history is stored on the device scanning tickets. To ensure a ticket is only used once for entry, it is important that a single device is used to scan tickets at the door. This also means that no internet access is required at the event! Even if your concert is in a basement or your private party is at a remote setting off the grid, you can be an Event Ticket Hero!
