A QR code for event tickets is a unique, scannable code that contains information about the event and the ticket holder. By using QR codes from the best event management plugin like Eventin, organizers can streamline the entry process, improve security, and offer a more convenient experience for attendees.
Note: For managing your event tickets with QR code, you should know how to create registration and sell tickets first. Hence, follow the documentation also to get the complete guidance.
At Eventin, a unique QR Code can be generated for each attendee. The admin can scan to confirm the participants. In this document, we will be looking at how you can generate and manage QR Codes for event ticket management. But first, let’s see the advantages of QR Codes.
- Quick and error-free system
- Possible to track

How to Scan Event Ticket’s QR Code: #
You can scan the event ticket’s QR code with any scanner. Any scanning app for Android and iOS phones is fine to scan the tickets. You can also scan with other QR Code scanner devices that are connected to your device. You can use a wired or wireless QR Code scanner in order to scan the event’s ticket.

The event attendee verification process typically involves confirming the identity of individuals attending an event to ensure that only authorized attendees gain entry.
In Eventin, there are two ways to verify the attendee’s ticket. You can scan the attendee ticket using a QR code either automatically or manually.
