Why Mobile Ticketing?
Over 70% of event tickets are now purchased on mobile devices. Mobile ticketing means fans buy, store, and present their tickets entirely on their smartphones — no printing required. This is faster, more convenient, and more environmentally friendly.
Every ticket sold through Tickts includes a unique QR code that can be saved to Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, or simply displayed on screen at the door.
Benefits for Organisers
- Faster entry — scanning QR codes is quicker than checking paper tickets
- Fraud prevention — each QR code is unique and can only be scanned once
- No printing costs — for you or the fan
- Real-time data — see exactly who has arrived as they scan in
- Transfer support — fans can securely transfer tickets to friends
Making It Work
Ensure your event page clearly states that tickets are digital and explain how fans will receive them (via email with QR code). On event day, ensure your scanning staff have the Tickts scanner ready on their phones. The scanner works offline too, so poor signal at the venue is not an issue.
What Is Mobile Ticketing?
Mobile ticketing means your event ticket lives on your smartphone rather than as a printed piece of paper. The ticket displays as a QR code on your phone screen, which door staff scan at the venue entrance. No printing, no postage, no physical ticket to lose.
How Mobile Tickets Work on Tickts
- You buy a ticket through the Tickts website (which works on any mobile browser)
- You receive a confirmation email with your unique QR code ticket
- At the venue, you open the QR code on your phone and present it to door staff
- The QR code is scanned and validated in about one second
- If valid, you are admitted and the ticket is marked as used
Digital Wallet Integration
For even easier access, add your ticket to Apple Wallet (iPhone) or Google Wallet (Android). Your ticket sits alongside your payment cards and boarding passes, accessible with a single tap or from your lock screen. Wallet tickets work offline too — once saved, no internet connection is needed to display the QR code.
Mobile Ticket Benefits
- Always with you: Your phone is always in your pocket. A paper ticket can be left at home, lost, or damaged.
- Instant delivery: Tickets arrive in your email within seconds of purchase. No waiting for post.
- Secure: QR codes are cryptographically unique. The first scan invalidates all copies, preventing fraud.
- Updateable: If event details change, digital tickets can be updated. Paper tickets are fixed.
- Environmentally friendly: Zero paper waste.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I do not have a smartphone?
You can print your QR code ticket from the confirmation email. The printed version works exactly the same way — door staff scan the QR code regardless of whether it is on a screen or paper.
Do mobile tickets work without internet?
The QR code image on your phone does not need internet to display. The scanning device at the venue needs internet to validate the ticket. So as long as your QR code is saved (in email, wallet, or as a screenshot), it will display regardless of your internet connection.
