Speed up your queue handling using a barcode scanner

Do you want a fast and effective way of validating tickets on the door at your events?

TicketSource Express is a free companion application to the TicketSource web site that lets you use your Windows or Mac computer with an attached barcode scanner, or your iPhone/iPod touch* or Android device's camera to quickly scan and validate your customers' tickets (thermal tickets, mobile tickets and e-tickets)

No barcode scanner? No problem!

We can supply you with a compatible barcode scanner to use with TicketSource Express for Windows and TicketSource Express for Web that you simply plug in to your Windows or Mac desktop or laptop computer. Alternatively, you can enter the six digit booking confirmation number directly via your keyboard.

TicketSource Express for iPhone, iPod touch and Android requires no barcode scanner at all. You simply use your device's camera to scan and validate tickets.

*TicketSource Express for iPhone available from Apple's App Store

The intelligent software ensures that booking confirmations can't be scanned more than once, preventing unauthorised entry to your event.

Unrecognised booking confirmations are also visibly and audibly rejected. The software provides you with at-a-glance status updates on total, admitted and remaining tickets.
