Common problems

Missing messages, expired orders, payments that did not go through.

My tickets did not arrive
Open your order page: your tickets are listed there. Check that the phone number on the order is right. The organiser can resend your tickets from their dashboard.
My order expired
The ten-minute hold ended before payment arrived. Go back to the buy page and start a new order.
My payment was declined
Check your MoMo balance or card, then tap Pay on your order page to try again while the hold is still running.
We are sorry, these tickets sold out
Your payment arrived just after the last tickets were taken. The order page shows the amount that will be refunded to you.
The gate says Already used
Someone has already entered with this ticket. Speak to the organiser at the venue.

Scanning at the gate

Scanning tickets at the gate

Check tickets from your own phone's browser. You need no account and no app store: the organiser sends you a link for your gate.

Add the scanner to your home screen

Keep the scanner one tap away, full screen like an app.

Open your gate link first, then add it while the scanner is on screen.

Android (Chrome)
Tap the ⋮ menu, then Add to Home screen.
iPhone (Safari)
Tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen.

Scan with the camera

Point at the QR code; the result fills the screen.

  1. Step 1: Allow camera access when your phone asks.
  2. Step 2: Hold the QR code inside the frame. The scanner reads it on its own.
  3. Step 3: Read the result, then tap the screen to scan the next ticket. The result also clears after a few seconds.
  • In the dark, tap Light in the corner of the camera to turn on your phone's torch. It shows on phones that support it.
  • If the screen says Camera access is blocked, tap the lock or camera icon in the address bar, allow the camera for this site, then tap Try the camera again.

Type a ticket code

For a cracked screen, a dim phone or a printed code.

  1. Step 1: Ask the guest for the code on their ticket or SMS, for example K7QM-3XRD.
  2. Step 2: Type it into Ticket code below the camera.
  3. Step 3: Tap Check. The result appears the same way as a camera scan.

What the results mean

Green to admit, gold or red to stop.

Admit (green)
The ticket is valid. The holder's name and ticket type are shown. Let them in.
Already used (gold, Stop)
This ticket was scanned before. The screen shows when and at which gate. Do not admit; call the organiser if the guest disputes it.
Not valid for this event (red, Stop)
The ticket is for a different event, or it is not a real ticket. Ticket cancelled means the organiser cancelled it.
Unknown code (red, Check)
Your phone does not have this ticket yet. Tap Sync now and scan again. Tickets bought minutes ago need a sync.

Working offline and syncing

Keep scanning with no signal; scans upload when you reconnect.

Tickets are checked on your phone, so scanning keeps working with no signal. The badge at the top shows Online or Offline.

Admitted
Guests admitted from this phone.
To sync
Scans waiting to reach the organiser. They upload when you are back online.
Tickets
Tickets loaded on this phone.
Synced
The time of the last successful sync.

The scanner syncs on its own every few seconds while online. Tap Sync now to sync straight away, for example before doors open or after a dead zone.

Clear the device after the event

Remove the event's tickets and your gate link from this phone.

  1. Step 1: Make sure To sync shows 0, so every scan has reached the organiser.
  2. Step 2: Scroll to the bottom and tap Clear this device.
  3. Step 3: Tap Delete to confirm, or Keep to go back.
