What is Aztec Code for Event Tickets?
Event organisers print Aztec Code on entry tickets and passes because it packs the ticket ID, date and entry type into a compact symbol that scans fast at the gate - even when printed small on glossy stock or shown on a phone screen. The transport industry standardized Aztec for boarding passes, and events use the same robust code for entry control.
Common Uses for Aztec Code for Event Tickets
- Festival, concert and conference entry tickets
- Gate and turnstile scanning passes
- Mobile and print-at-home ticket barcodes
- Staff, press and VIP wristband-equivalent passes

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use Aztec for event tickets?
Aztec needs no quiet zone, scans from phone screens and paper alike, and tolerates damage - ideal for high-throughput gate scanning.
Can an Aztec code scan from a phone screen?
Yes. Aztec reads well from screens, which is why mobile tickets and print-at-home passes both work at the gate.
What data goes in a ticket code?
Your ticketing system defines it - typically an order ID, event/entry type and validation data. This tool generates the Aztec pattern from whatever string you enter.
Can I batch generate ticket codes?
Yes, paste each ticket ID on its own line and generate a sheet of sequential codes for your event.
