What is QR Code for Event Check-in?
QR check-in turns a queue into a beep: each guest carries a unique QR code on their ticket or phone, door staff scan it against the guest list, and entry takes a second. Because static QR codes can encode anything - a booking reference, a member ID, a table number - you can batch-generate codes for a whole event here, print them on tickets, badges or table cards, and run door scanning with any free QR reader app.
Common Uses for QR Code for Event Check-in
- Unique QR codes printed on event tickets
- Guest badges for conferences and weddings
- Table and zone cards scanned for seating or session tracking
- Raffle, sampling and voucher codes handed out at the door

Frequently Asked Questions
What data should an event QR code contain?
A unique reference your door team can match against the list - booking ID, ticket number or member code. Keep it short so the code stays large and fast to scan at a busy door.
How do staff scan the codes?
Any free QR scanner app on a phone or tablet works. For larger events, ticketing platforms and POS check-in apps read the same codes from the camera.
How big should a ticket QR code print?
At least 15-20mm square on the ticket with a white margin. Badge and A5-size prints can go larger, which speeds up scanning in poor light.
Can I generate 500 unique codes at once?
Yes - paste the list of booking or ticket references, one per line, and the tool generates every code as a printable batch. Use the serial number generator first if you need to create the unique numbers.
