EventDay Features…
EventDay CheckIn
The TicketSignup Tickets App is your key to a seamless event day. Allow your volunteers or staff to check in attendees in an instant with a QR scan or name search, and get attendees in the door in no time.
On Site Sales
Sell tickets, merch, and add-ons on site with quick purchase QR Codes or through the Ticket App via our integration with Square. Keep ticket and item inventory synced with online sales.
Sell & Redeem Items
Automatically include add-ons with tickets (i.e. VIP beers) and redeem on site with the Tickets App. Use the same app to sell more items on site.
Attraction CheckIn
Have multiple attractions or experiences within your event? The Ticket App lets you do secondary check-ins for attractions that are included or added on to a purchase.
Download the TicketSignup Tickets App
Whether you want the TicketSignup App for CheckIn or on-site purchase through Square (or both), it’s free to download and use.
A Better EventDay Experience
Improve the on-site experience for your team and attendees alike.
Keep Ticket Sales Open
Encourage continued ticket purchases by leaving ticket sales open online until the event begins – and add signage to suggest purchasing from the parking lot.
- QR codes are automatically created to help you drive potential attendees to your website or purchase path
- Quick Text provides another option for potential attendees to link directly to your purchase path
- The Tickets App syncs with TicketSignup data continuously – so the parking lot purchaser will show in the CheckIn process by the time they get to the door
Sell Tickets On Site
Enable the Square integration on the TicketSignup Tickets App to allow ticket sales on-site, in seconds.
- Allow credit card payments through Square or indicate cash payments
- Automatically connects to your ticket caps set in TicketSignup to ensure you never over-sell your capacity
- Generates sales tax reports to accurately and easily remit sales tax for point of sale ticket purchases
CheckIn Attendees in Seconds
Eliminate lines and improve the CheckIn process for your staff or volunteers with CheckIn through the TicketSignup Tickets App on any iOS or Android device.
- Check in attendees in seconds with the scan of a ticket QR code or a quick search for the purchaser or ticket holder’s name
- Check in all tickets from a purchase together or leave some tickets unchecked for attendees coming later
- For tickets with multiple entrances (like a multi-day music festival), enable multiple check-ins from a single ticket or allow each ticket to be checked in once within a set time range (like one check-in per 24 hours).
How to Add Your Event to the Ticket CheckIn App
The Tickets App for Fulfillment and Attractions
Check-in is for more than just tickets. With the Tickets App, you can track and manage the on-site flow of attendees, merch, and more.
- Fulfill pre-purchased store items like merch or beverages with a quick scan
- Check attendees into specific attractions after the gate, such as a haunted roller-coaster and a spooky forest within your haunt
- Use separate configurations to give staff only the information they need, such as a front gate configuration to check-in tickets and a merch table to manage shirts
- Upsell attendees with merch and experiences after their initial purchase — the additional items are linked to the purchasers initial QR code for easy access
Event Day Stats
Create a better staffing plan and ensure an efficient event day with ample data at your finger tips.
- Easily access real-time stats from your laptop or mobile device to track how many tickets have been checked in (and how many remain)
- View check-ins by intervals of 5 minutes to an hour to get a granular view of how on-site traffic ebbs and spikes
- See calendar-based check-in stats for timed entry events to understand your historical trends and current status
Bad Weather? TicketSignup makes it easy when you need to cancel an event or specific date
- Let attendees move their tickets to a different date that works for them, for free!
- If you need to issue refunds, TicketSignup makes it free and easy with a single click. No need to manage refunds from a separate merchant account;
“Hurricane Ian closed us on September 30th. It rained 4.5 inches that day, so we called it around 2pm. We sent an email out to everyone that had a ticket allowing them to switch to a different night. To enable this, we removed the setting to pay the difference between this and every other night – and the 30th was a $30 night. Then, we gave them 48 hours to switch to another night, including peak nights, for no additional cost.
A lot of them did and a lot of them didn’t. But after those initial 48 hours, they paid the upcharge and they did it gladly because they had been given the opportunity. They used the self-serve transfer, and it went amazingly.
99% of people who used the self-serve option didn’t have any questions. When we did get a call, we just told them “Click on the Manage Tickets button, and you’ll be good to go”. Even the most technologically challenged people could do it. We finished the season and just 15 of the September 30th tickets remained un-transferred. Everyone else transferred their own tickets using TicketSignup’s self-serve option. Very, very seamless and easy. If that had happened last year, it would have been at least 10 hours of customer service work even though we’d give them a credit. Self-transfers took a lot off our plates.“
– Brian Garff, The Haunted Forest at Panic Point

Walking in a Winter Wonderland
The Walking in a Winter Wonderland event is hosted by Frederick county Parks & Rec. They immediately leveraged TicketSignup’s free websites. “I’m fairly tech savvy but I’m not a coder and I don’t have a marketing background. It’s really easy to use the Website Builder,” said Ashley Ferguson, Program Supervisor.
