The Ticketlab Admissions App, is a seamless solution for event admissions and attendee management. This web application is designed to streamline the check-in process for event organisers and door staff, ensuring a smooth and efficient entry experience for attendees.

The Ticketlab Admissions App is an integral part of the Ticketlab ecosystem, created to offer a hassle-free way to verify ticket holders and manage event entry with ease. Whether you’re hosting a small local event or a large-scale festival, the Ticketlab Admissions App caters to all your admissions needs.

Purpose of the App

The primary goal of the Ticketlab Admissions App is to simplify the admissions process by providing:

Efficient Check-In: Quick and easy verification of ticket holders at the event entrance.
Real-Time Attendee Management: Live tracking of attendees who have been admitted to the event.
Flexible Access Control: Allows for the setup of multiple door staff accounts with varying levels of access.

Target Users

The app is specifically tailored for two main user roles:

Event Organisers: Those who are responsible for planning and overseeing the event. They have the authority to create and manage login details for door staff, ensuring secure and controlled access to the app and event.
Door Staff: Individuals stationed at the event entry points to validate tickets and facilitate the entry of attendees. They can view attendee lists, scan QR codes, and mark attendees as present.

Through its user-friendly interface, the Ticketlab Admissions App delivers a powerful tool in the palm of your hand. Its adaptability across devices ensures that no matter where you are or what device you use, you have the full functionality to manage your event’s admissions effectively.

In the next sections, we’ll explore how to set up and navigate the app, manage user roles, and utilise its unique features to enhance your event’s success.
