Event Access Control and Check-In

QR check in from any phone

Every Blend ticket carries a QR code, in the confirmation email, in the Blend app and in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. At the door your staff scan it with a phone camera. A valid ticket is admitted, and a ticket that was already scanned is flagged, so one code cannot let two people in.

There are two ways to scan. An organizer or team member can open Check in guests in the console. Door staff who should not have a login use the web door scanner: you issue a scanner code for the event, they type it into the scan page on their phone, and that phone becomes a door. You can revoke it at any time, and it never sees the rest of your account.

A scanner for every door, day and show

On an event with several days or several shows, each scanner is issued for a specific day or show. A day pass is admitted on its own day, a multi day pass on each of its days, and a ticket for the late show is turned away at the early one. Staff do not have to read the ticket to know.

Every scanner keeps its own log. Open one in the console to see what it admitted and what it refused, with a summary that refreshes while the doors are open, and download the scans as a CSV afterwards.

Zone readers for inner doors

The main gate decides who is in the event. A zone reader is the second scan, at the door of a conference hall, a VIP area or a backstage corridor, and it answers one question: is the pass this guest already holds the right kind for this room?

• Name a reader after the room and tick the ticket types that room admits.
• A zone scan never uses up the guest's admission, so someone checked into a room in the morning still walks in on day two.
• Guests go in and out all day. Re-entries are admitted, recorded and counted.
• Staff can find a guest by name when a phone is dead, and undo an admission made by mistake.
• Each reader shows who has come through and how many eligible guests are still expected.

Rotating barcodes against screenshots

For high demand events, turn on the rotating barcode. The QR on the ticket page refreshes on a timer, and the scanner refuses a code that has gone stale. A screenshot forwarded to a friend stops working, while the real ticket holder just opens their ticket.

Wristbands and sales at the door

Pair an NFC bracelet to a guest and the bracelet checks them in from then on. The same band can carry their cashless wallet. For guests who arrive without a ticket, Walk-in Sale turns a phone into a till that sells tickets at the door, on its own pairing code, separate from the scanners.

Entry counts you can act on

The guest list shows who is checked in and who has not arrived, and you can filter, search and export it. With scanner logs and zone reader counts next to it, the person running the event knows how full each space is without calling the door.

Access control comes with Blend ticketing. Zone readers and rotating barcodes are part of the paid plans: see how pricing works. Read how it runs for organizers in Lebanon, see concerts on Blend, create an event to try the scanner, or contact us about a multi gate setup.
