Event organizers frequently wonder how the tickets for their event can be made counterfeit-proof. Unfortunately, they are repeatedly confronted with manipulated tickets. Especially for large events with many attendees, accompanying persons, and entry staff, a reliable system is indispensable. Classic methods include security paper, watermarks, or embossing. In times of Print-at-Home tickets these measures naturally cannot be applied. The advantages of Print-at-Home – short-notice ticket sales, a fast process for customers, and dynamic design options – convince organizers and guests, so that now approximately one-third of all tickets are sold in this format. In addition, organizers naturally focus on sustainable and cost-effective implementation: digital tickets save printing and material costs.
But how are security features implemented in digital tickets and guest lists? With AirLST, it's very simple. As soon as a guest is added to the guest list, they receive an individual, unique code. The ticket containing this code is sent to the guest via email and is available as a PDF or wallet ticket. The individual guest code is included on the ticket in the form of a QR code. Digital tickets can be flexibly adapted in design to the event's corporate design.
The advantages are obvious: Organizers save printing and material costs, each guest receives their individual ticket, and the code stored in the guest list guarantees the counterfeit-proof nature of the digital ticket. How does that work? The ticket is sent to the guest's email address, to which only they have access. At the entrance, entry staff scan the digital tickets, and the guest list synchronizes in real-time. Once the digital ticket has been scanned, the code is invalidated, and the guest is marked as present. The attendance of participants is thus recorded in real-time via scan at the entrance and constantly synchronized. Alternatively, the guest can also be searched by name and marked as checked in.
This way, the guest list cannot be tricked, for example, by trying to bring multiple people to an event under one name. No more chances for cunning party crashers who previously only needed a glimpse at the paper list at the entrance. Organizers who manage their entry with digital tickets and guest lists therefore know not only how many people have already checked in, but also who these people are. Real-time synchronization also allows for multiple entry stations where digital tickets can be scanned. This makes the entry process efficient and swift.
A digital guest list is always up-to-date thanks to data synchronization. The internal processing of the guest list is also protected by the changelog protocol, which documents every change to guest data. Flexible user rights, write and read restrictions ensure that only authorized persons can edit the guest list. This is also an advantage in terms of data protection. In summary, the security advantages of digital tickets and guest lists are:
