A multi-day festival implemented our scanning app to manage large entry rushes and prevent ticket fraud:
"We used to have lines stretching for blocks. With Ticket Fairy's scanning app, we processed over 8,000 entries per hour during peak times. The best part was the offline mode that kept the gates running when our network got overloaded." - Festival Operations Director
A business events company implemented our ticket scanning solution across their entire event portfolio:
"The analytics dashboard gives us real-time visibility into our check-in process. We can see exactly how many attendees have arrived, which entry points are busiest, and immediately identify any issues. Our staff training time has been reduced from hours to minutes because the app is so intuitive." - Event Technology Manager

I used to look at ticketing platforms as a commodity, until I found Ticket Fairy. Finally there was a platform that didn't just get the job done, but helped me get the job done better. By which I mean, helped me sell more tickets.
Their integrated customer referral system is magic, direct backend integration with Meta APIs, and our ability to customize our ticketing pages with rich content like videos, GIFs, background skins, and more helped increase our conversions significantly.
In the past I felt we had great promotion value on our digital ads, but it ended the moment people clicked to our ticketing site. With Ticket Fairy, the vibe we are pushing, the experience we are selling, is maintained throughout.
A sophisticated and powerful ticket and marketing system that remains incredibly intuitive and easy to use.

Our scanning app is compatible with iOS (iPhone, iPad) and Android devices. It's optimized to work on both smartphones and tablets, giving you flexibility in your hardware choices. We recommend devices with good cameras for optimal scanning speed. The app requires iOS 12+ or Android 7.0+ for the best performance and security features.
Our offline mode is one of the most robust in the industry. Before your event, the app downloads the complete ticket database to each device, including validation rules and access permissions. During operation, the app can scan and validate tickets without any internet connection. Each device maintains its own record of scanned tickets, and when internet connectivity is restored (even briefly), the devices automatically sync with our central database and with each other to prevent duplicate entries. This system works flawlessly even at remote venues with poor connectivity, ensuring your event entry never stops because of network issues.
Our scanning system has multiple layers of fraud prevention. When a ticket is scanned, the app immediately checks its validity against our secure database. If the ticket has already been scanned, the app displays a prominent warning with details of when and where it was first used. For sophisticated counterfeits, our system verifies cryptographic signatures embedded in each ticket code. The app also shows staff the ticket holder's name and ticket type for additional verification. All potential fraud attempts are logged with timestamps and scanner ID. For high-security events, we offer additional verification options like ID matching and photo validation to ensure only legitimate ticket holders gain entry.
Our scanning system can process an extremely high volume of entries. A single scanner can validate 10-15 tickets per minute, which translates to 600-900 entries per hour. With multiple scanners, the throughput scales linearly—10 scanners can handle 6,000-9,000 entries per hour. The validation process itself takes less than 0.3 seconds, with most of the time being spent on physical ticket presentation and any additional security procedures you may implement. At large-scale events, we've successfully processed over 30,000 attendees in under 2 hours using coordinated scanning stations. The system's performance remains consistent regardless of your total ticket count, whether you're managing 100 or 100,000 attendees.
