Each ticket includes a scannable QR code with the event and ticket number. Change the ticket number and download again for each guest.

Running a gig, fundraiser, workshop, or community event means you need tickets - and paying a ticketing platform a fee per ticket is overkill for a small event. This generator builds a clean ticket with the event details and a scannable QR code, then exports a print-ready PDF or PNG. Each ticket carries its own number and a QR code you can scan on the door to check it in. Everything runs in your browser, with no fees and no account.

Example

Fundraiser tickets

Event: Charity Quiz Night, Type: General Admission, date and venue filled in, price 10 dollars. Set ticket number 001 and download, then 002, 003, and so on. On the night, scan each QR code at the door to check guests in.

Workshop pass

A workshop host adds the attendee's name as the ticket holder and a unique number per seat. The QR code encodes the event and ticket number, so a quick scan confirms the pass is genuine at check-in.

Common use cases

  • Small gigs, club nights, and community events selling door tickets
  • Fundraisers and charity events needing numbered tickets
  • Workshops, classes, and meetups issuing seat passes
  • Pop-up dinners and supper clubs with limited covers
  • Raffles and prize draws needing numbered, scannable stubs

Common mistakes

  • Reusing the same ticket number - give each ticket a unique number so the QR codes differ and you can track entry.
  • Printing too small - the QR code needs a reasonable size (at least 2cm) to scan reliably on the door.
  • Forgetting the date or venue - attendees rely on the ticket for the details; fill them in.
  • Not testing the QR code - scan one before printing the full batch to confirm it reads.

Frequently asked questions

What does the QR code contain?

The QR code encodes the event name, ticket type, and ticket number. Scanning it with any phone camera shows that information, so you can confirm a ticket is for the right event and check the number against your list at the door.

How do I make a batch of numbered tickets?

Set a ticket number, download, then change the number and download again for the next one. Each download has its own number and a matching QR code. There is no limit because it runs in your browser.

Can I check tickets in at the door?

Yes. Scan each QR code with a phone camera to read the event and ticket number, then mark it off your guest list. For larger events you may want a dedicated scanning app, but for small events a phone camera is enough.

What size do tickets print at?

The PDF exports as A5 landscape, which prints cleanly on its own or two per A4 sheet. The PNG is a high-resolution image of the same ticket for sharing digitally.

Is my event data uploaded?

No. The ticket and QR code are generated entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent to a server, stored, or shared.

Can I personalise each ticket with a name?

Yes. Add the ticket holder name in the optional field and it appears on the ticket. Leave it blank for general-admission tickets that anyone can use.
