Scan results

What green, yellow and red mean in the scan app, which messages there are and what staff should do in each case.

After every scan, the scan app shows the result across the whole screen: a colour, a word, a sentence about the reason and the ticket below. There's sound and vibration too, so staff know right away what's going on, even in a crowd.

Green: come on in

Green result Valid, Let in with the ticket type Admission, name, order number and ticket code, and the Keep scanning button

Green moves on by itself after one and a half seconds. If staff still need to check proof or a photo, the result stays up until they tap Keep scanning.

Common questions

Red, but the guest says they bought a ticket

Use Search in the scan app to look for their name or the order number from the confirmation email: Find tickets. If search finds nothing, the order most likely belongs to a different event.

Can I let someone in anyway on red?

Not in the scan app. Red means the ticket isn't valid here. Sort it out with the guest, for example by looking at the order in the dashboard.

From when until when is a ticket valid at the door?

  • Ticket for one date: all day on the date, in the event's local time, until four hours after the end. That way parties running into the morning work too.
  • Time slots: from 15 minutes before the slot starts, then until the end of the slot or all day, depending on the event's setting. See Time slots.
  • Pass: once on each of its dates, each time like a ticket for that date.
  • Multi-entry card: until it expires and as long as entries are left, only on the selected dates if you chose any.
  • Season ticket: on every date that's part of the season ticket. See Season tickets.

How to set this up per ticket type is explained in What a ticket is valid for.

Why doesn't green always move on by itself?

Because staff need to check something, such as proof or a photo. The result then stays up until someone taps Keep scanning.

Where can I see later what was scanned?
