The first ten minutes at the door decide how guests feel about your whole event. An event check-in app turns a printed list and a highlighter into a quick scan: the guest shows their QR code, your team scans it and they are in.
Scan tickets with any phone
Event Star's check-in scanner runs in the browser on any smartphone or tablet. Your staff sign in, choose the event and start scanning. There is nothing to install and no scanner hardware to hire.
- Instant result: a clear valid, already used or not found message on every scan.
- One scan per ticket: a ticket is marked as used, so copies are caught.
- Search by name: for the guest whose phone battery died.
- Several doors at once: every scanner updates the same live guest list.
Self check-in kiosks
For bigger events, set up a tablet as a self check-in kiosk. Guests scan their own ticket and walk in, while your staff look after VIPs and questions. Pair it with on-demand name badge printing so the badge prints the moment a guest checks in.
Live attendance numbers
See how many guests have arrived, by ticket type, while the event is running. Catering, security and room changes become decisions based on real numbers. After the event, attendance feeds straight into certificates and reports.
Session and day check-in
For multi-day events and conferences, day tickets and session attendance show who came on which day and to which talk. That matters for CPD points and for proving value to sponsors.
Part of one platform
Check-in uses the same guest list as your ticketing and registration, so there is nothing to import on the day. Read our guide to QR code check-in, or book a demo.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need special hardware to check guests in?
No. The Event Star scanner works in the browser on any modern smartphone or tablet with a camera.
Can several staff members scan at the same time?
Yes. Any number of devices can scan for the same event, and they all update one live guest list.
What happens if a guest shows a ticket that was already scanned?
The scanner shows that the ticket was already used and when, so your team can deal with it before letting a second person in.
Can guests check themselves in?
Yes. Set up a tablet as a self check-in kiosk and guests can scan their own QR code at the entrance.
