Run multi-gate entry for concerts, music festivals, and outdoor events. Attendees scan a QR code, join the queue, and get notified when to move. No wristband exchange bottleneck. Powered by ScanQueue.
Set Up Festival Check-In — Free5-minute setup. No app download for attendees. Free plan available.
Three thousand people show up in the same 45-minute window before the headliner. Gate staff scan tickets one-by-one while the line stretches around the block. Attendees miss opening acts, tempers rise, and security risks increase with every minute of crowding.
Converting digital tickets to physical wristbands creates a second queue after the entry scan. Staff fumble with wristband boxes, sizes get mixed up, and VIP bands end up on GA attendees. What should take 5 seconds becomes a 3-minute interaction per person.
Guest lists get rained on, blown away, or become illegible after a few hours in the sun. Staff can't search printed pages quickly, names are misspelled, and there is no way to track how many people are currently inside the venue for capacity compliance.
ScanQueue's event check-in platform replaces slow gate processes with fast, parallel digital entry.
Place QR code signs at each entry gate. Attendees scan with their phone camera as they approach — no app download, no ticket barcode required.
Attendees join a virtual queue from the parking lot or transit stop. They get an SMS when their group is next, reducing physical crowding at gates.
Your operations team sees a live dashboard with check-in counts per gate, total venue population, and arrival rate. Open or close gates based on real data.
Once checked in, attendees receive SMS or WhatsApp notifications directing them to the nearest open gate or stage area. No more confused crowds wandering the grounds.
Run separate counters for each gate — North, South, VIP, Artist. Each gate operates independently with its own QR code while feeding into one central dashboard.
See real-time venue population across all entry points. Know exactly how many attendees are inside at any moment for fire marshal compliance and crowd safety.
Text attendees when their entry group is called, when a stage is at capacity, or when a food vendor line has cleared. Keep people informed so they explore the grounds.
Show queue status on large screens at each gate. Attendees see their position and estimated wait time without asking staff, reducing gate interactions.
Track check-in rates by hour, identify peak arrival windows, and compare gate throughput. Use data from day one to optimize staffing for day two of a multi-day festival.
Create queues, generate QR codes, and print gate signs in minutes. No hardware installation, no Wi-Fi dependency — works on mobile data. Set up the morning of the event.
Yes. ScanQueue is built for high-volume events with no upper limit on attendees. You can run multiple entry gates simultaneously, each with its own counter, and the central dashboard aggregates capacity data across all gates in real time. Festivals with thousands of attendees use ScanQueue to keep lines moving and maintain accurate headcounts throughout the day.
Yes. ScanQueue is a lightweight web application that runs in any mobile browser over 3G, 4G, or 5G. There is no app to download and no heavy assets to load. Gate staff only need a phone or tablet with a basic data connection. The system is designed for outdoor festival conditions where dedicated Wi-Fi infrastructure may not be available.
Absolutely. Create separate queues for VIP, general admission, artist pass, and media entry. Each queue gets its own QR code and its own analytics. Staff at the VIP gate only see VIP attendees, while the main gate manages GA independently. Monitor all queues from one dashboard. Learn more at ScanQueue.
Attendees point their phone camera at a QR code displayed at the gate. It opens a mobile web page where they enter their name and party size — the entire process takes under 15 seconds. No app store visit, no account creation. You can also email or text the QR code link in advance so attendees join the virtual queue before arriving, using ScanQueue's check-in system.
ScanQueue also powers check-in for conferences and expos and brand activations.
Set up digital check-in for your next festival in 5 minutes. Free plan available — no credit card required.
