Sell the show, then run the door.
Race weekends, torchlight parades and fireworks in winter; concerts, festivals and bike races in summer — priced in tiers, sold online and at the window, and admitted once each.
- Advance and gate pricing on the same event
- One tier sells online and at the till, automatically
- Once per guest, enforced at the door
An add-on module, on top of the base plan.
Tiers that open and close on their own
Each tier has its own price, capacity and sale window. Advance pricing closes and gate pricing opens without anyone remembering to change anything.
- Creating a tier creates the matching product, so online and the window are literally the same thing
- A closed tier at the till refuses with a reason rather than vanishing — the cashier reaches for the gate price instead of reporting a broken register
- Capacity is counted, and age limits are enforced
The door is a mode, not a hope
A scanner is put into event mode on the server, and it stays there. A reload, a software update or a power blip cannot quietly drop the gate back to normal ticket checking halfway through a queue.
- Per-day door windows applied within each running day, including doors that cross midnight
- "Not started", "ended" and "outside the window" are three different messages
- A second scan of the same admission shows a loud duplicate screen naming the first terminal and time
Publishing and cancelling are deliberate acts
An event moves draft → published → cancelled. Cancelling pulls every tier's product from sale and invalidates the tickets already issued, in one action — because the night you have to cancel is not the night to be clicking through twelve screens.
Admissions validate against the on-site database, so the door keeps moving through an outage.
How that worksReports, and all of them export
Online buyers get a pickup QR code, not a printable ticket. Staff scan it and the real ticket prints on site — which is what stops a screenshot being passed around a car park.
It doesn't run on its own
One customer record, one employee record, one set of reports. These are the parts of the system this one touches most.
