Event Espresso 4 Ticketing features are added with two add-ons
The EE4 Ticketing add-on adds the ability to generate tickets with bar codes
The EE4 Barcode Scanning add-on adds the ability to scan ticket bar codes
The add-ons are available to download from the Pre-Release Channel
The add-ons require Event Espresso 4.5-beta or greater
Pre Release access is available to current EE3 ticketing license holders
We will be adding ticketing to the demoee.org site as another demo option
The Ticketing add-on adds the ticketing message type to Event Espresso 4 which includes the ability to customize tickets that people will receive for the events
You can create templates for various styles of tickets and assign them to whatever event you want to use that template for
Multiple bar code types are included for handling check-in scans at the door
People can either print out their tickets or display them on their mobile devices
The barcode scanner can be used for checking in or checkout out attendees
The scanner add-on will work with any barcode that contains the special encoded registration_url_link
If the barcode is not readable or a scanner not available, there’s a fall back where a form can be input for manual code entry without a scanner
The barcode scanner add-on works with most USB or BlueTooth handheld scanning hardware
The scanner interface looks like this:
The printable tickets look like this:
After beta testing is done, these add-ons will be available for purchase
