Hello Team

I’m at a bit of a loss where to start implementing the best way to scan tickets at our Guildford Beer Festival event and would really appreciate a point in the right direction from you guys please.

We have been using EE3 for 4 years now, and to date, we used the mobile app (on iPad) to scan a few of our tickets. It was just too slow and cumbersome to scan or check more than just a very few.

This year, we are on EE4 and I have big hopes that we can scan all our tickets.
So, your help please.

Our event is held in marquees in a field. The only infrastructure we have is power. So we are reliant on mobile data to reach the server.

What do you think would be better:

1 x pc hotspotting off a mobile phone and then bar code readers attached (how?) to (what?).

or

we use the EE4 mobile app on iPad / phones.

I’m printing both bar code ad the QR code on the tickets, so we have a choice.

Am I right in saying that barcode / reader might be faster because there is less data to read than in a QR code?

We only want to check people in. But it needs to be reasonably instantaneous.

Here’s some info for you:
WordPress Version: 4.9.4

PHP Version: 5.6.31-4+wpengine10

MySQL Version: 5.6.39

Event Espresso Version: 4.9.57.p

Site address (URL): https://guildfordbeerfestival.co.uk

If you need to know how much memory allocated on the server, please tell me where I can find that info & I’ll get it for you. TY

Thank you for your thoughts. Much appreciated.
