I feel like this might be super dumb question – but can our teachers use their phones to scan students tickets instead of having to buy all our teachers special scanning guns? We’d like to use this to track attendance obviously. AND as a side benefit, force our dumbass students to actually read their emails. Without the QR code, they don’t get in the door = to get the QR code they have to look at their email. This solution would kill two birds with one stone for us. It’s just that QR code scanners are expensive if you have to buy a bunch of them.
Thanks again guys!

Hi Shelly,
Yes, they can use their phones using our apps:
Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eventespressohd.android&hl=en
iOS:
https://apps.apple.com/ee/app/event-espresso-4/id1095432613
Details here: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/mobile-apps/
Is that what you are looking for?

Maybe? The teachers get this app on their phones, and the students get the QR code and Bob’s Your Uncle? I mean… that information is then stored in the app?

Not stored in the app no.
The apps communicate with the site itself, in the same way the barcode scanner add on would.
So you open the app, log into the site with the usual credentials for the site (NOT your EventEspresso.com credentials).
Then you can scan barcode/QR codes and the app pings the site to confirm the scan etc. You can do a check-in on the registrant to show attendance etc.

Hi there! This is so exciting! Thank you!
I see that I need to upgrade to a “Event Espresso Business or Developer Support License” in order to get and install the json plugin to make this work. How much does that cost and how do I upgrade? We have the EE Everything License currently.

No, you don’t need to upgrade. The Everything license is a license that gives you access to everything 🙂
The reason you’re getting confused is that I’ve made a schoolboy error and linked you to the EE3 docs! You don’t need a JSON Add-on (that’s for EE3) it’s all built into Event Espresso 4+ out of the box.
Here is the link for the EE4 docs: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/ee4-event-apps/
Pretty similar in terms of what you need to do, but no add-on and an app specifically for EE4+
