Entry Pass Maker: Create Secure Tickets in No Time

You are looking forward to organizing a party or an event. It could be formal or informal in nature. For example:

• Annual corporate meeting
• College graduation ceremony
• Prom party
• Fun-filled Halloween event
• Grand Christmas celebration
• New year event for a client
• Informal events such as birthday parties and anniversary celebrations

So, you want to create guest entry passes for the same. Hence, you're looking for a suitable entry pass maker.

While there are many tools that can help you create passes, there are some that let you go a step ahead. That means besides creating passes, you can also do the following:

• Make sure that you grant entry to only authorized guests
• Use passes to add to your branding effort

In this article, we will discuss how you can get entry passes that help you do everything mentioned above.

A. A hassle-free entry pass maker

This article will explain how Ticket Generator can help you create entry passes. But before that, let's see what all can it offer you:

1. Get easy registrations from the guests

Since you're organizing an event, you'd need the guests to register for it. And you may want to use a registration tool for the same.

With Ticket Generation, you get this feature by default. You can create a landing page for your event by adding all the details you need. In addition, you can also specify the form fields to be filled out by the attendees.

Once you do it, the registration page will be created. You can then share it with your audience. The best thing is that you can choose if the registrations should be approved manually or automatically.

And once a registration is approved, the guests would receive their entry passes digitally. No need to send them manually. That means a single tool will help you both get registration and create passes against them.

2. Make passes that are resistant to forgery

Unwanted guests are not really quite pleasant to have at an event. And that's the whole purpose of creating passes. With them, you'd want to grant entry to only the people who are really invited.

But the problem is most passes do not really ensure that. But you can create QR Code-based passes that will solve this issue in no time.

Yes, with Ticket Generator, each pass comes with a QR Code having a unique ID in it. As event coordinators scan it, they can clearly see if the entry is valid, invalid, or duplicate. This leaves no scope for any trespassing at your event.

3. Easy to generate and distribute passes

As the famous saying goes, if a tool is not saving you time or money, you shouldn't be using it.

Many generic tools out there help you design passes one by one. That means even if you have a design template, you'd still have to individually add the name and details of each guest. Now that is pretty much of a hassle.

But with Ticket Generator, you can create passes in bulk and yet add individual details to them. No need to worry about adding guest details individually.

In addition, you do not even need to print the passes unless you really want to. It allows you to send them straight to the guests? inboxes via email, phone, or both.

4. Branded passes with design customization

No event is complete without at least a little branding. As an organizer, you'd definitely want people to know about your or your client's business.

And event passes help a great deal with it. You can add the brand's colors and logo to the passes. Or you can use your own ready-made design and add pass details (guest name, date, description, QR Code, etc.) on it.

5. Analytics on the event performance

Once the event ends, any serious marketer and event organizer would like to see the analytics. It would not only tell you how did the event go but also what improvements to make in the future.

With tools such as Ticket Generator, you can easily get data on event performance. For example:

• How many tickets were validated
• How many tickets did each coordinator validate
• What was the peak time
• What was the count of tickets that were valid, invalid, and duplicate

With such insights, you will be in a better position to optimize your events in the future.

Now that we've talked everything about smart entry passes, let's see how to create them.
