A. Event registration software all you need to know
As mentioned above, event registration software helps you get registrations easily. But that's not where it should stop. It should also be able to assist you with other jobs such as generating tickets for the guests.
It is quite normal for an event organizer to generate event tickets after receiving registrations. To do it, you'd have to head on to a ticket generation tool. This means you have to put in both extra time and effort to work on two different tools.
Hence, you need a solution that can help you do both Ticket Generator.
As the name suggests, it helps you create tickets. But that's not where it ends. It also offers a seamless way to get event registrations for nonprofits. Here's how it works:
1. You use Ticket Generator to specify event-related details such as event description, time zone, and venue
2. Next, you generate a registration link for the event. Here, you can specify the fields (such as name, email, etc.) that guests need to fill out to register
3. Next, you choose whether the registrations should be approved manually or automatically
4. Once finalized, an event registration link will be generated. You can put this link on your promotional creatives and websites for registrations
5. As people visit the link, they will register for the event. Once registration is approved, a ticket will be generated and sent to the end-user
That sounds pretty simple, right? No need to use two different tools.
To help you understand it better, here's a quick video:
B. Why choose Ticket Generator
1. A branded mobile-optimized landing page
Gone are the days when the registration forms had to be dull and boring. Today, you can customize your event registration page by adding various details. For example, description box, file, banner images, register button, and form fields.
This way, you can make your landing page look branded and personal.
2. Contactless operations
Since the pandemic, people prefer social distancing and contactless arrangements. And event registration software can help facilitate the same.
This whole process of registration is digital and hence, contactless. That means it protects both your guests and the staff alike.
Ticket Generator not only helps you create a registration form but a whole landing page. People can see this mobile-optimized landing page (just like a website).
Then, you can share it in digital promotions as a clickable link or in print media promotions via Website URL QR Codes. As end-users scan this QR Code, they'll be taken to the landing page without typing any link manually. That's another way you can ensure a seamless and contactless user experience.
In addition, Ticket Generator also allows you to automatically create event tickets against each registration.
3. A pocket-friendly choice
You know managing an event is not an easy task. It involves processes such as event registrations, ticket generation, guest validation, and attendee insights.
And often, you'd use different tools to take care of these processes. But not anymore!
Ticket Generator can help you take care of everything together. It not only helps you save time and effort but money too. How?
With Ticket Generator, you only have to pay for tickets generated while enjoying all other features for free. Moreover, the cost per ticket goes down with an increase in the overall number of tickets..
And the best part is that you don't need to buy any additional hardware or setup to validate tickets.
All that you need to do is install the ticket validator app, scan the QR Code on the ticket, and grant the entry.
This way, you can utilize your time to work on other arrangements.
4. A quick and simple process
Event registration software makes the user journey easy for both the event organizer and the attendees. How?
For an organizer, you merely have to mention event details, specify ticket design, and generate a registration link.
And the guests simply have to fill out the registration form to obtain the ticket. No need for them to even get the tickets printed.
This is a win-win situation for both the stakeholders alike.
Moreover, the tickets can be validated real quickly. All that you need to do is scan the QR Code on the ticket and grant the entry.
It doesn't take more than two seconds to see if a ticket is valid or not. Since the whole process is quick, it would ensure that there are no long queues at the entry gate. And what's even better is you can appoint multiple event coordinators to validate the tickets.
Doing this would speed up the guest validation process further.
5. Offers secure entries
Nobody wants any unauthorized guests at their event. They not only put event security in danger but also cause a loss of business.
Hence, you need a solution that ensures no trespassing. And Ticket Generator is up for the challenge. It helps you create non-profit event tickets that come with a unique QR Code for each guest. This QR Code features a unique ID encoded.
When scanned, it will reveal whether the ticket is valid, invalid, or duplicate. Here's what they'll see:
6. Monitor attendee analytics
As an event manager, you know how important it is to track event performance. It helps you gain insights into your event. This means how your event performs and what are areas of improvement?

- Total number of guests who attended the event
- Count of valid, invalid, and duplicate tickets
- Re-entries allowed
- Tickets validated per coordinator
With this data, you can better plan your future events accordingly.
7. Creates designer tickets
Do you use your event tickets solely for entry purposes? Well, not anymore. Ticket Generator allows you to create custom-designed tickets. This means you can add your brand's color and image to them. They can easily blend with the theme of your event.
This way, you can build brand recognition among your target audience.
