We just had our first two big events. Christmas markets with free tickets, and scanning QR-codes at the entrance. We moved the site to a fast VPS with extra memory and CPU, fast internet connection on the smartphones that were scanning, but still some scans did not go well. The result is that people were inside but not scanned. Of about 1400 visitors, some 120 were not scanned properly. I instructed everyone not to be too fast with scanning the next QR-code.<\/p>\n
I think this is a weak link in the whole QR-code scanning part of Tickets Plus. I honestly think with bigger events this can never work without errors. A possible solution could be bulk scanning. We used the Quickmark app which offers this option. Scanning can be done quickly on the spot, and a list of all scans can be send to e-mail later on. If there is a way to import that list into the WordPress table with registered attendees, and automatically set everyone to checked in that was scanned, that would really be a good solution. In the real world scanning like we did now is not the best way. The result is that we now have incomplete lists and our customer don’t like that because people who dit not come (were not checked i) can now try to get a present a second time ;).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1207677","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
