Each booking receives a unique QR code. Staff can scan it through an authenticated browser on a phone with a camera, without a native app or dedicated scanner.
How it works
When someone books, they receive an email with a unique booking URL and
QR code. At the event, authorised staff open the built-in scanner in
their browser and scan the code. The system validates the booking and
marks its entry for the event being scanned as checked in.
The scanner warns when a booking was already checked in or belongs to a
different event. Check-in requires a network connection to the Chobble
Tickets site. A manual name and token search is available when a camera
cannot be used. That search offers only the people still to arrive, so
nobody is checked in twice.

Event QR codes for posters
Each event also gets its own QR code SVG (at /ticket/:slug/qr) that
links to the booking page. Print it on posters, flyers, or handouts so
people can scan and book directly.
Non-transferable tickets
For events where you need to verify identity, you can mark tickets as
non-transferable and the check-in screen will prompt staff to verify
the attendee's ID against the name on the ticket.

What organisers say
"The QR system is a game changer! No more holding data on paper,
it's now all simple."
"It's super quick and efficient, plus it also means that the code is
unique to the user - so you can't have someone share a screenshot of
the QR code and scam free tickets."
"You can have as many people as you want checking people into the
event and busting those queues without stupid excel lists and print
outs."
