Ticketing & gate control EventIX

Sell tickets on every channel. Scan them at the gate.

An event ticketing platform that sells online, through agents and over USSD, issues QR e-tickets, and lets gate staff admit attendees from an ordinary phone.

Event organisers sell through whoever can reach buyers - a payment link, agents with cash, people on feature phones - and then have to reconcile it all at the gate on the night, usually by hand.

We treated every sales channel as a source of the same ticket. However a ticket is bought, it becomes one QR record that the gate can check, and one line in the organiser's reports.

Organisers create events with ticket categories, pricing and capacity limits. Buyers pay by card or Mobile Money online, through agents and affiliates whose sales are tracked, or through a USSD flow. Every ticket is a QR e-ticket that gate staff scan from a phone, and attendance and financial reports follow the event.
