On-sale tickets for your fans, not for the bots
A virtual queue that orders the stampede, per-buyer limits, named tickets and a dynamic QR that expires and regenerates: every layer is designed so that reselling outside your circuit doesn't pay. Fraud isn't eliminated with a single barrier: you make it so expensive it stops being worth it.
The on-sale sells out in minutes and half the room is on resale sites.
Without protection
- Bots hoard the on-sale before the fan even reaches the queue
- Screenshots get resold as if they were real tickets
- A bearer ticket ends up at triple the price on the pavement
- Duplicates are discovered at the door, with the queue already built up
- The chargeback arrives weeks after the event
With the protection layers
- The virtual queue distributes access and cuts off automation
- The QR rotates: the screenshot expires before it reaches the door
- A named ticket only gets in with its holder or officially transferred
- Every QR validates exactly once, online or offline
- Per-buyer limits stop hoarding
Five layers between fraud and your box office
Virtual queue
In a heavy on-sale, buyers enter in order, with a session identity, instead of hammering the system all at once. The stampede stops being the attack vector.
Dynamic QR
The code rotates every few seconds: the screenshot someone resells expires before it can be used. The ticket lives on the holder's phone.
Named tickets
Every ticket carries a name. Changing the holder only works through the official channel, with full traceability; the old QR dies on transfer.
Per-buyer limits
Maximum tickets per person, per payment method and per event, with your thresholds. Stockpiling to resell stops being trivial.
Single validation
A QR gets in once. The second attempt is rejected at the door with the reason on screen, even with no signal: access control works offline.
Resale that dies outside
The only valid transfer is the official-circuit one, with your rules and your price cap. Anything bought outside is worthless paper, and audiences learn that fast.
The bot buys in milliseconds. Your system has to decide faster.
Every ticket resold outside is a burned fan and a lost data point
The damage from scalping isn't just the mark-up: it's the fan who pays triple and blames the promoter, the teenager left outside with a fake screenshot, and the line of incidents at the door. With the layers switched on, the ticket is only worth anything in its holder's hands and the extra demand comes back to your controlled resale circuit, with your fee.
Protection runs through the ticket's whole life cycle
From purchase to the door, each module adds its layer.
What you ask us about anti-fraud
How do you stop bots in an on-sale?+
With the virtual queue as the first layer: access to the purchase is handed out in order, per session, which breaks the advantage of automation, and per-buyer limits cut off hoarding. We don't publish the details of our internal signals, for obvious reasons.
What stops someone reselling a screenshot?+
The QR rotates every few seconds. The static image someone sells over WhatsApp has expired by the time it reaches the door.
Don't named tickets make entry harder?+
No: the holder gets in with their normal QR. What changes is that transferring the ticket only works through the official channel, so the name at the door always matches.
What if a genuine fan can't make it?+
They transfer their ticket through the official channel — name change and a new QR — or list it on the controlled resale under your rules. Legitimate flexibility isn't sacrificed.
Does it work with no signal at the door?+
Yes, single validation also works offline and syncs once the connection comes back.
