Guests get their ticket the moment payment is confirmed, and hear from you again before the day.

One screen. One job. Doors open.

- A check-in scanner that runs in the browser on any phone or tablet
- A door staff role that checks guests in and does nothing else
- Tickets for cancelled or unpublished events refused automatically

No overselling
When the last places go at the same moment, only the places that exist are sold.
Bot protection
Free bookings are confirmed by email before tickets are issued, and busy on-sales can add a challenge at checkout.
Two-step sign-in
Staff accounts are protected by authenticator codes.
Signed updates
The system installs only releases that genuinely come from Gatecraft.
Access by role
Door staff, managers and admins each see only what their job needs.
Export and erasure
Answer a guest's request to see or delete their data in a few clicks.
Consent per person
Mailing-list consent is recorded for each guest, and one booking never overwrites another person's choice.
Your server, your data
Guest and order details stay in your own database. They are never sent to us.
Gatecraft gives you the tools. As the organiser you decide how guests' data is used, so publish your own privacy notice alongside your events.
