Turn any phone into a fast, reliable entrance scanner. Validate QR-code tickets at the door, prevent duplicates, and keep the line moving — even without internet.
The Hambax scanner app is included free with every account. Download it on any iOS or Android phone, hand a device to each team member at the entrance, and scan attendees in as they arrive. Every scan is validated instantly and synced across all your devices in real time, so two doors never let the same ticket in twice.
Point the camera at a ticket and the app confirms it in a fraction of a second — valid, already used, or wrong event.
Spotty venue Wi-Fi is no problem. Scan with no connection and everything syncs automatically once you are back online.
Each ticket can only be used once. Copied screenshots and forwarded tickets are caught immediately.
Run as many phones at as many entrances as you need. All of them stay in sync with a shared, live guest list.
A native free app for both platforms. Your whole team can use the phones they already own.
See how many guests have arrived in real time, right from the app and your dashboard.
Get the free Hambax scanner from the App Store or Google Play and sign in with your organizer account.
Select the event you are running tonight. Your full guest list loads onto the device.
Point the camera at the attendee’s QR code. The app validates it instantly and marks it as used.
Watch check-ins update across every device and on your dashboard as the room fills up.
Basements, festival fields, rural halls — connectivity is never guaranteed where events actually happen. That is why offline scanning is a first-class feature, not an afterthought. Validate tickets locally on the device and let Hambax reconcile everything the moment a connection returns.
A ticket scanner app is not just a convenience at the door. It is the control point that connects online ticket sales with the real attendance count. Without scanning, organizers may know how many tickets were sold, but not which tickets were actually used.
For independent organizers, this matters because door staff often work with limited time, limited training, and imperfect venue internet. A good scanner workflow should be simple enough for a helper to understand quickly and reliable enough to handle peak arrival without switching to paper lists.
Every Hambax ticket includes a unique QR code. When the scanner app reads that code, the ticket is validated against the event and marked as used. If the same code is shown again, the app can warn the door team instead of letting a copied ticket through.
This duplicate prevention is especially important when guests forward email tickets, share screenshots, or arrive through multiple entrances. The scanner gives staff a simple valid, used, or invalid result instead of forcing them to make judgement calls under pressure.
The best time to test the scanner is before the first guest arrives. Open the event, scan a test ticket, scan it a second time to confirm the duplicate warning, and make sure every device that will be used at the entrance is signed in and ready.
If the venue has weak signal, sync the event while internet is available and test the offline flow. Give each staff member a simple role: scanner, guest-list exception, or payment question. Clear roles keep the main line moving when arrival peaks.
The Hambax scanner app works best because it is part of the same ticketing workflow as the event page and checkout. The organizer does not have to export a guest list, import codes into another app, or reconcile check-ins manually after the event.
That connection is useful for small teams. The same platform that sells the ticket also sends the email and validates the QR code at the entrance. It reduces setup work and makes the door process easier to repeat for the next event.
Yes. It is included with every Hambax account at no extra cost. You only ever pay the per-ticket fee when you sell a ticket.
No. Guests simply show the QR code from their confirmation email or phone screen. The app is only for you and your team.
You keep scanning. Validations are stored on the device and sync automatically once you are back online, with duplicate protection intact.
Yes. Use unlimited devices across multiple entrances — they all share one live guest list so a ticket can never be used twice.
Create your event, sell tickets, and check guests in with the free scanner — all in one place.
