Digital solutions for ticketing systems
Today, ticketing systems exist in a wide range of industries, but systems are constantly changing as digitization increases. From selling and distributing tickets in paper or cardboard form, many cultural institutions and businesses now use digital ticketing systems managed by major portals. Here, buyers can download their tickets to their smartphones and only need to bring their mobile phone to the event, where the ticket is scanned with barcode scanners and registered directly via a QR code on the mobile screen.
Not only do the ticketing systems keep up with the development, they also save many environmentally heavy resources in the form of paper for the tickets, envelopes for shipping the tickets, etc. Thus, digital ticketing solutions also contribute to a more sustainable way of handling ticket sales. However, in most places it is still possible to bring a printed ticket in paper form, which can then also be registered in the traditional way.
At Delfi Technologies, we have a good selection of products and solutions for ticketing systems; whether your company has a fully digitized ticketing system or you still handle physical, paper-printed tickets, which we have compiled in a guide for you below.
Barcode scanners for tickets
Whatever your business or institution, a barcode scanner is a great tool for scanning and registering your customers’ tickets. At your checkout or check-in station, you can connect a wireless or wired barcode scanner to quickly and efficiently assist your existing booking system.
The DelfiScan M81 is a wireless barcode scanner that can read 1D/2D barcodes as well as QR codes. The wireless feature makes it super flexible to scan outside the checkout area and lasts up to 14 hours on one charge. Whereas the wired DelfiScan C81 reads the same types of codes and you are always guaranteed a ready-to-scan barcode scanner.
Handheld terminal/PDA for tickets
Another great tool for scanning and registering tickets is a handheld terminal/PDA, which is definitely a frontrunner on the digital path of ticket management. If you’re hosting a concert or running a movie theater, a handheld terminal will be an indispensable tool for your employees to register your customers and at the same time give them information about seating, for example, when you also connect your own ticketing software to the PDA.
Label printer for tickets
Knuthenborg Safari Park uses pre-printed tickets that they can print additional text on themselves with the Citizens label printer CL-S521II. The printer is suitable for printing Direct Thermal labels, which are often used for labels or labels with a short lifespan, which also applies to the durability of tickets. If you need to be able to customize the text on your tickets by season or event, this solution is also ideal for you.
