Thinking ticketing and events the anny way
With ticketing, anny maps the entry process digitally. The central principle: every event or course is a resource with limited capacity, every ticket sold a booking with a QR code, and the Check-In terminal at entry checks validity.
Participants book through the booking area (booking page, widget or app). You manage everything in the admin area (resources, bookings, displays, occupancy).
Step-by-step setup
1
Create a resource
Open Resources and create a resource for the venue (e.g. “Hall A” or “Workshop room”). Under Availability, set it to Multiple availability and set the number to the maximum participant capacity. Under Check-In, enable check-in.
2
Create a booking option
Create one or more booking options as ticket types (e.g. “Standard ticket” with a fixed duration by schedule). Configure the price (free or paid) and set Automatically accept all bookings.
3
Configure forms for participant data (optional)
If you want to ask for participant data only at entry (e.g. dietary preferences for the workshop catering), create a custom form and set the query time to Later (at check-in).
4
Set up the terminal
Set up a Check-In terminal according to Set Up a Check-In Terminal. Choose the mode Check-In. For events with free entry and walk-in visitors, alternatively: Personalized registration and Check-In, so participants can also register spontaneously on-site.
5
Set the check-in period
Under Resource > Check-In, configure the check-in period (e.g. from 30 minutes before the event start). This way entry opens only shortly before the event.
6
Test
Create a test booking, check whether the QR code ticket is sent by email, and scan it at the terminal. Check whether the check-in is confirmed and the capacity is reduced correctly.
