Guest lists are where otherwise well-run events lose control of the door. A name on a printed sheet cannot be verified, cannot be limited, and cannot tell you afterwards who actually came.
Real tickets, issued in bulk
Upload your list and generate an individual ticket for every guest, each with its own scannable code, delivered by email. Sponsors, press and performers' guests all arrive with the same thing a paying attendee has.
Why this matters at the gate
Every complimentary entry is scanned like any other. That means no duplicate entry, no arguments about who authorised a name, and an accurate final headcount.
Allocate by group
Issue against a named allocation so you can see how many of a sponsor's twenty passes were actually used, which is exactly the kind of detail that makes the post-event report worth reading.
Where to find it
Open your event, go to Guests, and choose Generate Tickets. You can send immediately or hold them and deliver closer to the date.
