QRGATE
Sell tickets online and at the door, scan QR codes at entry, and manage everything from a single dashboard. Free. Self-hosted. Open source.
Everything you need to run event ticketing.
QrGate is a complete web-based ticketing system for events of any size. Guests buy tickets through a clean online shop, receive a PDF with a unique QR code, and get scanned in at the door — no app required on either side.
Administrators get a live dashboard showing real-time ticket sales, revenue estimates, and event statistics. Box office staff can sell tickets on-site. Door staff use any smartphone to scan and validate QR codes instantly.
Active in production
QrGate powers the ticketing for Helenenbühne Sattledt — a parish theater group in Sattledt, Austria. Every season, ticket sales and door scanning run entirely through QrGate.
