Sample Ticket
We generate both 1 dimensional (1D) and 2D bar codes on our tickets. The 2D barcodes are QR codes. A Quick Response (QR) code is a two-dimensional code that can be scanned by smartphone cameras to automatically pull up text, photos, videos, music and URLs. These codes have become mobile-friendly ways to point people in the offline space to online resources. It's a great way to verify someone that holding a ticket is valid - and to track that they showed up for the event.
