Delivery Methods
As a client of HoldMyTicket you now have full control over multiple delivery methods available to your patrons. This feature allows you to choose what ticket delivery methods are available to your customers when checking out.
You can have one or all of the following for each event:
Will Call – Ticket buyers will have their names on a list and will gain entry to your event using a photo ID. HMT supports printable will call lists as well as digital lists for laptops and smartphones.
E-Tickets – Buyers will print their tickets themselves and will gain entry by having the ticket scanned. Every E-Ticket has a unique barcode and QR code which can be scanned using a variety of scanners. HMT provides a mobile E-Ticket that displays a QR code on the buyer’s smartphones!
Credit Card Validation – A greener solution, your patrons will not have printed tickets. They will gain entry by bringing the credit card they used to purchase their tickets. HoldMyTicket’s free mobile app WeGetIn® allows you to swipe the credit card to validate entry!
