Entry points & scan lanes
Entry points model your doors: Main Entrance, VIP Door, Backstage. Each scanning device works a lane, and the lane decides which tickets it admits.
What an entry point is

An entry point belongs to one event (On-site → Entry points) and represents a physical gate. Pairing a Scanner device happens at an entry point — the device scans for that gate, and every scan records which gate admitted whom.
Ticket allowlists
Each entry point can allow all ticket types or a selected list. A VIP Door that allows only VIP tickets hard-denies a general ticket — full-screen red, with “wrong entry point” as the reason — online and offline alike. That’s the whole VIP-queue problem solved in configuration.
How lanes pin devices
- A Scanner device is paired to one entry point, which pins it to one event — there is no event picker on the door, so a volunteer can’t scan the wrong show.
- Only Box Office devices choose between events, and even they work one at a time.
- Every paired device shows a short tag (like “AB12”) on screen, matching its row in the console — so you revoke the right phone.
