Streamlining Event Entry: How iTICKET New Zealand Enhances Access with Barcode Scanning for Tickets and COVID Credentials

CodeREADr and iTICKET have revolutionized how event tickets and COVID credentials are validated in New Zealand. Utilizing the latest barcode scanning technology with CodeREADr, iTICKET ensures quick and efficient event entry, reinforcing safety and satisfaction.

Under the COVID-19 Protection Framework, New Zealand operates with “traffic light” statuses (red, orange, and green), each dictating specific safety measures to combat the spread of COVID-19. Particularly under the “Events at Orange” status, attendees must present a My Vaccine Pass to gain entry to larger gatherings. This requirement poses a unique challenge for event organizers aiming for swift and seamless access control.

Ensuring rapid entry while adhering to COVID-19 safety protocols is crucial for attendee satisfaction. iTICKET leverages CodeREADr’s cutting-edge edge computing technology to meet this challenge. Tickets are instantly validated against an on-device database that synchronizes continuously with the cloud, allowing for uninterrupted scanning by event staff.

The iTICKET solution simplifies the validation process through the use of an integrated on-device database and the CodeREADr app. This setup enables instant verification of both event tickets and My Vaccine Passes:

• Pre-Validation: Attendees can upload their vaccine status to iTICKET’s web portal before the event, linking their health status directly with their ticket purchase. At the event, a quick scan of the ticket confirms their pre-validated status.
• On-Site Validation: For attendees not pre-validated, the scanning process includes a prompt to scan the NZ COVID Pass QR code right after the event ticket, making use of CodeREADr’s JavaScript utility to check the data against iTICKET’s API in real-time.

With iTICKET’s approach, event entry is expedited, especially when the attendee’s COVID pass is pre-validated. Even when on-site validation with CodeREADr is necessary, the process remains efficient without the need for staff to alternate between different apps. This dual-validation functionality not only enhances safety but also ensures a smoother attendee experience.

For ticketing agencies currently utilizing CodeREADr’s ticket scanning app, integrating a dual-validation script to your access control setup is straightforward. New clients can easily configure their services using our website’s service wizard or directly through our API. For assistance, both new and existing customers are encouraged to contact support@codereadr.com for step-by-step guidance on implementing the dual-validation feature.

Validating event tickets through barcode scanning, coupled with seamless COVID credential verification, positions iTICKET New Zealand at the forefront of efficient event management. This innovative approach with CodeREADr not only upholds safety regulations but also enhances patron satisfaction by reducing wait times and streamlining entry processes.
