Scan tickets and control access with PassPass

PassPass has a dedicated mobile app to professionally control access to your event. The PassPass Organizer app allows real-time scanning of tickets with complete traceability of entries.

Last updated : April 7, 2026

Solution 1: Manual Control via Excel Export

Traditional Method

For events without mobile equipment or those who prefer a paper version:

  • Export the list of your participants from the "Participants" tab

  • Print or view the Excel file on a tablet/computer

  • Manually check off participants upon their arrival

This method works but has limitations: no real-time updates, risk of manual errors, and no traceability of arrival times.


Solution 2: PassPass Organizer Mobile App (Recommended)

The app is completely free to download and use for all PassPass organizers.

App Download

PassPass offers native mobile apps available on smartphones and tablets via the stores:

  • App Store (iOS):

    • Search for "PassPass Organizer"

    • Direct link: PassPass Organizer App Store (IOS / Apple)

  • Play Store (Android):

    • Search for "PassPass Organizer"

    • Direct link: PassPass Organizer Play Store (Android)

The app allows you to track all key information of your event in real-time: sales, participants, orders, and especially to control access professionally.
