Doors in minutes, not an hour

Check-in is the first thing a fan experiences at your venue. Here is how Seatfun makes it the easiest part of the night.

Scan tickets with the phone already in your pocket

No rented scanners, no proprietary hardware, no shipping cases to the venue. Open the Seatfun app, point the camera, and the ticket is checked in with a green screen and a buzz. QR codes, Apple Wallet passes, and printed tickets all scan the same way, and a duplicate or already-used ticket is flagged on the spot.

Add a scanner for the night without adding a login

Generate a scanner link, text it to tonight's door staff, and they are scanning in under a minute. No account, no password, no seat to pay for. Revoke the link after the show and it is dead. Your team members with scanner roles get the same experience from their own logins.

Sell to the walk-up line while you check people in

The same phone that scans tickets sells them. A fan shows up without a ticket, you pick their seat on the map, they tap their card, and the ticket lands in their email before they reach the door. Tap to Pay handles payment, so the line keeps moving and will call stays empty.

Seatfun has been nothing short of exceptional. We recently switched our ticketing platform for The Office Nashville over to Seatfun. Believe me when I say we’ve tried them all. Their team went above and beyond building a full website for us. They did it with speed, clarity, and a genuine care for our brand. We look forward to the growth of Seatfun. They’ve become actual partners and didnt/ haven’t treated us like “another account”. We opted for Seatfun because they’re right there on the other line within minutes to answer our questions. Communication is fast, and personal. This is a company that shows up for you. More like SeatFAM."

"We promoted live music for over 20 years and used Eventbrite since 2012, but when issues came up, it was nearly impossible to reach a real person. At one point, $20,000 in deposits were held without clear communication, and it took weeks to get answers. Since switching to Seatfun, we’ve had immediate support, daily access to our ticket revenue, and a true partner focused on improving our operations, not just selling tickets. We launched 25 shows for 2026 at once, sold reserved tables and seats, and started generating income months in advance to help cover artist deposits. Most importantly, Seatfun doesn’t promote competitor events to our attendees!”
John H., Owner at Coach's Corner

Legacy check-in vs. Seatfun

Most ticketing platforms treat the door as an afterthought. We built for it.

The old way
👎

Rented scanners that arrive the day before and die halfway through doors

👎

A separate login for every usher, or one shared password everyone knows

👎

Walk-ups sent to a different line, a different system, and a different fee

With Seatfun
✅

Scan from any iPhone your team already carries

✅

Scanner links you text out tonight and revoke tomorrow

✅

Scan and sell from the same app, same line, same screen
