The ticket scanner app for school events

Your gate staff scan tickets and passes, sell at the gate and look fans up from their own phones. Free for iPhone and Android.

Tell us about the school, club, or organization you run.

SpiritSwipe is free ticketing and concessions software for high schools and booster clubs: online tickets, season passes, a free gate app for iPhone and Android, and weekly payouts. Schools pay nothing; fans pay a small service fee.

A clear answer, every scan

Green for in. A plain reason when a ticket won't work.

No signal? Keep scanning.

Tickets are saved on the phone when you open the game, so the gate keeps moving when the signal drops.

Every ticket for the game is saved on the phone, encrypted.

Refunded and transferred tickets are still turned away, and the same phone won't let a ticket in twice.

Check-ins upload on their own when the signal is back, or tap Sync now.

Lookup works with no signal too. Selling needs a connection.

Everything your gate needs

For the gate, walk-up sales and concessions.

One scan, they're in. Tickets and season passes, scanned with the phone's camera. Green for in, with a sound and a buzz.

Undo a scan. Scanned the wrong ticket? Tap Undo on it in the recent scans list.

No QR code? Look them up.. Search the name or email on the order, then admit one ticket or the whole order.

Sell at the gate. Cards on a Stripe card reader (sold separately), a QR code fans pay on their own phone, or cash.

Concessions, too. Sell food, drinks and merchandise from the same app.

Several games at once. Scan a doubleheader in one go. Each result names the game the ticket is for.

Type a code. Screen won't scan? Type the 8-character code from the ticket.

Built-in flashlight. Turn on the phone's light to scan at a dark gate.

Receipts with no typing. Fans scan a QR code for their receipt and can email themselves a copy.

Your staff, your rules. Add gate staff as Gate Attendants. They scan and sell, but can't see your revenue, payouts or reports.

No app? Use the fan's phone

Hold the QR code on the fan's ticket, enter your school's gate PIN, and they're in. For volunteers without the app, or bright sun that stops a scan.

One 4-digit PIN for your whole school. Change it whenever you like.

Send it to your team by email, or share it from the game page.

Check in one ticket, or the whole group at once.

Only someone with your PIN can check a ticket in, and each one is marked "Gate PIN" in your records.

Off until you turn it on in Settings.

See who's in, live

The count, and the share of tickets scanned, updated every few seconds.

Arrivals by the minute, with an estimate of when the line will clear.

Every phone's scans in one feed, showing who scanned each one.

Ready by kickoff

Get the app. Free on the App Store and Google Play.

Add your staff. Invite them as Gate Attendants from Settings › Team.

Open tonight's game. The tickets download to the phone, and you're ready to scan.

Questions

Does the app cost anything? No. It's free on iPhone and Android, with no monthly fees. The only thing you might buy is a Stripe card reader, to take cards.

Which phones does it work on? iPhones and iPads on iOS 15 or later, and Android phones on Android 8 or later.

What if we lose signal? Scanning and lookup keep working from the tickets saved on the phone, and check-ins sync on their own when the signal returns. Open each game once with signal before the gates open. Selling needs a connection.

Can several phones scan at once? Yes. Every phone's check-ins add up on the Attendance screen. With signal, a ticket scanned at one gate shows “Already checked in” at the next.

Do we need special scanners? No. The app uses the phone's camera. To take cards, pair a Stripe Reader M2 over Bluetooth.

Can volunteers see our money? No. Gate volunteers can scan and sell, but they can't see your revenue, payouts or reports.

Do fans need the app? No. Fans' tickets arrive by email and open in any phone browser. Only your staff use the Gate app.

What if we get stuck? Our team sets up your account and your school's page with you. After that, SpiritBot answers how-to questions right in your dashboard, and you can always email support@spiritswipe.com.
