RapidScan is a cutting edge Barcode Entry system, allowing print-at-home tickets with many advanced features unavailable elsewhere

Simple, fast validation of tickets

  1. All tickets can be printed at home and contain a unique, random barcode
  2. Keep selling, even when your event has opened
  3. Every ticket presented at your event is validated in real-time to check its validity
  4. Takes the same time as tearing off a stub
  5. Scan tickets from multiple ticket outlets
  6. Automatic backup systems to ensure you can always scan, even in the event of total power/network failure
"Skiddle introduced the RapidScan system to Wickerman 4 years ago to great effect. They are a fantastic organisation to work with and understand our festival and the people who attend which allows them to tailor the system to our audience. Skiddle successfully stopped a number of people who had stolen tickets from entering the festival, whilst enabling the rest of our audience to enter the festival quickly and easily. We've never had any downtime or delays with the system."
Helen Chalmers, Wickerman Festival Organiser
