Guest list

Event guest list management software

Run guest lists as tickets, not a group chat. Ticket types, allocations to list owners, approvals, barcodes and optional donation payments sit on the same event as accreditation. List owners manage their own guests in Team Portal.

+ Who this is for

Who runs guest list with AccredTix

Promoters and club nights

Promoter lists, DJ plus-ones and industry comps need allocations, a door that can search, and an optional donation on the ticket.

Festival guest-list managers

Artist camps and industry lists change all day. List owners should manage their own guests. You keep approvals and the door list.

Charity and fundraiser events

A donation on the guest ticket, hosted checkout, funds to the organiser. Setup is about five minutes. Card data never sits in AccredTix.

Venues handling artist and industry lists

Incoming acts get a portal for their guests. Your door staff still work from one approved list.

+ What you can run

Guest lists, barcodes and donation tickets in one module

Guest list is back-of-house ticketing for people you already know. It is not a public box office, and it should not live in a spreadsheet named "GL_final".

  • 01

    Ticket types and lists

    Create the guest-list tickets your event actually issues. VIP, industry, artist plus-ones, day lists: each type has its own allocation and barcode bank.

  • 02

    Approvals and collection at the door

    Approve, reject and collect against the live list. The door is searching a record, not a screenshot of last night's chat.

  • 03

    Barcodes, QR and delivery

    Barcode banks and QR codes go out by email, SMS or WhatsApp. Wallet passes help guests pick up or show the ticket at collection. They are not a replacement for the door workflow.

  • 04

    Allocations to list owners

    Give spaces to teams and list owners. They add guests in Team Portal, including bulk import, without a full user account.

  • 05

    Donation tickets

    Set a donation amount on a ticket type and flag which allocations require payment. After approval, the guest pays through a secure hosted checkout. The barcode is issued once paid. Funds go to the organiser.

  • 06

    Reports and payment status

    See claimed, approved, collected, paid, pending, or marked paid by staff. You can settle a donation by hand when someone paid another way.

+ How it works

How a guest list goes from allocation to the door

A short path your team can actually follow, without inventing a second process around the software.

  1. 01

    Turn on Guest List

    Keep accreditation as the base event, then enable the Guest List module when you need tickets rather than staff passes.

  2. 02

    Connect payouts and set amounts

    Connect a payout account in the app in about five minutes. Set a donation amount on the ticket types that need one.

  3. 03

    Allocate spaces to list owners

    Give teams and list owners their numbers. They add guests in Team Portal. You keep the approval queue.

  4. 04

    Approve, collect payment, scan at the door

    Approve the guest. If the allocation requires a donation they pay through hosted checkout, then receive a scannable ticket.

+ In practice

Guest lists without the group chat

The usual guest list is a note in a phone, a Google sheet, and a door person who has to decide whether "Sam +2" is real. Names arrive after the list was printed. Plus-ones are argued at the barrier.

AccredTix treats guest list as tickets. You create ticket types, allocate spaces to list owners, and let those owners add guests in Team Portal, including bulk import. Your staff approve. The door searches the live list and collects against it. The chat can go back to being a chat.

Turning guest list into donations

Some lists should be free. Some should raise money. Set a donation amount and currency on the ticket type, then mark which allocations require it. Artist comps can stay free while the industry list asks for a donation.

Connect a payout account from the ticket types page. It takes about five minutes. Guests pay through a secure hosted checkout after they are approved. AccredTix never handles the card number. The barcode is issued once the donation is paid. You can mark a ticket paid by hand if someone donated another way. Donations are metered separately from plan seats; see pricing on the homepage.

Show night at the door

Approved guests get a barcode or QR by email, and by SMS or WhatsApp when you send that way. Wallet passes can help them find the ticket at pickup. The door still works from the guest-list record: approved, collected, donation paid or still pending.

If a guest never pays, they do not get the barcode. Staff can see pending payments and chase, or collect another way and mark the ticket paid. This is not public ticket sales. It is the list you already intended to run, with a door process that can keep up.
