Run your entire ticketing workflow inside WordPress. No platform service fees, no per-ticket commissions — you only pay your payment processor (Stripe, PayPal, etc.) like any WooCommerce product.
Event Tickets with Ticket Scanner turns any WooCommerce product into a scannable event ticket — complete with QR code, downloadable PDF, and a built-in mobile ticket scanner for your team at the door.
Unlike ticketing platforms that charge service fees on paid tickets, this plugin adds no per-ticket commission — you keep your ticket revenue (minus your payment processor’s standard fee). Unlike other WordPress plugins, you get a visual seating plan designer and a ticket PDF designer included — not as expensive add-ons.
Active on 1,000+ WordPress sites — from small community events to large concert venues.
Who is this for?
- Concert & festival organizers — sell general admission or assigned seats with interactive seat selection
- Theaters & venues — design your seating layout with drag & drop, let customers pick their seats

- Conferences & congresses — give attendees a private companion portal with programme, speakers, downloads and time-controlled access, opened straight from the ticket (see “Congress & Attendee Portal” below)

🎓 Congress & Attendee Portal
Give ticket holders a private event portal — no extra login, no separate app. Assign a congress to any ticket product and buyers reach it straight from their ticket ID.
- Organize content into pages — a start page plus as many pages as you need (Speakers, Programme, Downloads, Sponsors …), with a sidebar on desktop and a hamburger menu on mobile
- Rich section types — formatted text, a day-by-day programme schedule, downloadable files, link lists, image galleries, single images, and embedded videos (paste a YouTube/Vimeo link or upload your own)
- Password-protect individual sections for VIP or speaker-only content
- Fast by design — the start page loads instantly and other pages are fetched on demand, so even congresses with dozens of speakers stay snappy
- Installable & offline-friendly — the portal ships as a mini Progressive Web App
- Time-controlled access — open the portal a set number of hours before the event and keep it available for a chosen number of days afterwards
- Recurring events — duplicate a congress as a “new edition” in one click
Build it under the Congresses menu, assign it in the product’s Event Tickets tab, and optionally add a portal link to the order email. Included free.
Powerful Ticket Types
- Single entry — classic one-time event ticket
- Multi-entry passes — allow multiple scans (configurable limit)
- Family tickets — generate multiple tickets per order item
- Memberships & season passes — set expiration dates
- Day chooser tickets — let customers pick their event date at checkout
- Purchase allowance codes — require a valid ticket or access code before a product can be bought. Use it for presale and access codes, or to require a ticket from an earlier event (for example a group-stage ticket in order to buy the final). Per product you decide whether a code unlocks one purchase or several
