Print secure barcode tickets with copy protection
Printing secure tickets, which cannot be forged or copied, has never been easier and cheaper! Just use the TicketCreator Barcode edition to create and print tickets with a unique barcode on each ticket.
The barcode on the tickets is checked at the entrance with the free software TicketCreator BarcodeChecker and a simple barcode scanner (USB or PS/2, starting at € 50,-/ $ 60,-/ £ 45,-). As each barcode can only be used once to enter, copied or forged tickets are rejected and your revenues are protected.
And the best thing: There are no additional costs! Printing secure barcode tickets causes no additional costs for special paper with watermarks, holograms, fluorescent fibers, UV inks or alike. Just use your normal printer and regular paper.
Download the TicketCreator test version and see for yourself. The setup includes TicketCreator to print barcode tickets and BarcodeChecker to check them.

Checking tickets with barcodes
To check tickets with barcodes at the entrance you need only an old PC or laptop, on which the free software TicketCreator BarcodeChecker is installed, and which is connected by its USB or PS/2 port to a simple barcode scanner. Barcode scanner can be bought starting at € 50,-/ $ 60,-/ £ 45,- (e.g. from ebarcode.com or thebarcodewarehouse.co.uk).
Checking tickets in venues with multiple entrances
If your venue has multiple entrances you can check the barcoded tickets independently with one PC or laptop at each door and without a network. Hereby, the venue must be divided into sections and tickets for each section must only be accepted at one entrance, i.e. the BarcodeChecker software must be set that for example tickets for section A are only accepted at door A, tickets for section B only at door B, and so on.
To print tickets with barcodes you need the TicketCreator Barcode edition. But you can test this feature in the test version and all TicketCreator editions and later upgrade for the price difference to the Barcode edition. A new installation is not required and you can continue to use all files.
Uses 2 of 5 interleaved barcodes. The barcoded number is also printed as legible number on the ticket and can be entered manually if the barcode on the ticket is unreadable.
