It started with a party
and a practical problem.

A few years ago, we looked for a free or reasonably priced way to handle admission for a company’s annual party. The choices were built for public ticket sales, packed with unrelated features, or too expensive for a private guest list.

So we built it: a page in the company portal with a printable QR ticket, plus a small Windows scanner application running on handheld barcode computers. When someone arrived, the ticket was validated and marked as used in the database.

The interesting part was not the QR code. It was how much calmer the front door became when the guest list, ticket, and scan record were one system.

Private Event Tickets is the modern version of that idea: browser-based, Wallet-ready, usable from ordinary phones, and designed for organizations that already know whom they want to invite.
