Troubleshooting a QR code that won't scan

Fix brightness, damage, and scanner issues at the door.

Try these steps in order:

On the guest phone

  1. Turn brightness to maximum.
  2. Open the ticket from My Tickets, not a screenshot if possible.
  3. Clean the screen and remove cracked glass protectors over the code.

On the scanner device

  1. Reload the check-in page and allow camera permissions again.
  2. Move closer or farther — about one hand-width away often works best.
  3. Switch to manual lookup if the camera fails. See Manual check-in.

Invalid code

If the app says Invalid, the ticket may be canceled or for a different event instance. Verify the guest's order in Attendees.
