Name every guest. Scan them in at the door.

2KEvents runs the evening from the first booking to the last guest through the door. Built for clubs, bars and promoters — the people for whom an event is a door, a list, and a queue outside.

Every guest is a person, not a number

A booking for five asks for five names, and each one gets their own ticket with its own QR code. One code cannot let five people in, and the door knows who is standing in front of it.

The door works

Open the check-in station on any phone, point it at a ticket, and it answers in one screen: valid, already used, or not for tonight. Counters update live. And when the venue's wifi gives up — it will — there is a printable roll-call list with every guest and every ticket number on it.

Tickets that look like tickets

Each one is drawn at 100 × 250 mm, 300 dpi, with the QR engraved into the design, and delivered as a PDF by email. Mail servers strip attachments more often than they admit, so every message also carries a download link for each ticket.

The whole evening, not a piece of it.

Events with organizers, venues and line-ups

Create an event in four questions. Organizers and venues are kept as libraries, so the second event takes a minute.

A booking page your guests actually finish

One page, the names of everyone coming, and a confirmation. Put it anywhere with a shortcode.

Payment validated by a human, for now

You confirm a payment and the tickets go out by themselves. Card payment online is the first thing the Pro edition will add.

A door station on any phone

No app to install. Open a link, enter the door code, and scan. Live counters, and a printable list for when the wifi fails.

Your data stays on your server

Guest names, bookings and tickets live in your WordPress database. Nothing is sent anywhere, and nothing phones home.

Six screens, no mock-ups.

These are the real ones, taken from a working install.

Waiting on the WordPress.org review.

2KEvents was submitted to the WordPress.org plugin directory and is in the review queue. Until a human there has read the code, there is nothing honest to link to — so there is no download button pretending otherwise.

When it is approved, this page becomes the place with the button on it, and the plugin installs the way every other one does: Plugins → Add New → search for 2KEvents.
