BitForge Name every guest. Scan them in at the door.
BitForgeNet Guest Tickets 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. Paying by card at the moment of booking is being added, in this same free plugin.
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.
Free, and installed like any other plugin.
BitForgeNet Guest Tickets is free software under the GPL v2 or later, published through the WordPress.org plugin directory — the same place every plugin already on your dashboard came from. Installing it is the ordinary route: Plugins → Add New, search for BitForgeNet Guest Tickets, install, activate.
Nothing in it is capped, metered, or waiting for a key. There is no per-ticket fee, no account to create, and no telemetry.
Card payment, in the free plugin.
Today a booking arrives pending and you confirm the payment yourself — by transfer, by WhatsApp, in cash. That stays, because for a lot of venues it is exactly right: you keep every cent and you never wait on a processor.
What is being added is the other option, beside it. The guest pays by card at the moment of booking and the tickets go out on their own, and you choose which of the two an event uses. No WooCommerce, no shop to set up, and no commission on your sales — only your payment processor's own fee.
It is being built now, and it will be in the free plugin.
