Self Check-In: Ticket/Pass Redemption

Discover how the self check-in feature works on tickets and passes.

The flexibility now introduced with this functionality will allow you to truly customize your ticket holder and on-site experience. With the added option, you can now choose how your fans & patrons redeem their ticket/season pass to enter an event.

Scan requires the ticket’s QR code to be scanned by an event worker in order to enter

Self Check-In allows the user to redeem prior to entering the event

Your redemption method can be set globally and/or at the individual event level. This method can be changed at any time throughout the event, should you have an issue and could benefit from changing the way purchasers show their tickets.

How to Set The Redemption Method:

  • Global Level (system default): Settings → All Settings → Ticket Redemption

  • Event Level (overrides the default for a single event): found within Event Details during your event creation process after Event Type


How It Works:

Upon purchase, View My Tickets will take purchasers to either the Hometown Fan App or the Hometown Events Page (http://events.hometownticketing.com ) to manage/view tickets for check-in.

Self Check-In tickets cannot be printed or saved to a mobile wallet. They must be presented on a mobile device.

  • Tickets may still be redeemed by gate workers via the Guest List within the Gate App

  • Currently, Self Check-In cannot be saved to a mobile wallet, printed and applied via bulk import or scheduling partner tools

Self Check-In can also be used for Season Passes! Passes can either be scanned or use Self Check-In, depending on how the individual event is set up. To Self Check-In a pass:

  1. Open either the Fan App or the Hometown website at events.hometownticketing.com, and go to View Passes

  2. Click into the pass you are using for the event

  3. The Pass Options heading will prompt you to click into Today’s Eligible Events

  4. From there, just choose the event you are checking in for, and hold down the circle to check in

If the pass you have is valid for multiple check-ins, you’ll be prompted to check in again if needed, until all of the check-ins are complete


Bulk Self Check-In will allow you to redeem more than one available ticket or pass at a time.
