Tickets - Read this first
Overview
AGS's Ticket feature is used by communities that need a more complex system to sell and mange guest passes, special events, or other products.
How it works
- Patrons purchase one or more products in the online marketplace.
- After the purchase is completed, a ticket is created. You may think of the ticket as a record. Over time...
- Gate attendants can redeem products. The ticket/record will be updated with the details of the redemption. Date, who, what, how, etc.
- Management can edit the ticket. Maybe issue a refund or add/subtract products manually. These actions are logged on the ticket/record.
- Patrons can retrieve their ticket. See how may products they have left. Purchase and add more products, etc.
- Management can export or view statistics and tallies of these tickets/records. See how many products were sold, used, etc.
The most common action is redeeming a product.
- Patrons present their ticket by showing the attendant...
- Their phone directly after purchase
- An email with the ticket
- A printout of the ticket
- An eTicket they can store in their smart phone.
- Attendants use a 2D Barcode Scanner to scan the ticket and retrieve the ticket/record.
- Attendants then mark the product as used. For example, they will mark one guest pass as being used by redeeming the guest pass.
Important: A 2D Barcode Scanner is required to use tickets.
