The wallet ticket
A wallet ticket sits with the bank cards and the boarding passes, which is the one place on a phone people can always find again.
A wallet ticket is a ticket saved into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet rather than kept as an email. It shows the code, the date and the venue on one screen, can appear on the lock screen near the time of the event, and can be updated by the organiser after it has been issued.
Why the wallet beats the inbox
An inbox at the door is a search through a week of messages with one hand while a queue waits. The wallet is two taps from the lock screen and shows the code at full brightness without being asked.
Many phones will also surface the ticket automatically when the time approaches or when the phone is near the venue. For an audience that books weeks ahead, that alone removes a good share of the door problems.
What it can do afterwards
A wallet ticket is not a snapshot. If the start time moves or the entrance changes, the ticket already in someone's phone can be updated, and they see the new details without you needing them to read an email.
It is the same code either way. Adding a ticket to your wallet does not create a second ticket; it is another way of showing the one you already have, so nothing about the count at the door changes.
Wallet passes from Passavo
Every ticket can be added to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet from the confirmation, in one tap, without installing anything. The buyer chooses; nobody is forced to use a wallet to get in.
The pass carries your name and colours and shows the code, the date and the venue. When a ticket changes, for instance when it is cancelled or used, the pass in the phone updates with it rather than showing yesterday's information.

Common questions
Does the visitor need an app?
No. Both wallets are already on the phone. Adding the ticket is one tap from the confirmation and nothing is installed.
What if someone does not want to use a wallet?
They keep the email or print it. All three routes carry the same code and scan identically at the entrance.
