Gunnebo Entrance Control has launched QTicket, a ticket validation terminal developed to help venues manage visitor entry more efficiently while supporting the growing range of entrance technologies used across leisure, sport and entertainment environments.
Designed for applications including stadiums, amusement parks, water parks, leisure centres and gyms, QTicket combines ticket validation and entrance control management within a single platform to support faster, more reliable visitor processing.
QTicket supports multiple entrance technologies, including QR codes, RFID cards, wristbands and facial recognition, through a single validation platform. This gives operators a more flexible way to manage visitor flow while simplifying entrance control across different ticketing methods.
The solution integrates with existing ticketing and entrance control systems through an open API architecture, enabling venues to maintain operational continuity while introducing new technologies or managing multiple credential types across different sites and applications.
Says Ludmila Vanova, Gunnebo Entrance Control Retail Product Manager: “Venue operators are under increasing pressure to balance visitor experience, operational efficiency and security. Managing large numbers of people quickly and accurately, while supporting different ticketing technologies, can create real operational challenges, particularly during peak periods or large events. QTicket has been developed to support these requirements through a single, flexible validation platform that helps venues manage visitor flow more effectively while maintaining confidence in the validation process.”
Designed for both indoor and outdoor environments, QTicket combines a stylish terminal design with a multilingual user interface and clear visual and audio guidance to support ease of use for visitors and staff alike. Rapid credential verification helps reduce bottlenecks at entrances, while real-time validation supports improved oversight of authorised access.
The terminal can operate online or offline using locally stored data, helping venues maintain access operations during temporary network interruptions or connectivity issues. This resilience is particularly important in high-throughput environments where delays at entry points can quickly impact visitor experience and place additional pressure on operational teams.
In addition to supporting visitor flow management, QTicket has been developed to help venues address wider concerns around ticket misuse and credential sharing. With real-time validation across multiple access formats, operators can maintain greater visibility and control over entry activity while simplifying the management of different ticketing methods through a single platform.
Ludmila added: “Flexibility and interoperability are becoming increasingly important as venues continue to adapt to changing legislation and visitor expectations. Organisations are looking for solutions that can work alongside existing infrastructure while remaining adaptable for future requirements. QTicket has been developed with that long-term operational flexibility in mind.”
