Door Sales Configuration is the comprehensive solution for accepting walk-up ticket purchases at your venue entrance, designed specifically for event organizers, venue managers, and promoters who need to capture last-minute attendees and maximize event capacity. Whether you're hosting nightclub events, concerts, festivals, or private parties, our door sales system ensures you never lose revenue from customers who decide to attend at the last moment. The platform enables your door staff to sell tickets instantly using any mobile device or tablet, with real-time inventory synchronization preventing overselling across online and on-site channels. From cash payments to credit card processing, you have complete flexibility in payment acceptance while maintaining accurate attendance tracking. Every door sale generates a digital ticket with QR code for immediate check-in, eliminating paper tickets and streamlining venue entry. Venue managers across 40+ countries use Trybe Nest's door sales system to process over 500,000 walk-up purchases annually, with an average 25% increase in total event attendance compared to online-only sales. The system works offline during network outages and syncs automatically when connectivity returns, ensuring you never turn away paying customers due to technical issues. Integration with your existing ticket inventory, payment processing, and analytics dashboards gives you complete visibility into door versus online sales performance.
Door sales sync in real-time with your online ticket inventory. When staff sell a ticket at the door, the available count instantly updates across all sales channels, preventing overselling. The system works even when offline and syncs automatically when internet connectivity returns.
Accept cash, credit cards, debit cards, and mobile payments at the door. Our mobile POS system processes card payments securely through Stripe. Cash payments are tracked in the system with receipt generation for accurate accounting.
Yes! Every door sale instantly generates a digital ticket with unique QR code. Customers can receive tickets via email or SMS immediately, or staff can print physical tickets with QR codes at the entrance using mobile printers.
Absolutely! Set premium door pricing to incentivize early online purchases. For example, charge $25 online and $35 at the door. The system automatically applies door pricing when staff make sales at the venue entrance.
The system continues operating in offline mode. Staff can still sell tickets and process payments. All transactions are stored locally and automatically sync to the cloud when connectivity returns. You never lose sales due to network issues.
Every door sale is tracked in real-time with staff attribution, timestamp, and payment method. Generate end-of-night reconciliation reports showing total cash collected per staff member. The system creates an audit trail that makes cash handling transparent and accountable.

Instantly! Tickets are delivered via email or SMS within seconds of purchase. Customers can also display tickets immediately on their phone from the purchase confirmation screen. For events requiring physical tickets, mobile printers generate tickets in under 5 seconds.
Yes! Set specific door sales allocations separate from online inventory. For example, reserve 100 tickets for door sales and 400 for online. When door allocation sells out, the system automatically stops accepting walk-up purchases while online sales continue.
Generate instant reconciliation reports showing total door sales, payment method breakdown (cash vs. card), sales per staff member, and expected cash drawer totals. Export reports to CSV for accounting. The system calculates exactly how much cash should be in the drawer.
