Guest lists
Create named guest lists such as Family & Friends or Press, add guests with a quantity each, and choose how they get in: an email invitation with a QR code, or a check-in by name or email at the door.

Add up to 50 guests at a time, by name, email or phone
Two check-in modes: QR by email invitation, or by name at the door

Guest lists in detail
Guest lists let organizers invite people who do not buy a ticket: comps, plus-ones, artists' guests, press, VIPs. You create named lists such as Family & Friends or Special Access and add guests by name, email or phone, up to 50 at a time, with a quantity per guest for plus-ones. Each list has a check-in mode. In Guest List mode, door staff find the guest by name or email in the scanning app and check them in, no QR code sent.
In QR Code mode, guests receive an email invitation, register with the same email and get a QR code in their Trybe account, which is scanned like any ticket. You follow every guest's status: Pending, Confirmed, Claimed, Expired, Checked in or No-show, and export the list as PDF or Excel. Guest scans count in the live check-in numbers next to ticket sales. Guest lists also exist on Launches, so a promoter can run the list for an event ticketed elsewhere. A list that still has guests cannot be deleted; remove the guests first.
How it works
Create a list
Name it, for example Family & Friends, and pick Guest List or QR Code check-in.
Add guests
Enter name, email or phone and a quantity per guest, up to 50 at a time.
Invitations go out
In QR Code mode, guests get an email and claim their QR in their account.
Check in at the door
Staff scan the QR or find the guest by name in the Attendees tab, and statuses update live.
Questions organizers ask
How do I give free tickets to friends or press?
Create a guest list, add each person by name, email or phone with the number of entries they get, and pick the check-in mode. They either receive a QR code by email or are checked in by name at the door.
Do guests need a Trybe account?
In QR Code mode, yes: the guest registers with the email you invited and finds the QR in their account; no PDF is sent. In Guest List mode, no: staff check them in by name or email.
Can I add plus-ones?
Yes. Each guest has a quantity, so one entry can cover the guest and their plus-ones. The scanner shows how many entries are left on that guest.
How does door staff check in a guest list?
The scanning app has an Attendees tab that lists guests alongside ticket holders. Staff search by name or email and tap check in, or scan the guest's QR code if you used QR Code mode.
Can I see who showed up?
Yes. Each guest carries a status: Pending, Confirmed, Claimed, Expired, Checked in or No-show. You can export the list with statuses as PDF or Excel after the event.
Can I use guest lists for an event that sells tickets elsewhere?
Yes. Launches have a Guest list page too, so you can invite and check in guests for an event ticketed on another platform, with the same scanning app.
