How it works

Three screens. That's it.

No dashboard to learn, no settings to figure out. What you need, and nothing more.

Taquillita Generate screen in English with demonstration ticket data
Step 01 — Create

Create

Choose the green, blue, pink, or turquoise zone, whether the ticket is digital or printed, and how many people it covers —from 1 to 99. It is created with its QR, folio, and party size.

Step 02 — Check

Check

Point the camera at the QR. The PASS shows the zone and how many people enter together. If it was already used or it is not from your event, Taquillita buzzes and tells you.

Step 03 — Reports

Reports

See QRs and people separately: how many were created, how many people entered, and how many are still expected. Reports also break them down by zone and medium and, in Team mode, by the phone that created or checked each ticket.

Set it up for your event.

In Settings, personalize your ticket and choose whether Team mode is on. Before you start issuing or checking tickets, decide what each phone should do.

Web report · Team mode

See how your event is doing without being glued to the phone.

With Team mode on, the app gives you a web report link you can open from any phone or computer. See created QRs and people, check-ins, zones, media, and times.

You can name each phone to see which one created or checked a ticket. If someone else keeps the books, share the link; the secret folio is never shown.

Reports inside the app, in English. The web report opens through a separate link and is currently in Spanish.

Ticket and redemption activity received through backups and Team mode. Updated daily; report in Spanish.

Local validation by design

Ticket checks happen on your phone.

The app checks each ticket against the records stored on that phone, even when Team mode is on.

Taquillita does not depend on the cloud to create or check tickets. In single-phone mode, tickets stay on your phone. Team mode uses a server only to relay updates between your devices; every phone still makes the decision locally.

  • Each ticket has a randomly generated secret code in its QR
  • On the same phone, a ticket is marked used on check-in and a second scan is rejected
  • You generate and check tickets on the same device
  • You generate the ticket after confirming the payment

In Team mode, phones need a connection to exchange check-ins. If two lose communication, both may accept the same QR before reconnecting; the report flags the duplicate afterwards.

Team mode starts on so tickets are backed up and another phone can join. You can turn it off at any time to keep everything on one phone.

You decide how it works

Alone at the door, or the whole team in sync.

Taquillita works perfectly on a single phone. And when there are several of you at the same entrance, you can put them to work together.

As always

Single-phone mode.

The ticket is created, stored, and checked on your phone. Creating, printing, checking, and local reports work offline. Turn off Team mode in Settings if you want ticket data to remain only on this phone; version 1.0.38 sends no separate usage signal.

  • You create and check on the same device
  • Your tickets live on your phone, not in anyone's cloud
  • No account and no connection needed for ticket work

If one phone is enough and you do not want server sync, turn Team mode off in Settings.

Several phones

Team mode.

Several phones at the same entrance, in sync with each other: what one sells, another can check. One joins the next by scanning a QR — no accounts, no typing passwords.

  • The box office sells; the door checks; the report brings them together
  • Name each phone to see who created or checked each ticket
  • Each phone checks on its own — the next one only relays the "this one's already in" notice
  • They join by scanning a QR, like everything in Taquillita

In team mode, keep internet or data on while checking so the phones stay in sync. If the network drops, no one gets stuck in line: each phone keeps checking on its own and they catch up when they reconnect.

No fine print

Truly free. No sign-up. No fees. Works offline.

Create, send and check tickets in one app.

  • Creates and checks tickets — not just a scanner
  • Four zones and digital or printed tickets
  • From 1 to 99 people per ticket — the party enters together
  • Free: no plan, no freemium, no in-app purchases
  • No account, no email, no phone number
  • No lock-in: it takes no commission per ticket
  • Works offline: creating, checking and reporting
  • It's an app you install, not a server to set up
  • In Spanish, English, Portuguese, Hindi, Simplified Chinese and French
  • In single-phone mode, ticket and event data stay on your phone
What it's for

If you organize it, it gets a ticket.

Taquillita doesn't ask how big your event is or how formal. It creates the ticket, checks it once, and that's it.

  • Workshops & classes
  • Raffles
  • Parties
  • University events
  • Tournaments
  • Access control
  • Food vouchers
  • Community shows
  • Conferences
  • Circuses
Just so it's clear

What Taquillita isn't.

  • It isn't a ticketing platform
  • It doesn't charge or process payments
  • It doesn't ask you to create an account

Taquillita creates and checks the ticket. You collect the money your own way —cash or transfer—, just like always. What Taquillita solves is the ticket itself: that it's unique, has its QR, and can be checked at the door.

On paper too

Need printed tickets?

The Taquillita app lays out a print-ready sheet: QR tickets arranged to cut. For the box office, comps, radio giveaways, the press and sponsors.

Same ticket, same folio, checked by the same app at the door.

Why it exists

The hard part was never the money. It was handing over the ticket.

A ticket used to exist only where someone was there to hand it over: the box office, the cart, the door of the venue. It didn't travel on its own.

Taquillita turns the ticket into something that travels over WhatsApp —unique, with its QR— and gets checked at the door in seconds. You collect the money like always; what changes is that you can get the ticket to someone without being there.

Origin

Taquillita was born in the circuses of Mexico: people who set up their show in any city and hand out their tickets over WhatsApp. It grew from there —and today it's also for whoever runs a tournament, the university student who puts together the event of the semester, whoever organizes the conference that was worth it—. You put on the event; Taquillita makes the ticket.
