How it works

1. Create the ticket

Choose one of four zones — green, blue, pink or turquoise — the digital or printed medium, and a party size from 1 to 99. Each ticket gets a QR and a visible number. Generating a ticket does not prove that it has been paid for.

2. Deliver it

Confirm the payment through your own method and send the ticket image over WhatsApp or another app. You can also create a print-ready PDF on the phone. Sending through WhatsApp requires internet; creating and printing tickets works offline.

3. Check it at the door

Point the camera at the QR. The app displays the zone and the number of people entering together and marks the ticket as used. On the same phone a second scan is rejected as already used. An unknown ticket is not accepted. Each QR covers one admission for the whole party.

One phone or a team

One phone can create, print and check its available tickets and show local reports without internet. Team mode starts on; turn it off in Settings if you want ticket data to stay only on this phone.

To use several phones, scan the joining QR from a phone already in the same team. A phone joining by QR starts as a Validator; the organizer uses the Settings password to configure its permissions. Synchronize tickets before the event so every door has the records it needs, and keep an internet connection during admission.

Each phone checks locally. If two phones lose communication, both could accept the same QR before reconnecting; synchronization flags the duplicate afterwards. Reconnecting does not undo an admission.

Choose what each phone can do

In Settings → Team mode, use the organizer’s Settings password to combine three independent permissions:

• Seller: issues tickets.
• Validator: checks tickets and admits entry.
• Administrator: looks up, resends and cancels tickets, and opens or shares access to the event panel, even without Seller permission.

A new installation starts with all three permissions in its own team. Joining another team does not carry over administration from the previous one. For example, a door phone can only validate, while a box-office phone can sell and administer.

Find a ticket and resend its original QR

On a phone with Administrator permission, open Settings → Find, resend or cancel tickets. Search using just the consecutive number. If it matches several tickets, choose the right one by issue date, box office and status.

You can retrieve the available history, see the complete code, resend the original QR or cancel the ticket. Resending keeps the original ticket; it does not create another entry. Recovering history depends on the records still available locally or synchronized with the team.

Other phones must synchronize to receive a cancellation before they can reject that ticket.

Local reports and the event panel

Reports distinguish QR tickets from people and show created, used and unused tickets by zone and medium. In Team mode, name the phones to see which one created or checked each ticket.

With Team mode and an internet connection, a phone with Administrator permission can open Settings → Event panel → Open panel. Share its access link through Android’s share menu, including WhatsApp.

The panel link grants access to manage the event. Its ticket tools can show the full code and original QR and cancel tickets; issuing tickets also requires Seller permission. Share it only with people authorized to perform those operations. It is separate from the public Backstage report.

Registration for free events

From the event panel, the organizer can enable a public registration form for a free event and share its registration link. A person registers with their name, phone number, email address and consent to the organizer’s notice. A confirmation appears on screen with a QR for one person in the zone chosen by the organizer. It is not sent automatically by email or WhatsApp.

You can set a limit for registrations through that form. This limit does not control all ticket issues or the capacity of each zone. Keep phones synchronized before checking these QR codes at the door. The form does not collect payments.

The visible number and the QR code

A control number such as 473-A combines a consecutive number with the issuing phone’s letter. It helps distinguish tickets created by different phones. It is a ticket reference, not an assigned seat.

The full QR code also includes the ticket’s secret code: for example, 473-A8K3M9P2. New tickets normally use an eight-character secret code; older ticket formats remain valid. When resending a ticket, preserve its original QR.

Use it for the event you organize

Taquillita can issue and check admission tickets for circuses, dances, workshops, tournaments, school events, weddings, wrestling, palenque shows and bullfights. You can also use a ticket for a single collection of a voucher or allowance.

Choose what each of the four zone colors represents. For a bullfight, for example, you could use green for sun seating and blue for shade seating. Explain that convention to your staff and customers. Seating maps, numbered-seat allocation, reservations and zone capacities must be managed separately.

See Taquillita’s recorded activity

Backstage is a public report, updated daily, with ticket creation and redemption activity received through backups and Team mode. You can review its dated totals and charts rather than rely on an undated popularity claim. The public report is in Spanish.

It shows part of the activity received by the server; offline activity appears after synchronization. Its sources can include tests and do not represent a count of users, installations, attendees or sales. The report does not identify what kind of event each organizer runs.

Choose your language

The app, event panel and free registration form support English, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, Simplified Chinese and French. The panel detects the browser language and lets you change it; English is the fallback. Registration links shared from the panel preserve the chosen language. Organizer-written names, descriptions and notices stay as entered.

On the website, each language homepage has a language selector. Help pages keep the language of their URL. In the app, tap the globe at the top of Generate or Reports to choose a language without the Settings password. Existing installations retain their saved choice; an older installation with no saved preference keeps Spanish when updating.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no ticket commission, paid plan or in-app purchase. Your chosen payment method may have its own charges.

Do I need an account?

No account, email address, phone number or card is required. Team mode starts on and can be turned off in Settings.

Does it work without internet?

Creating, printing, checking available tickets and viewing local reports work offline. Synchronize tickets onto every checking phone before the event. Sending via WhatsApp, Team mode synchronization, the event panel and public registration need internet. Phones without communication can accept the same QR independently.

Do tickets expire? Can I distribute them months ahead?

Tickets do not expire with time. You can create and distribute them weeks, months or a year ahead. The app does not ask for an event date. Keep the ticket records: do not uninstall the app or clear its data. Before checking with other phones, sync them in the same Team mode room. Server copies of rooms inactive for 90 days are deleted; local records on your phones are unaffected.

How do I collect payments?

You receive payment by cash, transfer or your preferred method and verify it yourself before delivering the ticket. Taquillita does not process payments.

Can I use paper tickets?

Yes. Select the printed medium and generate a print-ready PDF with cutting marks. The same app checks the printed QR at the door.

Can several people use one ticket?

Yes, from 1 to 99 people. They all enter together when that one QR is checked; the ticket cannot be used for separate admissions.

Can several phones check the same event?

Yes, in the same Team mode room. Keep them online to share ticket checks promptly. Offline phones can accept the same QR independently, so synchronization is essential to reduce duplicate admissions.

Does it work for bullfights?

Yes. Create digital or printed tickets, distinguish up to four zones by color and check QR codes at the entrances. The organizer decides what each color means, such as sun or shade seating, and collects payments directly. Taquillita does not assign numbered seats or manage a seating plan.

Can I resend a lost ticket?

Yes, with Administrator permission and the ticket record still available. Search by consecutive number, select the correct date, box office and status, and resend the original QR. You can also cancel the ticket. Resending does not issue a new admission.

Can I share the event panel with someone?

Yes. A phone with Administrator permission can open or share the panel from Settings. The access link allows event management, including ticket lookup, original QR retrieval and cancellation; issuing tickets also requires Seller permission. Share it only with authorized people.

Can people register themselves for a free event?

Yes, when the organizer enables the public form in the event panel. Registration asks for name, phone, email and consent. It shows a QR confirmation on screen for one person in the zone chosen by the organizer, without sending it automatically by email or WhatsApp. Synchronize checking phones before validating it at the door. A registration limit applies to that form, not to every ticket issued for the event. It does not process payments.

Does the consecutive ticket number reserve a seat?

No. The consecutive number and phone letter identify the ticket. The organizer must manage numbered seats or a seating plan separately.

Where can I see how much Taquillita is used?

The public report shows dated ticket and redemption activity received through backups and Team mode. It is a daily, partial view of recorded activity and can include tests; it does not count users, attendees or sales. Backstage →

What if I lose my phone or clear its data?

Local tickets, sales records, checks, settings and the password can be lost. Another phone in the same room can retain what has already synced. Unsynced changes cannot be restored. There is no user account for recovering everything.

Does it work in my country?

Yes. You can use Taquillita from a compatible Android phone in any country, without providing a tax identifier from any country. You collect payment through your own chosen method.

Does the app send usage telemetry?

The Android app sends no separate usage telemetry. Backups and Team mode send the operational data needed for those functions. The public report is derived from activity the server already receives. See the Privacy Notice for details.

Forgot your password?

The person who first opened Settings on this phone chose the password. Ask them before deleting anything. Taquillita cannot recover it. Clearing app data deletes local tickets, records, settings and the password; unsynced data cannot be recovered. Read the guide before resetting the app.
