Q. Do I need any special hardware or software to use TicketFast®?
A. You probably already have everything you need. All you need are:
  1. Printer - Any ink-jet or laser printer (color or black & white) with a resolution of 300 dpi or more is able to print TicketFast® tickets. Use 8.5" x 11" size plain white paper for best results. (If you're unsure of your printer's resolution/dpi, check the printer manual.).

Q. Will this ticket be accepted for entry into the event?
A. Yes!
The ticket that is printed through your printer is a valid, legitimate ticket. Make sure you keep it in a safe place like you would cash, and protect it just like you would any other ticket! Click here to see what your printed TicketFast® ticket should look like.


Q. What if I print more than one copy of my ticket or a photocopy is made?
A. Only the first scan of the barcode on your ticket will be allowed entry.
Make sure you keep the printed ticket in a safe place like you would cash, and protect it just like you would any other ticket! If more than one copy were to arrive, the barcode scanner will alert the attendant that the ticket has already been scanned. If there is a dispute, the purchaser's name and the last four-digits of the credit card used to make the purchase is on each ticket.
