How to Make Printable Event Tickets With QR Codes (Free)

Create numbered, printable event tickets with QR codes for free, and learn when printed tickets are fine and when you need real ticketing with live scanning.

Editorial disclosure: Pyalm publishes and maintains the products and free tools discussed on this site. Regulatory statements are linked to primary sources where applicable. No independent professional review is claimed unless a reviewer is explicitly named.

For a community dinner, school fair or small workshop, printed tickets do the job. The free Event Ticket Generator creates numbered tickets with QR codes in your browser.

How to make tickets

  1. Enter the event name, date, time and venue.
  2. Set the ticket type and price.
  3. Choose a code prefix and starting number, for example DSN-0001.
  4. Pick a colour and the quantity (up to 200).
  5. Print, or save as PDF.

Each QR code contains the event, the tier and the ticket number.

Good uses

  • Raffles and lucky draws
  • School, club and community events
  • Free invitations with a guest list
  • Backup tickets for walk-ins

Where printed tickets fall short

  • They can be photocopied. Nothing stops a code being used twice.
  • There's no live headcount at the door.
  • You can't sell them online or send them on WhatsApp.
  • For public ticketed events in Dubai, the inventory must match your approved ticket setup.

For those, you need ticketing with real-time scan validation. See ticket fraud prevention.
