Does Google Wallet support event and concert tickets?

Yes. Google Wallet natively supports event tickets with venue details, gate, section, row, seat, and rotating barcodes.

Can tickets be updated after issuance for gate or schedule changes?

Yes. Any operational changes pushed via API update the pass immediately and trigger a lockscreen notification.

How are tickets validated at venue entrances?

Admissions are checked using the Passinstance Scanner app, optical 2D laser imagers, or automated turnstiles connected to our validation endpoint.

How do you prevent ticket duplicate reuse and fraud?

Each pass carries a cryptographically signed unique token that is validated on first scan, preventing duplicate admissions.

Can Passinstance integrate with existing ticketing systems?

Yes. Your ticketing database remains the master record while Passinstance handles pass signing, push updates, and scan telemetry.

Blueprint & Fit

Operational Challenge & Pass Architecture

Operational Challenge

Gate, seat, or schedule changes traditionally require re-emailing static PDFs that attendees rarely check in time. Unverified screenshots and duplicate passes cause gate disputes and entry delays.

Passinstance Architecture

The pass stays installed in Apple Wallet & Google Wallet. Your backend dynamically updates gate, seat, time, or status with lock-screen alerts, while unique 2D barcodes ensure single-use admission.
