The Exact Checkout Flow That Converted 3x More Ticket Buyers at the Door
The Gate Transformation
Managing walk-in ticket sales with cash or manual bank transfers creates massive queues at the door, resulting in frustrated attendees and lost sales. By deploying a streamlined mobile-first checkout flow with printed tabletop QR signs linked to Ceynk, Colombo gig and festival organizers reduced door wait times from 4 minutes to 20 seconds and tripled door revenue.
The Traditional Door Entry Bottleneck
At live gigs across Colombo, Mount Lavinia, and Kandy, walk-in attendees frequently arrive without cash. The old solution was asking attendees to transfer money to a bank account on the spot, write their name in a notebook, and show the SMS receipt.
During peak entry (8:30 PM – 9:30 PM), this manual workflow creates a 30-person line outside the venue, causing people at the back of the queue to walk away to nearby bars instead.
The High-Converting 3-Step Door Checkout Flow
Step 1: Tabletop QR Signs (Self-Checkout)
Place 3–4 acrylic stands along the entrance line with a bold sign: "Skip the queue: Scan to buy door tickets on your phone in 20 seconds."
Step 2: 1-Tap LankaQR or Card Payment
The QR code opens the Ceynk event page directly on the attendee's phone browser. They select the "Door Pass" tier (e.g. LKR 3,500) and pay instantly via LankaQR, FriMi, or debit/credit card.
Step 3: Instant 0.5s Gate Scan
The paid pass renders an encrypted QR code on their screen instantly. As they walk past the door volunteer, the phone camera scans the pass in 0.5 seconds and they walk straight in.
