1. Tickets & Entry
Where do I find my tickets?
Log in and open My Tickets. Your confirmation email also has a QR code for each ticket and a PDF attached. Can't find them? Email info@gatehopper.com.
Can I add my ticket to my phone's wallet?
Yes, on Apple Wallet. Use the link for each ticket in your confirmation email. On other phones, show the QR code from your email or your account.
Can I use a screenshot of my ticket?
Yes, as long as the QR code is clear and not cropped. For best results, turn your screen brightness up.
What's the difference between single-scan and multi-scan tickets?
Single-scan tickets work once. After they're scanned for entry, they won't scan again. Multi-scan tickets can be scanned more than once, for example for re-entry. The organizer decides which to offer.
Do I need to bring ID?
Only if your ticket says so. If it does, bring valid photo ID to the event.
My ticket won't scan. What should I do?
- Turn up your screen brightness.
- Make sure the whole QR code is showing, not cropped or blurry.
- Check it's the ticket for this event and date.
- Ask the staff at the entrance. They can look up your ticket by email or name.
Do events have age restrictions?
Some do. Age limits are set by the organizer and venue, so check the event page before you buy.
Can I enter late?
It depends on the event. Timed tickets show their entry time, and some venues may delay or refuse late entry. Check the event page or ask the organizer.
Can I give my ticket to someone else?
GateHopper doesn't have a built-in way to transfer tickets. Ask the organizer, who handles name changes and sets the event's rules.
2. Orders, Fees & Receipts
What are the fees?
Any taxes and fees for your order are shown in the order summary, so you'll see the full total before you pay.
Where do I enter a promo code?
On the event page, under Have a promo code?, or in your order summary at checkout. Some promotions apply automatically. Promo codes come from organizers and only work on the events they're set up for.
Is my login code a promo code?
No. The 6 digit code we email you only logs you in. It won't give you a discount.
Can I get a receipt?
Your confirmation email shows your order, so keep it for your records.
My payment failed. What now?
- Double-check your card details and billing address.
- Ask your bank if it's blocking the charge.
- Still stuck? Email info@gatehopper.com.
3. Refunds, Cancellations & Changes
Are tickets refundable?
Refunds are decided and issued by the organizer, based on their policy and local consumer laws. Reply to your ticket email to ask them.
What happens if an event is cancelled?
The organizer decides what happens next. If they issue a refund, it normally goes back to your original payment method.
What if the date, time or lineup changes?
Check the event page for updates, or contact the organizer. Not every change qualifies for a refund.
4. Accounts & Security
Do I need a password?
No. You log in with a 6 digit code sent to your email, or with Google or Facebook.
I didn't receive my login code. What should I check?
- Check your spam or junk folder.
- Make sure you typed your email correctly.
- Use Resend email on the code screen. Each code expires after 5 minutes.
- On a work email, ask your IT team if automated emails are being filtered.
Can I change my email address?
No. Your account email can't be changed, as it's how we find your tickets. You can change your name on your Account page.
How do I delete my account?
Email info@gatehopper.com from the address on your account.
I think someone accessed my account. What should I do?
Contact us right away. Since login codes go to your email, secure that email account too by changing its password.
5. For Organizers
How do I start selling tickets?
Create your event in three steps. After you publish, add free or paid tickets from your dashboard.
What does it cost?
It's free to publish an event, and there's no platform fee on free events. Fees on paid tickets are shown in your dashboard.
How do I get paid?
Connect your own Stripe account from Payment Gateway, and Stripe pays you directly. Approved organizers can instead use Converge, managed by GateHopper, where we pay out to your bank account.
How do I check people in?
Your staff can scan QR codes with our scanning app, or look tickets up by email or name in your event's Check In tab.
6. Support
How do I contact support?
Email info@gatehopper.com. Include your event name and order email, and your order number if you have it. You can find more help on our Support page.
