SurgeTix Gatekeeper
Pro door scanning, fast
Only for iPhone
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
Built for festival door staff. Scan QR tickets in under 200ms, see admit/deny banners instantly, and keep the line moving — even when gate Wi-Fi gets flaky.
SurgeTix Gatekeeper turns any iPhone into professional door-scanning hardware for festivals, cinemas, conferences, and live venues.
Built for the people working the gate — not the people in the back office. Open the app, pick your event, point the camera at a QR code. Green banner means admit. Amber means already entered. Red means deny, with a haptic kick so you feel it without looking. That's the whole job. Everything else is plumbing.
WHY DOOR STAFF CHOOSE IT
• Sub-200ms scan-to-decision. Vision Camera handles the QR pipeline natively; the API call is the slow part, and we instrument it.
• Designed for one-handed use under stage lights. High-contrast cream-on-coral palette, big targets, no fiddly menus.
• Honest feedback when things go wrong. Network timeout, invalid signature, revoked ticket, wrong event — every error gets its own banner and copy, not a generic "failed".
• Live admit counter and recent-scans feed so supervisors can spot bottlenecks without leaving the gate.
• MFA-protected sign-in. TOTP from any authenticator app. Tokens live in the iOS Keychain via Secure Store.
BUILT FOR REAL FESTIVALS
We built Gatekeeper alongside the SurgeTix booking platform that powers European film festivals, cinema chains, and multi-day music events. Door staff using the same backend get:
• Tenant-scoped event lists — your team sees only your events.
• Festival pass support — multi-day passes, sectionals, student passes, gift cards, comp tickets all scan the same way.
• Cinema operator mode — recurring showtimes, membership renewals, bundle countdowns.
• Apple Wallet pass support via embedded QR.
WHAT IT IS NOT
• Not a consumer ticket app. Attendees keep using their email or Apple Wallet pass.
• Not a stand-alone product. Gatekeeper authenticates against your SurgeTix tenant. If you don't have a SurgeTix organizer account, contact us before downloading.
• Not online-only marketing. We don't track you, don't ship analytics SDKs, don't read your contacts.
REQUIREMENTS
• An active SurgeTix organizer account with check-in permissions.
• iPhone with iOS 16 or later.
• Camera access (only used to scan QR codes — never recorded, never uploaded).
Need offline validation, or multi-tenant gate switching? Get in touch — those ship on a per-festival basis and we'll provision your account before the event.
