The full range
Everything that is in it.
The start page tells the story of one night. Here is the whole of it — every function on its own, sorted by area, to read through in peace. From the first sign-up to the retention limit afterwards.
The event
An event is ready to go the moment you create it — from the first click to a tidy morning after.
- Ready straight away
- A newly created event is live at once: issue codes, import, scan — nothing waits for an approval.
- Series & tournament
- Group related events into a series (match days, a season) or a tournament (Fri–Sun, festival, congress) and take them live or offline together.
- Duplicate an event
- A finished event becomes the template for the next one in a single click — fields, layout and entrances carried over, the guest list empty.
- Your own time zone
- Every time — doors, sign-up deadline, “date has passed” — is worked out in your event’s time zone, never in server time.
- Venue
- Store the city and the country — for the public page and for a clean evaluation.
- Several workspaces
- An agency keeps many clients apart under one account, a club has exactly one — every workspace neatly on its own.
- Close an event
- A deliberate close ends admission, freezes the log and archives the event by itself 24 hours later.
- Protection against data loss
- Once an event is genuinely in use, the guest list can no longer be emptied in one go by accident.
Sign-up & forms
Your guests sign themselves up — through a form that belongs entirely to you.
- Your form, your fields
- Build the sign-up form from exactly the fields you need — you decide which ones, in which order and with which labels.
- Every field type that matters
- Free text, single and multiple choice, yes/no boxes, number, date and file upload — the right type for every question.
- Your legal texts, your wording
- You write consents, privacy notices and conditions yourself; every agreement freezes the wording shown and its language in an audit-proof record.
- Straight through or after approval
- Decide per form whether sign-ups count immediately or only once you have approved them — for moderated guest lists.
- Cap the places
- Set an upper limit for sign-ups — optionally with a “X places left” counter for your guests.
- Limited places per option
- Cap individual options (“this menu: 40 places”); once one is full, it can no longer be chosen.
- Sign-up window
- A start and an end date open and close sign-ups automatically, with nothing left for you to do.
- Stop sign-ups at once
- One switch ends new sign-ups by hand at any time, regardless of the schedule.
- Waiting list
- Once the allocation is full, an optional waiting list gathers further interest that you can move up after cancellations.
- Show fields conditionally
- A field appears only when another answer calls for it — nested and/or conditions included.
- Try it out safely first
- Walk the whole sign-up flow yourself as a rehearsal — confirmation and code included — before the form goes public.
Guest list
A list that fills itself — imported, signed up or added by hand.
- Its own list per event
- Every event keeps its own clean guest list; the same person on two events stays neatly apart.
- Import your spreadsheet
- Upload the list you already have and see a preview with the check result before a second click really creates it.
- Duplicates are thrown out
- Accidental double entries are spotted; you decide case by case — skip or update, never a second code.
- Shared mailboxes
- Several guests may share one email address (family, team) and each of them still gets their own personal code.
- Add by hand
- Latecomers and one-offs go straight into the list whenever you need them.
- Groups for pre-sorting
- Sort guests into named groups (channel, press, VIP) — for targeted messages, invisible to the guest.
- Your own fields on a guest
- Beyond name and email you store any extra detail — meal choice, size, plus-one — directly on the guest.
- Field templates
- Save a field set you have built once as a template and carry it over to new events in one click.
- Codes without an account
- Every guest fetches their entry codes through a personal link — no registration, no password.
- Bar individual guests
- Withdraw a guest’s access at any time and grant it again — their code is then turned away at the door.
Landingpage & branding
A public Landingpage in your colours — clicked together, without a page-builder course.
The page builder
- Visual builder
- Assemble your Landingpage from ready-made blocks, arrange them by dragging and dropping, and reorder them whenever you like.
- Heading & text
- A large title with a sub-line plus freely formatted text sections — bold, italic, links, lists.
- Image
- Place an image — with a caption, a crop, a width and, if you want, as a clickable link.
- Video
- Embed YouTube or Vimeo — for data-protection reasons it loads only after your guest deliberately clicks, never unasked.
- People & team
- Introduce speakers, a jury or your team — with a photo, name, role, short bio and link, as a grid or a list.
- Action buttons
- Place prominent buttons that lead to another page or to an external address — filled or outlined.
- Columns
- Arrange blocks in up to six columns side by side; on a phone they move underneath each other by themselves.
- Background bands
- Lift a section out with a colour band running edge to edge — the text switches to a readable contrast automatically.
- Several pages & a menu
- A start page plus sub-pages becomes a whole event presence; a menu appears by itself, and you decide the order and any entries of your own.
- Jump marks
- Mark a section as a target so that a menu entry jumps straight to it.
- The sign-up form as a block
- Place the sign-up form on any page — it is a block like any other.
- Protected access pages
- Create secret pages, reachable only through a non-public link, that unlock extra fields — a press area, for instance.
- A readable web address
- Your page runs under a speaking address instead of a cryptic string; the permanent link stays valid even when you rename it.
- Preview = the live page
- What you see in the builder is what your guests see in public — no surprise after publishing.
Look & branding
- Your own logo & colours
- Set a logo and named colour roles — accent, links, headings, background, body text; whatever you leave out inherits a coherent default look.
- Matching shades automatically
- Details such as muted text, dividers and surfaces are derived from your palette — no contrast accident.
- Live readability warning
- Pick colours that would read badly and the system says so straight away — the final call stays yours.
- 15 curated typefaces
- Choose from 15 hand-picked typefaces, all served from our own servers — no external font provider.
- Text size & rounding
- Set the font size (compact/normal/large) and the corner rounding (sharp/soft/round) for the whole page with one slider.
- One default, exceptions per event
- Define your brand look once as the default; individual events may deliberately depart from it.
Legal pages
- Legal notice & privacy policy per event
- Every event gets its mandatory pages — a condition for publishing, linked in the footer of every page.
- Optional terms
- Add a terms page if you need one — voluntary, never blocks publishing, can be hidden per event.
- Maintain them or link out
- Fill in each legal page in the builder yourself or point to the page you already have elsewhere.
- Embed on your own website
- Embed the sign-up form in your own website and set which addresses sign-ups are accepted from.
Access & doors
The heart of it: forgery-proof codes, clearly governed entrances and a scanner that keeps going without a signal.
Tickets & codes
- A personal QR code per guest
- Every guest gets a signed QR code — checkable at the door even offline, and carrying no readable data.
- Anonymous tickets
- For the box office, advance sales or printed cards there are nameless tickets with nobody behind them — freely combinable with the guest list and with sign-ups.
- Tickets in batches
- Create tickets as a named batch (“box office”, “advance sale 1”); export, reprint and barring all work per batch.
- Bar a whole batch
- Invalidate a ticket batch in one go if it was never handed out or has to be called back.
Entrances & routing
- Several named entrances
- An event can have as many independent entrances as you like — main gate, shuttle, backstage — each with its own rule.
- Tie codes to entrances
- Restrict a code to particular entrances; at any other one it is turned away outright.
- Group routing as a matrix
- Set out in one grid (groups × entrances) which entrance admits which group of guests — freely re-routed until shortly before, without reissuing a single code.
- One entry or re-entry
- Per entrance you decide whether a code is valid once or as often as you like — smoking area, shuttle, re-entry.
- One bar list at every door
- Barred guests are handed out to every scanner at the next sync — every door knows the same state.
The scanner at the door
- Every phone a scanner
- A device is enabled for the event through an invitation link and scans immediately — in the browser, with no app to install for anyone.
- Works offline
- The scanner checks codes without a signal and syncs as soon as there is reception again — a dead spot in the marquee does not stop the door.
- A clear verdict per scan
- Green means in: every scan shows “valid”, “already inside” or “invalid” at once — the door decides in seconds.
- Nobody gets in twice
- Anyone already admitted is recognised on the second scan — even if two devices were offline, the first admission stands.
- Door staff without a login
- Whoever scans only types their name when they first open it — no password — and every scan is credited to them.
- See how full it is, live
- Occupancy in total and at every single entrance, in real time.
- Override a warning (if allowed)
- An authorised operator admits despite an “already inside” warning; the decision is logged.
- Manual admission
- A broken or missing code? An authorised operator admits by hand, recorded as a manual admission.
- Admission window
- Set from when and until when scanning is allowed — nobody gets in too early or after closing time.
- Several devices, one picture
- When several doors scan in parallel, the server brings all admissions together and plays the guest list and the bar list back to the devices.
Team & devices
Your team with finely graded rights — and full control over every scanning device.
- Account owners
- An account-level role sets events up completely and reaches every workspace.
- Staff limited to one workspace
- A staff login can be limited to exactly one workspace — keep lists, look at the check-in — with no sight of the account.
- A role just for the guest list
- A lean role may run the guest list — create, import, bar, release — but cannot rebuild the event.
- Invite by email
- Invite staff with an email address, a role and a workspace; they click the link and choose their own password.
- Invitations at a glance
- See every open, accepted and withdrawn invitation per workspace — and pull an open one back after a typo.
- Targeted rights at the scanner
- When you enable a device you decide which entrances it scans at and whether its operator may override warnings.
- Device overview
- Every scanner that has been in use, with its first and last sync and its status at a glance.
- A device signs itself out
- A scanner retires safely on the device itself — it uploads any pending scans first and then wipes its local data.
- Bar a lost device remotely
- Cut off a single scanner deliberately; at its next contact it is refused and told to delete the names it holds.
- Two-factor login
- Everyone on the team secures their access free of charge with an authenticator app and recovery codes.
Email & messages
From the automatic confirmation to a targeted note — all branded, all with consent.
- Confirmation automatically
- Every guest gets their confirmation with a ticket or a code straight after signing up — without you sending a single mail by hand.
- Your texts, your words
- You write the subject and the body of every guest mail yourself; GateHeroes puts the code and the confirmation link in the right place, guaranteed.
- A branded mail frame
- Every mail for an event arrives in the same look with your logo and your colour — set once, coherent everywhere.
- Instant preview
- You see how the mail will look in the inbox while you are still setting it up — exactly as the guest receives it.
- Test mail to yourself
- Before the real send you post yourself the very same mail and check its look and its delivery for real.
- Targeted notes to groups
- A save-the-date or an announcement to a chosen group of guests — kept cleanly apart from the mandatory sign-up mails.
- Consent & unsubscribe built in
- Notes like these go only to guests who have explicitly consented, each with a one-click unsubscribe link that takes effect at once and for good.
- Automatic delivery protection
- Permanently unreachable addresses and complaints are taken out of the send by the system itself — for a clean sender reputation.
- Reliable in the background
- Mails are delivered in the background; if a send breaks off, the system tries again instead of quietly losing a mail.
Statistics & report
The report is ready before the coffee is — always worked out fresh from the real state.
- Always fresh figures
- Key figures are worked out fresh from the current holding at any moment — nothing is precomputed, you see the real state.
- Sign-up funnel & arrival curve
- See how the sign-ups built up and when the rush peaked during the night.
- Admission rate
- The share of guests actually admitted out of all of them — the key figure for how your door went.
- No-shows
- How many registered guests never turned up; anyone deliberately turned away counts separately, not as a no-show.
- An honest split
- Your guest list divides without a gap into admitted, no-show and turned away — the shares add up to 100 %.
- An account-wide overview
- See the figures across all your workspaces, filtered by the rights of whoever is looking.
- Export & trends (from the middle package)
- Download the evaluation as a document and compare key figures across several events.
Prices & billing
You pay when you throw a party — not in the eleven months in between.
- Per event, not a subscription
- You book a package for exactly one event and pay once — no monthly subscription, no running fees.
- The price follows the guest count
- The price depends on the guest-count tier and is fixed, however many actually turn up in the end.
- Try it out for free
- Build an event completely, see it in full preview, run rehearsal sign-ups and make test scans — all of it without buying.
- Prices in euros
- Every price here is a euro amount per event; which taxes apply depends on the country you are billed in.
- An invoice straight away
- An invoice is drawn up the moment you book.
- Pay by invoice for companies
- Business customers can pay by invoice after approval instead of paying straight away.
- Extras only when you need them
- Beyond the base package you add extensions one by one per event — at a fixed one-off price, without a subscription.
- Reach credit
- For sending many invitations you buy prepaid credit that is drawn per mail, never expires and counts across all workspaces.
- Upgrade the package any time
- Until the event is closed you can move up to a bigger package; the upgrade is billed straight away.
Data protection & security
The GDPR as a relief, not as small print: the data deletes itself.
- Servers & sending in the EU
- Your guest data sits and travels exclusively with EU providers — servers and files in Germany, encrypted backups in Finland, mail delivery through an EU service.
- Data deletes itself
- Every guest detail carries an expiry date and disappears once its purpose ends — data minimisation without you tidying up.
- Access & export at the touch of a button
- If a guest asks about their data, you export everything held on them as a finished package — right of access and portability in one step.
- Delete individual guests safely
- Remove a guest completely, along with every scattered trace, without touching anybody else’s data.
- Sensitive details stay hidden at the door
- Special categories, health details for instance, are never shown in the clear by the scanner — the door only learns whether someone may come in.
- Two-factor login
- Secure your team’s access on top of that with an authenticator app and recovery codes — free of charge.
- Data protection set up by default
- You process guest data only once the contract and the mandatory details are in place — until then import and publishing are locked.
- Nothing left over at the end
- If you end the collaboration, the whole account holding is removed for good — nothing stays behind.
Language
German or English — for you in the back office and for your guests.
- Back office in German or English
- You and your team run GateHeroes in German or in English; the choice hangs on your login.
- The guest page in the event’s language
- The sign-up page, the notices, the buttons and the confirmation mails appear in the language you set for the event.
- Legal texts per language
- If your event offers several languages, the legal notice and the privacy policy exist in every language offered.
- Language follows where you arrive from
- Whoever comes via einlasshelden.de sees German; via the English brand GateHeroes, English automatically.
