What is Side Quest Utah?

Your ultimate guide to local adventures, outdoor activities, and community events across Utah.

Can I sell VIP and general admission tickets for the same festival?

Yes. Create as many ticket types as you need — VIP, general admission, early bird, kids — each with its own price, quantity, and sales window. You can track sales per ticket type from your dashboard.

Can I limit ticket quantities for each tier?

Yes. Each ticket type has its own quantity. When a tier sells out, it is automatically marked as sold out on your event page so no one can buy more than you have.

Can multiple staff members scan tickets at different entrances?

Yes. Invite team members as Check-In Staff. Each person opens the Check-In Pro tool on their own phone and scans simultaneously. All check-ins sync in real time across every device.

Can I offer early-bird pricing for festival tickets?

Yes. Set a sales window for your early-bird ticket type. When the window closes, that tier is no longer available for purchase and general admission takes over.

Can I create promo codes for festival tickets?

Yes. Create percentage or fixed-amount discount codes with usage limits and date windows. You can see which promo codes drive sales in your dashboard.

Can I see how many tickets were sold per tier?

Yes. Your dashboard shows sales broken down by ticket type — quantity sold, revenue, and remaining capacity for each tier.

Can I check people in manually if they don't have their QR code?

Yes. Search by name or email in the Check-In Pro tool. Manual check-in works alongside QR scanning and syncs in real time.

Can I see how many people have checked in at my festival?

Yes. The Check-In Pro tool shows a real-time count of checked-in attendees, visible on every device connected to your team.

Can I create a page for my festival organization?

Yes. Approved organizers can enable a public storefront at sidequestutah.com/organizers/your-slug with your logo, upcoming events, and ticket links.

What Makes Festival Ticketing Different

Festivals need flexible ticketing. You might have early-bird pricing, general admission, VIP packages, and kids tickets — all for the same event. You need to track sales per tier, manage capacity, and get people through the door quickly.

Side Quest Utah handles all of this with multi-tier ticket types, real-time sales tracking, and QR scanning that works on any phone. No special hardware, no software to install — just your event, your tickets, and your phone at the gate.

How Festival Ticketing Works

Four steps from event creation to scanning at the gate.

Step 1

Create your festival event

Set the date, location, and description. Add a festival image so your event page stands out in search.

Step 2

Build ticket tiers

Create early bird, general admission, VIP, and kids tickets — each with its own price, quantity, and sales window.

Step 3

Publish and share

Your festival goes live with its own URL and appears in Utah event search. Share the link by email, social media, or text.

Step 4

Scan at the gate

Staff open Check-In Pro on their phones and scan QR codes. Track attendance in real time across all entrances.

Recommended Ticket Structures for Festivals

Common ticket tiers Utah festivals use to drive sales and manage capacity.

Early Bird

Limited quantity at a discounted price with an earlier sales window. Creates urgency and rewards early commitment.

General Admission

VIP

Premium experience at a higher price with limited quantity. Includes perks you define — seating, parking, merchandise.

Kids

Free or discounted tickets with their own quantity. Simplifies family planning and tracks child attendance.

Scanning at the Gate

Get people through the door fast with QR scanning on any phone.

Multiple scanners

Invite staff as Check-In Staff. Each person scans on their own phone at different entrances.

Real-time count

See how many people have checked in at any moment, visible on all connected devices.
