This eliminates some of the hassle involved in the event checkin process. Eventbrite is using barcode-scanning technology powered by Quickmark to make it easier to get attendee data into the system.
The iPhone app works by connecting to a guest list from Eventbrite's servers. Event staff can then check in attendees by scanning a barcode, looking up their names or browsing a list.
What makes the system awesome is that checkins are synced across multiple devices. That means events can have staff members at multiple entrance points without having to worry about having incomplete or unsynchronized data.
Other new features of the app include:
Support for repeating events and customized sync settings
A new checkin interface that makes it easier to switch between search, list and scan options
E-mail, ticket type and payment info are displayed under an attendee's name.
