How to Count General Admission Guests with SnapCount

Get your event capacity management counting session running in three simple steps. No downloads, no sign-ups, no hardware needed.

Step 1

Create a Free Session

Click "Start Counting" and you'll have a live event capacity management counting session in under 30 seconds. No account required — just open your browser on any device and begin tracking general admission guests, vip area occupancy, staff/crew ingress immediately.

Step 2

Set Up Your Counters

Add as many counters as your event capacity management workflow requires. Label each one to match what you're tracking — whether that's general admission guests or vip area occupancy. Share the session link with your team so everyone can contribute counts from their own device.

Step 3

Count Together in Real Time

Every tap syncs instantly across all connected devices. Venue Managers & Event Operations Teams can count simultaneously from different locations while the totals update live. When you're done, export your general admission guests data to CSV or Excel for reporting and analysis.

The Problem & The Solution

The Critical Flaw of Hand-Held Clickers and Chaotic Radio Updates

When the doors open, the last thing you need is a dead battery or a jammed mechanical clicker during peak ingress. The stress of maintaining accurate Gate Throughput while simultaneously fielding a security request means you inevitably lose track of the count, resulting in dangerous inaccuracies near the Hard Capacity Limit.

Coordinating capacity via handheld radio is a recipe for disaster. Gate supervisors are constantly screaming over static, trying to relay their localized count, forcing the central Command Center to manually tally numbers—a process that is always lagging 5 to 10 minutes behind the actual Occupancy Load. This delay creates unacceptable liability risks.

⚠️Stop relying on hand-held clickers and radios and manual counting methods.

SnapCount: Instant Sync for Absolute Occupancy Control

SnapCount transforms every team member's phone or tablet into a networked counter. As soon as a ticket scanner clicks '1' at the main entrance, that number instantly aggregates with the counts being simultaneously entered at the VIP gate and the re-entry point. Your entire security and operations staff are now counting on a single, unified dashboard.

Achieve perfect, zero-latency situational awareness. Central Command sees the live Occupancy Load update in milliseconds, allowing for immediate decisions on pausing ingress or deploying additional security. End-of-night reporting is automated, eliminating manual data entry and ensuring compliance with fire marshal regulations.

How Venue Managers & Event Operations Teams Use SnapCount for Event Capacity Management

Venue Managers & Event Operations Teams across the event capacity management industry rely on accurate, real-time counting to make informed decisions. Whether you're tracking general admission guests, vip area occupancy, staff/crew ingress, or managing counts across multiple locations, SnapCount replaces fragmented manual processes with a single collaborative tool. Instead of passing clipboards, shouting numbers, or reconciling spreadsheets at the end of the day, your entire team counts into one shared session that updates instantly.

Traditional methods like hand-held clickers and radios break down when multiple people need to count at the same time, when counts need to be visible across locations, or when you need a historical record of your data. SnapCount solves all three problems: multiple venue managers & event operations teams can tap simultaneously on their own phones or tablets, the running total is visible to everyone in real time, and every count is logged with a timestamp for later review or CSV export.

Getting started takes less than a minute. Create a free session, name your counters to match your event capacity management workflow, and share the link with anyone who needs access. There's nothing to download, no accounts to create for viewers, and the interface works on any device with a web browser. For venue managers & event operations teams who need persistent data, team management, or advanced analytics, paid plans unlock additional features while keeping the same simple counting experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using SnapCount for event capacity management

Can SnapCount handle multiple zones (e.g., GA and VIP)?

Yes. Create separate, independent counters for specific zones like VIP balconies, backstage access, or restricted areas, while maintaining an overall venue capacity tracker.

What if the venue Wi-Fi is spotty or overloaded?

SnapCount is designed to work offline. Counts are stored locally and automatically sync the moment connectivity is restored, preventing any data loss during high-density crowd periods.

Is this only for counting people, or can we track inventory too?

While optimized for crowd flow, many operations teams use SnapCount to manage critical inventory like wristbands, alcohol stock in specific bars, or merchandise counts during the event.

How fast can we train temporary event staff to use this?

The interface is intuitive—just a big '+' and '-' button. Staff can be trained on proper Gate Throughput procedures in under two minutes, far faster than complex radio protocols.
