## Questions About Accreditation

### Accreditation questions

#### How does the door team check a pass?

A pass is a named guest ticket, so your door team scans it in the ticket app they already use. You can also print it as a photo badge.

#### How long does bringing people in take?

At a large event, the pass list fills over a minute or two while you carry on with other work.

#### How many passes can I issue or print at once?

Up to 500 passes and up to 200 badges at a time.

#### Can seated events issue passes?

Passes are available for general admission events.
