Event Ticket Security

Ticket security is becoming more important. With advances in digital imaging technology, it’s becoming easier to produce duplicate event tickets. This is why our event tickets include a number of effective security features to detour potential ticket fraud.

Unique Barcode and Number on each Ticket

Each ticket has a unique barcode and unique number printed on the stub portion. The barcode is in Code 93 format and therefore can be scanned by most barcode scanners. The unique barcode and number on each ticket comes standard on all our tickets at no extra cost. For fraud prevention purposes, the barcode and unique number cannot be removed from the back of the ticket.

Watermark & Security Microtext

For your protection, we print a watermark (the TicketPrinting.com logo) and security micro text on the body section of the back of each ticket. Usually, this faint and extremely small text will not be legible when copied.

High Security, Heat-Sensitive Ticket Stock

For extra security, we also offer high-security ticket stock which is heat-activated. This security paper features the message, "Security Paper, Do Not Duplicate," printed at a 45 degree angle in heat sensitive ink. Applying a little heat by rubbing, blowing, or holding the ticket next to a light bulb changes the ink from light green to light yellow. Your ticket takers can see immediately whether the ticket is valid or not. Once the paper cools down again, it returns to its original color.

Other Security Options

Consider the extra barcode options on our Design Your Own or Custom Tickets, or choose a Thermal Ticket, with UV printing (visible only under an ultraviolet or black light), pressure sensitive watermark (activated when rubbed with a coin), and magnetic striping.
