An admission control system is the technology used to manage, validate, and track guest entry into an attraction, event, or tour. It ensures that only authorized guests are admitted, capacity limits are maintained, and entry operations run smoothly.

In an all-in-one booking platform, an admission control system typically includes:

• Ticket validation → scanning QR codes, barcodes, or RFID passes at entry gates.

• Timed entry enforcement → confirming that guests arrive within their reserved time slot.

• POS integration → syncing on-site ticket sales instantly with availability and access.

• API connections with OTAs & affiliates → validating third-party bookings in real time.

• Capacity monitoring → tracking how many guests have entered versus remaining availability.

• Analytics & reporting → measuring throughput, peak entry times, and no-show rates.

By reducing fraud, preventing overcrowding, and improving flow at gates, admission control systems contribute directly to a better first impression and guest experience.
