Share your event with short codes and QR codes

How attendees find your event in the FestiFox app, and how to track where they found it.

Updated November 3, 2026

Attendees find your event in the FestiFox app by typing its short code or scanning one of its QR codes. Both are on the event's Event Finder page.

The short code

Every event in the FestiFox app has a short code: 4 letters or numbers, chosen when you bought the event. Put it on your website, posters and tickets, and tell attendees to open the FestiFox app and enter it.

Short codes are unique: no other event will ever use yours, even after your event is over, so a code on an old poster can never lead to someone else's event.

To change an event's short code, contact FestiFox support.

Track where attendees found you

Attendees can type up to 2 more letters or numbers after the code, and the app still finds your event. Use them as a tag for where you shared it: for example SUMR on posters, SUMRIG on Instagram and SUMRTX on tickets. Insights shows how many people entered each one.

QR codes

Make QR codes on the QR codes tab of the Event Finder. Give each one a name for where it's going, such as "Main stage poster" or "Wristband table", then download it (PNG or SVG) to print or share.

  • Scanned with the FestiFox app, it opens your event straight away.
  • Scanned with a phone's camera, it opens a page on festifox.app that shows the event and how to get the app.

Insights counts scans made in the app for each QR code, by its name. Scans with a phone's camera aren't counted.

If attendees can't find the event with either, see Attendees can't find my event.
