Hi Ricard,
I have just been to Oz Comic con and they have started usung bar code readers for photo and autograph tickets. Of course this is Australia and we are usually so far behind everyone else, but thought that it was a good idea to save money printing official looking tickets. (just in case you didn't know. If you need to know more I can elaborate, but I didn't want to rabbit on about that which you are already aware of).

Stargategirl:
I have a suggestive question. ;) With recent seating arrangement issues, has there been any thought about using Kickstarter, GoFundMe, or other fundraising entities to help raise money to buy the software that airlines use for seating? Another convention organization implemented this seating program in 2008-2009 for future events to eliminate the complaints received from past conventions. In an email sent to us on their subscription list, we were told it would cost ~$30,000. But I know that much could be collected from ST ticket sales alone. I'm not sure who would provide site maintenance if it were to be used for future Gatecon conventions.

Richard:
Something we could look at for future events though at that price for now it's us manually assigning seats hehe
Kickstarter could be the way to go for it though.

At least this way I get to be familiar with each and every name on the ticket list!!

There are quite a few options out there for managing events. Here's a list of quite a few for future consideration with relatively decent pricing schemes: http://www.capterra.com/event-management-software/
