Prepare a paper doorlist with a clear version and an owner

Last materially reviewed 2026-09-28

Quick answerA printed list is a snapshot; show when it was made and how later changes reach the door.
What to know

Define the snapshot

Write the event occurrence, export time and included ticket types on the working copy. A list without that context can look complete while representing the wrong scope. Decide who owns the final version and how obsolete copies will be withdrawn. Printing another copy is not a synchronization mechanism. The people using it should know whether it is a primary method, an investigation aid or a fallback during a specific failure.

What to know

Filter before printing

The Ticket Tailor export guide describes filtering ticket validity and notes that the export itself does not show a valid-versus-void status column. For your workflow, verify the selected filters and include only fields necessary at the entrance. Do not expose payment or unrelated attendee answers simply because an export permits them. Check that the printed text is readable under the actual working conditions and that the page order is unmistakable.

What to know

Plan changes after the export

If sales, cancellations or transfers continue, the list can become stale. Decide how authorized changes are recorded and how a volunteer identifies the latest instruction. Avoid creating several independent handwritten versions with no reconciliation owner. Keep notes secure and follow the organization’s retention arrangements after the event. This guide does not tell you how long private attendee data must legally be retained; use the applicable policy and advice.

What to know

A fictional version check

The lead produces Doorlist A after sales close and marks its date and time. A late exception is approved afterward. Instead of silently scribbling on one entrance copy, the lead follows the agreed update route and records which operators received it. At close, the copies and exception record return to one owner. The acceptance question is whether the team can explain the status of later changes, not merely whether the printer produced pages.

Next: Late ticket sales

If ticket records can change during admission, define how each entrance learns about the change.
