Check in walk-in guests
When an attendee arrives without a ticket or prior registration, add them as a guest from your event dashboard and check them in immediately.
Add the walk-in from the door
Open the event in your Eventually dashboard.
Go to the Guests section.
Click Add Guest to open the registration panel.
Enter the walk-in's details:
Full Name
Email Address
Ticket Type — Choose the appropriate option if your event has multiple ticket types.
Fill out any required custom registration fields.
Leave Send confirmation email checked if the walk-in should receive the branded ticket confirmation (it is on by default), or uncheck it to skip the email.
Click Register Attendee to add the guest to your roster.
To register several walk-ins at once, switch to Paste list mode. Enter one guest per line as Name, Email, select the ticket type, and click Add N guest(s). Lines without a valid email are skipped automatically. Bulk paste does not send confirmation emails.
Check them in from the roster
Newly added guests appear in the Guests list right away. To mark the walk-in as present:
Open check-in from your event page.
Search for the guest by name or email.
Press Enter to check them in.
If the search finds exactly one match, pressing Enter marks them checked in automatically and clears the field for the next guest.
For full door setup including QR code scanning and offline mode, see Using QR code check-in.
At capacity events
If your event is at capacity, a warning appears: This event is at capacity. Adding an attendee will exceed the limit. Manual additions cannot be oversold: if the requested number of tickets exceeds the seats left, the add is refused and you see the shortfall rather than a partial registration.

What happens if an email is invalid
If you type a malformed or blank email address when registering a walk-in, an error message appears directly under the Email Address field. The form keeps everything you typed, so you can fix the email and click Register Attendee again without re-entering the other details.
When you paste a list of walk-ins, the server validates every email. Any line with a malformed or blank email now shows a specific inline error in the results rather than failing silently. Correct the line and re-submit the list if needed.
