Abstract: Methods and systems for generating and validating electronic tickets are disclosed. The systems include a server that is configured to host a centralized website through which a computer application may be downloaded into a plurality of user devices. The server is further configured to issue electronic tickets to the user devices that have downloaded the computer application; embed an encrypted visual identifier that is unique to an event in each electronic ticket; generate instructions to be issued to an event administrator that identifies a decrypted form of the visual identifier for each event; and include instructions within each electronic ticket that may be executed by an event administrator to convert the encrypted visual identifier that is shown in the electronic ticket of each user device into the decrypted form of the visual identifier.
