Carrington Rally Steam & Heritage Show

Two tools. One show.

Peg & Pitch is two interfaces in one: a fast, touch-friendly terminal for gate staff, and a full admin panel for show organisers.

For staff

Gate checkout terminal

Designed for touch screens and phones. Search for any exhibitor in seconds, see their allocation at a glance, and issue tickets with a single tap. Works on any device at the gate.

For organisers

Admin panel

Upload your exhibitor spreadsheet and you're ready to go. Monitor live issuance by section, review every transaction, and manage your show settings from one place.

Learn more

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Excel upload

Drop in your existing allocation spreadsheet. Exhibitors and ticket types are created automatically from the column headers. Re-uploading overwrites details but preserves issuance history.

Over-issuance prevention

Atomic database transactions ensure no exhibitor can be issued more tickets than their allocation, even if two terminals process the same exhibitor at the same moment.

Multi-terminal ready

Run as many checkout terminals as you need simultaneously. Phones, tablets, and desktop PCs all work. No specialist hardware required.

Live reports

See issued vs. remaining totals broken down by ticket type and by section. Filter by date range to understand show-day patterns at a glance.

Telegram notifications

Section managers receive a Telegram message when their exhibitors are issued tickets, when the first arrival of the day happens, or when an exception is raised.

Automatic backups

Your data is backed up automatically in the background. You never need to think about it, and if anything ever goes wrong we can restore to a recent snapshot in minutes.

Staff management

Name each terminal so every transaction is traceable. Staff and organiser access is managed separately, so the right people always have the right level of access.

Exception handling

When tickets need to be issued beyond an exhibitor's allocation, staff select a pre-defined exception reason. These are flagged separately in the transaction log and can trigger Telegram alerts.

Multi-show support

Each show installation is entirely independent. Run multiple shows on a single server, each with its own database, domain, port, and credentials.

Designed for the gate, not the desk.

The checkout terminal is built for speed under pressure. Large touch targets, instant search, and a single tap to issue. The admin panel gives organisers the full picture from any device.

Section managers get Telegram alerts.

Optional but powerful. Connect a Telegram bot and section managers receive real-time messages when their exhibitors collect tickets, when the first arrival of the day happens, or when an exception is raised.

  • Every issuance: real-time message on each ticket issue
  • First arrival: only fires the first time an exhibitor collects
  • Exceptions: immediate alert when tickets are issued under an exception
  • Kiosk messaging: staff can send free-text messages to managers from the terminal
