Queue ticket machine prices in 2026, and an alternative without the machine

October 20, 2026 · 5 min read

"How much does a queue ticket machine cost?" is harder to answer than it sounds. Most large manufacturers don't publish prices and ask you to request a quote. Those that do publish range from a few thousand lira to eighty thousand, depending on what the system includes. For this post we collected the prices that manufacturers and sellers in Turkey published on their own pages on 20 October 2026, with links, and then looked at what a queue without a dedicated machine costs.

Prices change: some sellers tie their prices to the US dollar, so the lira amount moves with the exchange rate. Check the seller's page before you decide.

Wireless ticket machine kits

Ready-made kits with a display panel, a keypad for the attendant and often a ticket printer:

• SANEC wireless fast-food queue system with printer: 24,788.54 TL (the manufacturer's own shop).
• SANEC wireless kiosk and printer queue system with LCD keypad: 32,225.10 TL; the base price includes one display panel, one keypad, a kiosk stand and the printer.
• Hepsimedikal wireless queue system (1–4 people): 25,866.30 TL.
• Otomasyononline wireless set for a one-doctor family health centre: 14,750 TL.
• Segaturk queue system for a family health centre (one doctor): 39,200 TL including VAT; the four-doctor version is 56,987 TL.

Most of these pages don't say whether VAT is included; Segaturk says so explicitly.

Ticket dispensers and kiosks

The device where visitors take their own number is the most expensive part of the system:

• Segaturk ticket dispensers: desk or wall type 29,792 TL, with buttons 37,044 TL, LCD touchscreen 78,204 TL; all including VAT.
• Dolunay LED touchscreen queue kiosk: 74,440.05 TL; the page also lists it as "1,250.00 USD + VAT".
• Otomasyononline floor-standing kiosk with ticket printer: 27,000 TL, made to order.
• Dolunay LED button ticket printer: 7,637.55 TL.

Call units and displays

Every counter needs a call unit, and the waiting room a main display:

• Segaturk: call unit 3,038 TL, 32-inch LCD main board 13,818 TL, ticket roll 35.28 TL; including VAT.
• Dolunay LED: call terminal 2,382.08 TL, counter display 3,870.88 TL, three-row main board 9,826.09 TL, a three-counter queue system 31,145.72 TL.

Thermal receipt printers

If the kiosk doesn't come with its own printer, an 80 mm receipt printer is bought separately. Two examples in stock on Akakçe: Xprinter XP-Q80A 2,599 TL, Epson TM-T20III 7,727.86 TL.

Those who don't publish prices

The pages of Randa, OMES, siramatik.com and Tümsaş show no prices, only an enquiry or contact form. These manufacturers quote their systems together with installation and software.

Same product, different price

The sales channel changes the price noticeably. The SANEC kiosk kit above costs 32,225.10 TL in the manufacturer's shop and 44,895.31 TL in the Amazon offer listed on Akakçe. When you ask for quotes, compare the same model across a few channels.

What sets the price?

• Number of counters: each counter means a call unit and often a display.
• How numbers are given out: a button printer costs a few thousand lira, a touchscreen kiosk tens of thousands.
• The display: a one-row LED board, or an LCD main screen in the waiting room?
• Installation and software: a large part of the price with manufacturers who quote.
• Running costs: ticket rolls, service, broken parts.

The alternative without a machine: a QR code queue

In a QR code queue visitors take their number on their own phone. They scan a QR code at the entrance, their number opens in the phone's browser, and the phone tells them when it's their turn. No app needed. They don't have to sit in the waiting room; they follow their place from wherever they are.

Everything a ticket machine does has a counterpart:

• Giving out numbers: the QR code. For people without a phone, a tablet in QR Wait's kiosk mode becomes a "Take a number" screen and, if you like, prints the number on a 58 or 80 mm receipt printer.
• The call display: any TV or screen with a browser shows the number being called and its counter, and reads it aloud.
• Counters and services: one queue is called from several counters; up to 10 services per queue, priority and transfers between counters.
• The attendant's keypad: the attendant opens the panel in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer and taps "Call next".

Without a machine doesn't mean without any hardware: you may want a tablet, a receipt printer and a TV. But none of them is made for queues; most businesses already have them, and otherwise any shop sells them.

What does it cost?

In QR Wait each group that joins uses one ticket. The first 250 tickets are free when you sign up; after that come one-time packs, and tickets never expire. As of October 2026 there is no monthly fee, no SMS credits and no per-location fee. The current packs, and how long each lasts at the number of groups you get a day, are on the pricing page.

When is a ticket machine the better choice?

To be honest, not everywhere:

• Most of your visitors don't carry a smartphone, or mobile coverage in the building is poor.
• You need a fixed installation tied into the building's other systems.
• You already have a machine that's installed, paid for and does the job.

Even then, kiosk mode can be a bridge: people who scan the QR code and people who take a number from the tablet move in one queue. The detailed comparison is on the ticket machine or QR code queue page, and you can try the demo in your browser without an account.
