Hi Danie,

Our small historic house museum uses a ticket system... like the red ones
you can buy at any home office store. That way, with half of the ticket (I
keep the "Keep this Ticket" end), you have a tangible record of the number
of guests that came in. So far, it's been working well and is fairly cheap.

Hope this helps!

Erin
