I'm looking into setting up a wireless network for a customer at a pub for their customers to use, does anyone know of any cheap / free software that will allow customers to connect using vouchers or purchased tickets for x amount of time.

can't suggest any software but perhaps you could try and contact other places which offer similiar services and see what they use, there review of the software etc.

http://dev.wifidog.org/ May be what you are looking for, it's 'captive portal' software, that locks users into a certain webpage/website until they have authenticated (or in this case, paid

)

Alternatively, there is a product called a Zyxel G4100 (do some googling).

This is a local hotspot gateway and requires no remote server to generate usernames or welcome portals. It has the added bonus of a cable attached voucher printer too.
