Why Hi.Events?

Most ticketing platforms charge per-ticket fees and lock your data into their ecosystem. Hi.Events is a modern, open-source alternative to Eventbrite, Tickettailor, Dice.fm, and other ticketing platforms for organizers who want full control over branding, checkout, data, and infrastructure.

Built for nightlife promoters, festival organizers, venues, community groups, and conference hosts.
