Why Hi.Events?

Most ticketing platforms take a fee on every ticket and keep your customer data. Hi.Events is an open-source alternative to Eventbrite, Tickettailor, Dice.fm and other ticketing platforms that gives you full control over your branding, checkout and data.

Trusted by thousands of event organizers worldwide — from nightlife promoters and festivals to venues, community groups, and conference hosts. Run it yourself, or let us run it for you on Hi.Events Cloud.
