What it is
Hi.Events is an event ticketing and management platform for concerts, conferences, festivals, club nights, workshops, and community events. Organizers can offer paid, free, donation, and tiered tickets, plus add-ons, promo codes, waitlists, and registration questions. Door staff can scan tickets or find attendees by name from a link; organizers can review sales reports and export them as CSV. Ticket payments go to the organizer’s Stripe account through Stripe Connect, rather than being held by Hi.Events between sale and payout. Cloud costs $0, with no monthly fee, and paid tickets carry a 1.25% + $0.60 fee; it includes unlimited events and ticket types, QR check-in, and embeddable checkout. Self-hosting is available under AGPL-3.0 at no charge, with the Powered by Hi.Events link kept visible and modifications published. Commercial licences start at €499 per year plus VAT for Standard, covering one production domain; Platform is €2,499 per year plus VAT for qualifying ticketing platforms. The software can be deployed in the cloud or self-hosted using Docker or manual server setup.
