What is it?

Hi.Events is an open-source platform for organizers who sell tickets to conferences, concerts, nightlife events, workshops and festivals. It covers the full flow from event setup and ticket types through checkout, payments and attendee management, so organizers can keep control of their branding and customer data instead of relying on a third-party ticketing marketplace.

Organizers can create one-off or recurring events with per-date prices and capacity, sell paid, free, donation or tiered tickets, and use promo codes, waitlists and embeddable ticket widgets on their own sites. Payouts go to the organizer's own Stripe account. On the day of the event, check-in works through a phone camera or USB scanner, with shareable check-in lists showing live counts.

The application is built with Laravel and React, uses PostgreSQL and Redis, and can be run with Docker using an all-in-one compose setup. It also provides a REST API with API keys and webhooks. Some features, such as reserved seating and the box office, fall under a separate enterprise license.
