GitHub - HiEventsDev/Hi.Events: Open-source event management and ticket selling platform — perfect for concerts, conferences, and everything in between 🎟️ If you find this project helpful, please consider giving us a star ⭐️

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.
