What Hi.Events 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, or tiered tickets, with add-ons, promo codes, waitlists, and registration questions. Door staff can scan tickets or search attendee names from a link; organizers can review sales reports or export them as CSV. Ticket payments go to the organizer’s Stripe account through Stripe Connect, and Hi.Events says it does not hold funds between sale and payout. Checkout can be embedded on an organizer’s website, with setup guidance for WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, and Shopify. A single event can schedule up to 1,200 sessions, with date-specific price, capacity, and time settings. The product is available as a cloud service or self-hosted software deployed with Docker or manual server setup. Self-hosting keeps data on the customer’s infrastructure, and the software is published under AGPL-3.0. The free Cloud plan has no monthly fee; paid tickets incur a 1.25% + $0.60 fee. Commercial licences start at €499 / year + VAT.

Who it suits

Hi.Events suits organizers who need ticket sales, registration, check-in, and event reporting, including those running multi-session events. Self-hosting is an option for organizations that need attendee data on their own infrastructure.
