Hi.Events is an alternative to Eventbrite, Tickettailor, and Dice.fm, eliminating per-ticket platform fees entirely when self-hosted. Event organizers create fully brandable event pages supporting paid, free, donation, and tiered ticket types with recurring and multi-date scheduling, sold-out waitlists that automatically release tickets when spots open, and product add-ons with category organization. Stripe Connect integration processes payments directly to the organizer's bank account with instant payouts, while offline payment methods support cash and invoice scenarios. Promo codes offer fixed or percentage discounts with usage limits, expiry dates, and promo-gated hidden tickets for VIP access. QR code check-in enables fast door scanning with multiple check-in lists, scan logs, and real-time attendance tracking across entry points. Custom checkout questions collect attendee information beyond standard fields, with advanced search, filtering, CSV and XLSX export, full and partial refunds, and bulk attendee messaging. The analytics dashboard tracks daily sales, revenue, tax breakdowns, product performance, and promo code usage with exportable reports, while affiliate tracking assigns custom codes to promoters with tracked sales data. Multi-user roles control organizer permissions, automatic invoicing generates receipts, and the REST API ships with interactive OpenAPI documentation. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
