Hi.Events - Open-source alternative to Eventbrite & Tito

Hi ProductHunt 👋, I'm Dave, and I'm thrilled to introduce the world to Hi.Events, an open-source event management and ticket-selling platform. I created Hi.Events because there are very few modern, open-source ticketing platforms, and many SaaS ticketing applications charge outrageous fees. My goal is to offer a more affordable and flexible solution for event organizers through an open-source platform. Whether you're hosting a conference or a yoga class, Hi.Events has all the features you need to run a successful and stress-free event. Some of the features include:

• Embeddable Ticket Widgets: Use our "Widget Designer" tool to create embeddable widgets that perfectly match your brand. 🎨
• Beautiful Event Homepages: Create captivating event pages with a variety of customization options to showcase your event in the best light. ✨
• Intuitive Check-In Tools: Streamline the check-in process to ensure quick and efficient entry for attendees. No need to download a separate check-in app; we've created a mobile and web check-in tool. 📱
• Event Messaging Tools: Keep your attendees informed and engaged by sending updates, announcements, and reminders, all within Hi.Events. 📣
• Custom Order Forms: Tailor the registration process to suit your event needs. From dietary preferences to T-shirt sizes, you can ask your attendees anything during checkout. 📝
• Multiple Ticket Types: Offer a variety of ticket options, including donations, free tickets, and tiered pricing. 🎟️
• Event Analytics: Gain valuable insights into your event's performance, track ticket sales, and more. 📊
• Versatile Promo Codes: Boost ticket sales with discounts, presale access, and hidden tickets. 💸

And there's so much more! From Stripe integration and instant payouts to role-based access and offline event tools, Hi.Events is designed to make your event management experience as smooth as possible. 💆‍

We will also be introducing a cloud-based version in the very near future. ☁️

You can check out the GitHub here: https://github.com/HiEventsDev/hi.events (A star would be much appreciated ⭐️). And our website is https://hi.events

I'm more than happy to answer any questions.

Thanks for taking the time to look 😄

Edit: Also, we'd love if you could follow our journey on X. Thank you!

Hi Dave, the embeddable ticket widgets seem pretty versatile. Could you explain more about the customization options available for these widgets?

Hi Dave, Hi.Events sounds like a fantastic alternative to the big names in event management! I’m especially interested in the embeddable ticket widgets and the versatile promo codes. Can you share a bit more about how the analytics feature works and what kind of insights it provides? Also, any plans to integrate with other payment platforms besides Stripe in the future? Congrats on the launch!

This is exactly what event organizers need. The embeddable ticket widget, custom event pages and easy check-in tools are fantastic.

Love the addition of glasshole kitty in the video, haha.

It is great to see such a platform built in open source. And as it says, I'm also looking forward to the cloud version. Congratulations on the launch 🚀

Hi Events seems amazing. Congratulations to the team for the PH launch!

such a cool software, will try to self-hosted myself

The no service fees aspect is a game-changer, making it accessible for small event organizers.

What's the motivation behind making it open-source?

I think adding a mobile app could significantly improve user accessibility and convenience.

Congrats on the launch, Dave! Hi.Events sounds like a fantastic tool for event organizers, especially with its open-source nature making it more affordable and flexible. As someone in customer support, managing and tracking our event registrations smoothly is crucial. Hi.Events' intuitive check-in tools and versatile promo codes could make my job easier. Question - how does Hi.Events handle data privacy and security for attendees? Looking forward to checking it out!

Looks like a neat product - love that it's open-source. Best of luck with the launch!

This open-source event management platform sounds like a game-changer for anyone looking to manage events without the burden of high service fees. Excited to see how it empowers users to take full control of their events and data.

Hey Hi.Events team, I must say, your product looks seriously cool. From one techie to another, I know how tough it is to produce a quality product like this. The fact that you're offering an open-source alternative that gives the control back to the users, huge kudos for that. 🙌 Also, who wouldn't appreciate saving some extra cash on service fees, right? I can already see event organizers throwing a mini party with the amount saved! 😄 Keep up the great work guys! Would love to see where you take this.

This is pretty cool, I see lots of great features similar to Luma, eventbrite and the bunch. It's so cool that you open sourced this - props to you! Congrats on launching this great event management and ticketing system @dave_earley1 and team! I think one way to promote is to build some event pages for upcoming events that you can share with the organizer (and tell them they can take it over for free).

The open-source nature provides flexibility and customization for users. Good luck team.

Congratulations on the launch of Hi.Events on Product Hunt! It's great to see an open-source alternative to Eventbrite & Tito that gives users more control over their events and data. The platform looks feature-packed and perfect for a wide range of events. Excited to see how it grows and helps event organizers.

The customizable event pages and embeddable widgets are perfect for branding. Awesome launch, Dave!

Hi Dave, Hi.Events looks like a fantastic open-source solution for event management! As someone who's organized events before, I really appreciate the focus on affordability and flexibility. I'm particularly impressed by the embeddable ticket widgets and the intuitive check-in tools. The fact that there's no need for a separate check-in app is a huge plus. I'm curious about the analytics feature. What kind of insights does it provide? Are there any plans to integrate with other analytics platforms in the future? Also, it's great to hear about the upcoming cloud-based version. Can you share any details on how this will differ from the current open-source offering? Looking forward to seeing Hi.Events grow. I've started following you on X and will definitely be keeping an eye on your progress!
