Self-hosted event management and ticketing

AIThis description was written by a model from public signals. The facts behind it are listed under Evidence.

Problem

Event organizers need to manage registrations, sell tickets, and check in attendees, but existing commercial platforms charge per-transaction fees or monthly subscriptions, and lack the flexibility or data privacy of self-hosted solutions.

Solution concept

A self-hosted event management platform that event organizers deploy on their own infrastructure, eliminating per-ticket fees and payment processing fees, while giving them full control over attendee data and the ability to customize the ticketing flow to their specific needs.

Who has it

Event organizers running conferences, concerts, festivals, and other events of varying sizes who want to avoid transaction fees and retain control over attendee data.

How they handle it today

Today they use commercial ticketing platforms like Eventbrite, Ticket Tailor, or Tito, which handle registration, payment processing, and check-in but take a percentage of ticket sales and monthly fees.

Why now

Growing awareness of data privacy, desire to reduce fees and platform dependency, and increasing comfort with self-hosting among technical event organizers as cloud infrastructure becomes more accessible.

How it could charge

Freemium or tiered pricing based on event size or features, with premium tiers for advanced features like custom branding, integrations, or managed hosting; alternatively, a one-time license or support subscription for self-hosted deployments.
