The useful parts. The trade-offs.

Why consider it

Core ticketing can run without a platform fee

Own infrastructure provides control over event data

What to keep in mind

Advanced ticketing features need Enterprise licensing

Hosting and payment processing are separate costs

How to use it well

Build a test event with the ticket quantities, attendee questions and refund rules you expect to use. Complete a sample purchase and check the confirmation email before inviting real attendees, then verify how staff will find and manage orders.

Keep the required Hi.Events attribution visible on generated pages and emails. The free self-hosted core has no platform fee, but payment processing and infrastructure still cost separately. Review Enterprise licensing before planning reserved seating, card-reader box office or per-account single sign-on.
