Why organizers move to Hi.Events

We’ve used Hi.Events now for a few events and really love it. It’s also been fun to see improvements roll out as we go. We’re definitely never going back to Eventbrite.

The gap is yours to use

You can add a booking fee of your own on top of the ticket price and keep all of it. Because our fee is so much smaller than DICE's, you can charge one and still hand your fans a cheaper ticket than they are used to.

§ 06 · FAQ

Before your next night

What does it cost?
Free events are free. Paid tickets are 1.25% plus a small fixed amount per ticket: $0.60 in the US, £0.45 in the UK, €0.50 in the EU and A$0.85 in Australia. There is no monthly fee and no contract. You can pass the fee to the buyer or absorb it, and card processing is charged separately by Stripe.See pricing →
When do I get paid?
You connect your own Stripe account and card payments settle into it as tickets sell, not after the event. Deposits, DJ fees and production costs are covered from the first release, and there is no minimum payout to reach.Connecting Stripe →
How does the door work?
You create a check-in list and send your door staff a link. They open it on their phone, with no app to install and no account to create, and scan tickets with the camera or a USB scanner, or search a name and tap. Every device on the door sees the same live count, and a check-in can be undone in one tap.Check-in lists →
Can I charge my own booking fee?
Yes. Add a service fee in your account settings, as a percentage or a fixed amount, and apply it to whichever ticket types you want. It is added on top of the price at checkout and all of it is yours. Because the Hi.Events fee is a fraction of a 10% booking fee, you can charge one of your own and your fans still pay less than they are used to.Taxes and fees →
Can I run a guest list?
Yes. Create a free ticket that is hidden from the event page and unlocked by a promo code, then give the code to whoever you want on the list. Or add guests by hand from the dashboard without an order. Either way they show on the same check-in list as paying ticket holders.
Can I see what each promoter sold?
Yes. Give each promoter a tracked link, a promo code, or both. The dashboard shows sales by link and by code, and the daily sales and promo code reports export as CSV when it is time to settle up.
Do attendees need an app?
No. They check out on your event page from their phone, get their ticket by email with a QR code, and show it at the door. Someone who buys while they queue is on the check-in list the moment the payment goes through.
