Hey up. I am an anarchist and software developer of 20+ years and I really hate predatory ticket sales platforms that add junk fees and take money away from artists and spy on their users, so I built Chobble Tickets which is a fully free and open source (no open core / premium features / corporate licenses) ticket sales app.
It’s built on Bunny CDN’s “Edge Scripts” (which themselves run on Deno) which gives it cool scaling features out of the box - and it also means the running cost is very low because there’s no servers and it scales down to zero
It includes features like:
- QR code check-ins
- Encrypted attendee information
- Stripe & Square payments
- Public and admin APIs
- Tiered tickets
- Custom questions
- CSV exports
- Webhook support
- Custom domains
- Custom email providers
- More I’m forgetting
You can get it up and running yourself very quickly, or I’m also offering paid hosting at £50 per year, £25 for artists, musicians, charities and co-operatives. Or some other nerd can host it for you, because it’s easy.
(AI warning - I use Claude to help with my coding. This is nowhere near vibe-coded - the code is quite good actually because I have two decades of experience. But if you’re super anti-AI, be warned that I used AI when building this)
You can self host it with Docker. Prexit is great for its own market but it has more complex hosting requirements, premium plugins and an enterprise license setup - i wanted to make something fully free and open at all levels and very cheap (near free) to host
