Pretix

An open source ticketing system for event organizers who want to own their data and avoid platform fees.

About Pretix

Pretix is a self-hosted ticketing platform built for events of any size. It handles the full lifecycle of ticket sales from creating event pages and managing seating charts to processing payments and checking attendees in at the door. The software runs on your own server so you control the data and avoid per-ticket fees charged by commercial services.

It supports multiple payment backends including Stripe, PayPal, and bank transfers. Pretix offers a REST API for custom integrations and plugins for features like waiting lists, discount codes, and multilingual event pages. The system runs on Linux with Python and PostgreSQL and includes a built-in QR code scanner app for Android and iOS.

The project was founded by Raphael Michel and is maintained by the company rami.io GmbH. Pretix is released under the Apache 2.0 license making it free to self-host. It is especially popular among European academic conferences and cultural institutions that require GDPR compliant ticketing.
