Find the setup that matches how you run events

EventMS Pro is one platform, but the reason people buy it differs. Pick the closest fit below for a detailed breakdown, or go straight to pricing.

Eventbrite alternative

The Eventbrite alternative you actually own

Eventbrite works well until you sell volume. Then the per-ticket fee becomes the single largest line item in your event budget, and it grows every year you succeed. EventMS Pro takes the other side of that trade: you license the platform once, install it on your own server, and keep every dollar of every ticket you sell.

White label ticketing software, without the white label subscription

Most "white label" ticketing is still someone else’s platform with your logo on it. You rent it monthly, your data lives with the vendor, and if you stop paying, the platform disappears along with your attendee list. EventMS Pro is white label in the literal sense: you receive the platform, it runs on your infrastructure, and it is branded as yours because it is yours.

Self-hosted event ticketing, installed and running in days

Self-hosting usually means a weekend of dependency errors before you see a login screen. It does not here. You buy the license, and within 1–2 business days we install EventMS Pro on your server, point your domain at it, connect your payment keys, and hand you working admin credentials.

Event management software built for organizations, not solo organizers

Most event tools assume one person running one event. Organizations do not work that way. You have multiple departments or clients publishing events, an approval step before anything goes live, finance asking where the money settled, and a door team that needs to scan tickets without access to anything else. EventMS Pro is built around that structure.

Event ticketing for universities, on infrastructure you control

A university runs hundreds of events a year across departments, faculties, societies, and athletics, most of them free, some ticketed, all of them needing to look like they belong to the institution. Per-ticket SaaS pricing fits that badly, and student data sitting on a third-party platform fits it worse.

Venue ticketing with real seating charts, owned outright

A venue sells the same seats every week. Paying a percentage of every one of those tickets, forever, to rent seating software is a peculiar arrangement once you total it up across a season. EventMS Pro gives you the seating engine, the box office, and the door scanning as a one-time purchase.

What ticketing fees really cost you per year

Percentage fees feel small per ticket and large per year. The arithmetic is simple enough to do on the back of an envelope, so here it is in full, with the numbers you can check against your own sales report.

EventMS Pro and Hi.Events, compared honestly

Hi.Events is a good open-source ticketing platform, and if it fits your needs it is a legitimately strong option at a lower price. These are different products for different buyers, so rather than pretend otherwise, here is a straight comparison to help you pick correctly.

Ticketing software with seating charts built in, not bolted on

Reserved seating is usually the feature that forces an upgrade to a platform's expensive tier, or a second piece of software wired to the first. Here it ships in the box: build the room once, reuse it for every event, and sell seats online and at the door from the same inventory.

What EventMS Pro connects to

The usual worry about a self-hosted platform is that it will be a closed box: fine as shipped, impossible to connect to anything else. That is not how this is built. Payments, real-time updates, authentication, media, and calendar feeds all run through documented, swappable integrations, and the whole platform sits behind a REST API you can call from your own systems.

GDPR-compliant ticketing starts with where the data lives

For an event platform, GDPR is mostly a question about location and control. Attendee records are personal data: names, email addresses, purchase history, sometimes accessibility requirements. When that sits in a US-hosted SaaS platform, you are the controller but you do not hold the data, and every subject access request or deletion goes through someone else’s process. Self-hosting changes the shape of the problem.
