Sell event tickets online for free
in India

Free events are completely free on Vihaya Events. Paid events incur a 1.75–4.5% platform fee on ticket sales (the rate is banded by your expected event size) — no monthly subscriptions, no hidden charges, no credit card required to sign up. You keep ticket revenue minus the platform fee and standard Razorpay gateway fee.

BookMyShow does not publish what it charges an event organiser — its rates are quoted per event, and the convenience fee attendees see is a separate line. Vihaya publishes its full eight-band ladder and is self-serve, so a college fest or workshop can go live without a sales conversation.

The options most organisers compare are BookMyShow, Ticket9, MakeMyPass, KonfHub, Townscript and Vihaya Events. Compare the fee on paid tickets, whether a free event costs anything, and how fast you get paid. Vihaya is free for free events and 1.75–4.5% on paid tickets.

Vihaya publishes its whole rate table: nothing on free events, and 1.75–4.5% on paid tickets, banded by expected event size, plus the standard Razorpay gateway fee. Most Indian platforms quote a rate per event instead, so ask for it in writing before you commit.

Absolutely! Vihaya Events is purpose-built for college fests, tech fests, cultural events, and hackathons. You can create your event, set ticket prices (or make it free), customise your registration form, and start selling tickets online in minutes. Attendees get QR code tickets by email.

After registering or purchasing a ticket on Vihaya Events, attendees automatically receive a unique QR code ticket by email. On event day, organisers use our mobile check-in app to scan QR codes at the entry gate for instant, accurate check-in.

Ticket money is collected through Razorpay into your Vihaya balance. Request a payout any time once the balance reaches 100 rupees, and the UPI transfer usually lands within 2 working days.
