Alf.io

Open source event ticketing and reservation system

Visit Alf.io

Alf.io is a free and open source event attendance management system designed for event organizers who need to handle ticket distribution, event management, and reporting while maintaining control over attendee data and avoiding additional fees. It addresses the need for a secure, privacy-focused alternative to commercial ticketing platforms, allowing organizers to keep sensitive data away from large third-party services.

The system includes a public ticket shop where attendees can reserve or buy tickets, a backoffice for organizers to manage events, and a mobile check-in app for iOS and Android. An offline-capable check-in station powered by a Raspberry Pi is also available, which can print badges on-site and prevent duplicate check-ins even without an internet connection. Alf.io supports payments through Stripe, Mollie, Revolut, PayPal, and bank transfer, and can integrate with third-party tools via extensions. The interface is available in multiple languages, including Italian, English, Spanish, German, Dutch, French, Turkish, Romanian, and Portuguese.

Alf.io is intended for organizers of conferences, trade shows, workshops, and meetups. As open source software, it can be used, modified, and redistributed freely, and can be deployed on various cloud platforms such as Heroku, Openshift, and Google Kubernetes Engine. A premium hosted version called Swicket is also available, offering advanced features like CRM integrations and dedicated support.
