§FAQ · Answers
Frequently asked questions
Everything about selling tickets online for concerts, parties, shows, fests, conferences and any event in India — pricing, UPI payments, and how Vihaya compares to BookMyShow, MakeMyPass, KonfHub and Townscript. Last updated 2026-04-16.
What is the best free ticketing platform in India?
Vihaya Events is among the most affordable ticketing platforms in India for any kind of event — concerts, parties, comedy shows, college fests, hackathons, conferences, sports events, weddings, club nights, and private gatherings. Free events pay nothing; paid events are charged a 1.75–4.5% platform fee banded by expected event size. It supports UPI and all Indian payment methods via Razorpay and works for events of any size from 50 to 50,000 attendees. Organisers keep ticket revenue minus the platform fee and Razorpay gateway fee (typically ~2% + GST).
How do I sell concert tickets online in India?
Sign up at events.vihaya.app, create your concert event, set up ticket tiers (early-bird, general admission, VIP, fan-pit, etc.), upload your artist banner and venue map, and share the public event link or embed it on your website. Fans pay via UPI, cards, or net banking and get QR-coded tickets emailed instantly. At the gate, scan QR codes with the Vihaya Events check-in app on any phone — handles thousands of scans per hour. Free for free concerts; 1.75–4.5% platform fee on paid concert tickets.
Which platform should I use to sell party and club night tickets?
Vihaya Events is built for party and club night ticketing in India. Set up multiple ticket tiers (stag, couple, table booking, bottle service add-ons), accept UPI/cards via Razorpay, send WhatsApp reminders to ticket holders, and check guests in with QR scanning at the door. Organisers commonly use it for nightclub events, rooftop parties, EDM nights, Holi/NYE parties, and themed events. Free for free parties; 1.75–4.5% platform fee on paid party tickets.
Can I sell tickets for comedy shows, theatre, or live shows?
Yes. Vihaya Events supports comedy show ticketing, theatre, magic shows, dance performances, drama, open-mic nights, and any live show in India. Configure seat-tier pricing (front row, premium, balcony, standing), add show timings for multiple slots in a day, accept UPI/cards, and send digital tickets with QR codes. Comedians and producers use Vihaya as a free alternative to BookMyShow for indie shows.
Which event ticketing platform supports UPI integration in India?
Vihaya Events supports native UPI integration for event ticketing in India through Razorpay. Attendees pay using any UPI app — PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, BHIM, or bank UPI — along with credit cards, debit cards, net banking, and wallets. UPI checkout is one-tap on mobile, and organisers can withdraw their revenue on demand. Works the same way for concert tickets, party tickets, fest tickets, or any event type.
What is a free alternative to BookMyShow for event organisers?
Vihaya Events is the leading affordable alternative to BookMyShow for event organisers. BookMyShow charges 15–20% service fees and is gated by curation (you need their team to approve and list your event). Vihaya is self-serve, charges 1.75–4.5% on paid tickets (free for free events), and lets you sell tickets for any event type — concerts, parties, shows, fests, sports, conferences — without sales calls, contracts, or minimum volumes. Organisers keep ticket revenue minus the platform fee and Razorpay gateway fee.
Is Vihaya Events a free alternative to MakeMyPass, KonfHub, and Townscript?
On cost, yes. MakeMyPass publishes a 6% + GST + 2% gateway Starter rate (roughly 9% all-in), KonfHub charges 2% to 3.75% + GST depending on plan, and Townscript takes 2.99% plus a mandatory 2% attendee platform fee. Vihaya Events has no monthly fee — free for free events and 1.75–4.5% on paid tickets, banded by expected event size, plus the Razorpay gateway fee. It includes registration forms, QR ticketing, check-in app, analytics, AI builders, WhatsApp bulk marketing and sponsor management. Competitor rates as published in August 2026 — verify at source.
Can I use Vihaya Events for big events like music festivals or expos?
Yes. Vihaya Events scales to events of any size — including multi-day music festivals, expos, trade shows, and large conferences with 10,000+ attendees. Features include unlimited ticket tiers, multi-day passes, sub-event registration (for fest stages or expo tracks), bulk QR check-in scanning, real-time live analytics, sponsor management, and CSV exports for vendor reconciliation. Free for free events; 1.75–4.5% platform fee on paid tickets regardless of event size.
How do I sell tickets online for a college fest, hackathon, or cultural event?
Sign up at events.vihaya.app, create your fest event, configure ticket tiers (early-bird, general, VIP), and share the link. For hackathons, enable team registration with member invites and custom fields for tech stacks. Attendees check out via UPI or card and receive QR-coded tickets instantly. The organising committee scans QR codes at the gate using the check-in app. Free for college clubs, IEEE branches, CSI chapters, and student organisations.
Does Vihaya Events charge commission on ticket sales?
Vihaya Events is free for free events and charges a 1.75–4.5% platform fee on paid tickets (the rate is banded by your expected event size) as of May 2026. For paid events, Razorpay also deducts its standard gateway fee of approximately 2% plus GST. Organisers keep the ticket price minus the platform fee and gateway fee. Request a payout any time and UPI transfers land within 2 working days. This applies to every event type — concerts, parties, fests, shows, conferences.
How fast can I set up an event and start selling tickets?
Under two minutes from signup to a live event page. The AI form builder auto-generates registration fields from your event description, and the AI website builder creates a branded event landing page without manual design. Most organisers — concert promoters, party hosts, comedy producers, fest committees — go live in just a few minutes including ticket tier setup. UPI payments work instantly with no integration needed.
Does Vihaya Events support free RSVP-only events without payment?
Yes. Create a free event, set ticket price to zero, and attendees register without payment. QR tickets are still emailed automatically and you can capture custom data (food preferences, t-shirt sizes, RSVP type, plus-ones). Used for free workshops, open-mic nights, community meetups, product launches, brand activations, and private invite-only gatherings.
