College Fest Ticketing on Vihaya Events — at a glance
Vihaya Events is a college fest platform built for student bodies, IEEE/CSI chapters, and cultural committees — it runs the fest itself, not only the ticket sale. Mega events with sub-event registration (each track is its own page with separate tickets and its own gate), per-track check-in that refuses a ticket for another track, a food scanner with per-ticket meal limits and veg/non-veg flags, a live registration ticker for a projector wall, team registration for hackathons, custom registration fields (college name, department, year, GitHub handle), UPI checkout including direct-to-college UPI for teams without a payment gateway, and self-serve verifiable certificates attendees collect themselves. Free for free events; 1.75–4.5% on paid tickets only. Used by IEEE SPS Kerala (SIGNAL 4.0), ISTE TKMCE (ATHENA), and dozens of college chapters across India.

6 steps from signup to live event. Most organisers go live in under 5 minutes.
Sign up, add fest name (e.g., "ATHENA '26"), dates, host college, and overall description. Upload fest poster.
For each fest event (workshops, hackathons, performances, talks), add a sub-event with its own date, capacity, ticket price, and registration form.
For hackathons, enable team registration with member invites. Team leads invite members; members confirm via email link. Custom fields for tech stacks and project ideas.
Vihaya generates one parent URL with all sub-events listed. Promote on Instagram, college groups, and WhatsApp, where every link shows a proper preview.
Students register for one or many sub-events. Pay via UPI for paid events; free for free events. QR tickets sent instantly per sub-event.
Scan QR codes at each event entrance. After the fest, generate personalised certificates for checked-in attendees and bulk-email them.
Each fest event (e.g., REGENESIS, MECHTRIX, BITQUEST in ATHENA '26) gets its own page with capacity, pricing, and check-in flow. Indexed separately by Google.
Team leads invite 2–5 members via email; each confirms attendance. Custom fields for GitHub handles, resumes, and project ideas. Track teams from registration to submission.
One click adds college name, department, year and other common fields, plus your own event-specific questions. Saves hours of manual setup.
Design a certificate template once, then auto-generate personalised PDFs for every checked-in attendee. Bulk-email after the fest. Required for IEEE/CSI student credit.
Email fest announcements, schedule changes, and venue details to every registered student, or one track at a time. Add your fest WhatsApp group link to every ticket email.
Tier sponsors (Title, Gold, Silver, Associate). Showcase logos on the fest page. Generate sponsor reports for ROI tracking — useful for next-year sponsor pitches.
