College Fest Ticketing on Vihaya Events — at a glance

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.

How college fest ticketing works on Vihaya Events

6 steps from signup to live event. Most organisers go live in under 5 minutes.

1. Create the parent fest event

Sign up, add fest name (e.g., "ATHENA '26"), dates, host college, and overall description. Upload fest poster.

2. Add sub-events

For each fest event (workshops, hackathons, performances, talks), add a sub-event with its own date, capacity, ticket price, and registration form.

3. Configure team registration

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.

4. Share the fest link

Vihaya generates one parent URL with all sub-events listed. Promote on Instagram, college groups, and WhatsApp. AI website builder creates a branded fest landing page.

5. Attendees register per event

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.

6. Scan + certify at the fest

Scan QR codes at each event entrance. After the fest, generate personalised certificates for checked-in attendees and bulk-email them.

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.

WhatsApp campaigns

Send fest announcements, schedule changes, and venue details to all registered students via WhatsApp. 95%+ open rates beat email by a mile.

Use Vihaya Events' mega event feature. Create a parent fest event (e.g., "ATHENA '26"), then add sub-events for each fest activity (workshops, hackathons, performances, talks). Each sub-event has its own page, capacity, ticket price, and check-in flow. Students register per event.

Can I run a hackathon registration with team formation on Vihaya?
