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.

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 via email and WhatsApp.

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

Vihaya Events supports all major Indian payment methods including UPI (PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm), credit cards, debit cards, and net banking. Payments go directly to your account — we do not hold your money.
