Revel

Revel is an event platform for communities, clubs and independent venues. It handles ticketing, RSVPs and memberships without ads or data mining, and it's built for groups that find mainstream tools too expensive or too invasive. If you're weighing an Eventbrite alternative, this is aimed at that gap.

• Ticketing & RSVPs: free or paid events, ticket tiers, reserved seating and QR check-in at the door.
• Seat maps: design a venue layout and price by zone or by individual seat.
• Memberships & passes: monthly or annual plans, class passes for a series, members-only events and membership cards in the phone wallet.
• Door policy: questionnaires screen attendees before they see the address, and guest lists stay private.
• Potluck boards: guests sign up for dishes, with dietary flags included.

Three audiences get specific attention. Theaters and comedy clubs get a full box office. Gyms, yoga studios, dance schools and choirs get recurring billing and class RSVPs. Queer collectives, supper clubs and book circles get vetting tools and privacy.

Pricing is simple. Free events cost nothing. Paid tickets cost 3% plus €0.50 only when Revel processes the payment, and cash or wire transfers can be managed in the dashboard for free.

Privacy is the default: GDPR-native, no trackers, only essential cookies, and membership data stays with the organizer. The code is fully public and auditable. Run it on Revel's servers or host it yourself.
