Alf.io [ˈalfjo] is a free and open source event attendance management system, developed for event organizers who care about privacy, security and fair pricing policy for their customers.
It features an ecosystem of tools to cover the lifecycle of an event from ticket distribution, to event management, to reporting.

  • Alf.io web application

    GPLv3 GitHub repository

    Public, the ticket shop, where people can reserve/buy their tickets

    Alf.io supports payments through Stripe (Credit Cards), Mollie (Credit Cards, iDEAL, Bancontact, ING Home Pay, Belfius, KBC/CBC, Przelewy24), Revolut, Paypal, Bank Transfer, as well as on-site payments. It is possible to integrate it with 3rd party tools (eg. a CRM system) through Extensions.

    Backoffice, the admin area for the event organizers

  • Alf.io Scan

    Apache2 GitHub repository

    Mobile app available for iOS and Android, which can be used by:

    • Check-in operators, to perform check-in of attendees for small events, or where on-site printing is not needed
    • Sponsors/Exhibitors, to scan attendees’ badges and collect leads

  • Alf.io-PI

    GPLv3 GitHub repository

    RaspberryPI-powered, touchscreen, offline-capable, high throughput check-in station for performing check-in for big events and printing attendees’ badges on-site.

    Upon first startup, stations form a cluster and download an encrypted list of attendees from the Alf.io instance. Data related to an attendee can be decrypted only upon scanning their ticket.
    Thanks to the resilient architecture, stations can operate offline and still guarantee that one ticket cannot be checked in twice on two different stations.

Alf.io doesn't send any usage statistics and/or metrics to us. Because we respect your privacy.
These are the organizers we know about, and we'd love to know where are you using it, so that we can show it on the map below.

Open Source does not mean free of charge, it means freedom.
Although the code and the binaries might be free of charge, and therefore cheap, the time of the contributors is not.
There are some companies which are investing in alf.io, even if just for one feature, and we would like to thank them for helping the project.
