EventQ
Event Ticketing & Check-in Platform
Hey IH 👋
I just started building EventQ this month as a side project, and wanted to introduce it early.
The problem: small event organizers — meetups, workshops, conferences — end up cobbling together a form builder, ad-hoc payment collection, a design tool for tickets, and a manual system for checking people in at the door. It works, barely, until you have more than a handful of attendees.
What EventQ does:
- Create an event and get a public registration page automatically — no separate site or form builder needed
- Flexible fee tiers (standard, session-based, per-dependent pricing)
- Attendees pay the organizer directly, using whatever method the organizer accepts — PayPal, Wise, bank transfer, etc. — then upload proof of payment
- Organizer reviews and approves registrations from a dashboard
- Design your own ticket with a built-in ticket builder (colors, layout, QR placement, fields)
- Approved attendees get a PDF ticket with embedded QR code, emailed automatically
- Unlimited QR check-in checkpoints — scan attendees in from any browser, no app install
- Analytics dashboard: registrations, revenue, check-in heatmap per checkpoint
- Export reports for offline record-keeping
EventQ never touches the money — organizers get paid directly through their own preferred method. We just charge a small flat fee per approved ticket (first event free, up to 30 tickets).
I'm building this solo, side-project mode, for international organizers — no customers yet, so I'm here mostly for early feedback from people who've actually run paid events and felt this pain.
If you've organized a paid event before: how did you handle registration pages, ticket design, and check-in before? What actually worked, or didn't?

What stood out to me is that you're reducing operational complexity rather than adding more ticketing features.
For smaller organizers, the biggest pain often isn't selling tickets—it's stitching together five different tools just to run a single event. Solving that workflow is a much clearer value proposition than competing feature-for-feature with larger platforms.
Thanks! That's exactly the problem I kept seeing.
Most small organizers don't need enterprise-level ticketing—they need fewer moving parts. My goal is to replace the "Google Form + payment screenshots + spreadsheet + Canva + QR scanner" workflow with one simple tool.
I'm glad it resonated.
Your reply left me thinking about one assumption behind that "fewer moving parts" approach. I'd want to understand how you're thinking about it before sharing my perspective.
