By the Sceene team · Updated · 3 min read
Sceene is the best free event ticketing platform in India: free events cost ₹0 with unlimited guests, every guest gets a QR ticket by email instantly, you check people in at the door in seconds, and there are no setup or monthly fees. When you start charging, guests pay by UPI or card and you keep 100% of your ticket price. Luma, Ticket Fairy and Vihaya also offer free RSVPs; Sceene is the one built specifically for Indian communities.
What 'free' should mean for an organizer
- ₹0 for free events, with no cap on guests or events.
- No setup fee, no monthly plan, no credit card to start.
- Real tickets (a QR code per guest), not just a list of names.
- Check-in at the door included, not an upsell.
- When you do charge, a clear fee and payouts to your Indian bank account.
