## What it is
pretix is an open-source ticket sales and event management application built with Python and Django, providing a customizable online ticket shop, payment handling, check-in, and box office tools. It is used by thousands of events and can be self-hosted or used via the vendor's hosted offerings.

## Use cases
- sell tickets online for a conference
- set up a self-hosted ticketing shop for a festival
- manage event check-in and badge scanning
- run a box office point of sale at an event
- handle payments and quotas for ticket presales
- create a multilingual ticket shop for a museum or exhibition
- track ticket sales and generate event reports

## When to choose
- you need a full-featured, self-hosted ticketing system you control
- you run conferences, festivals, concerts, or workshops and need shop, payment, and check-in in one tool
- you want GDPR-compliant, accessible ticketing software
- you need flexible product structures, quotas, and multiple payment providers
- you want to extend ticketing via a plugin system

## When to avoid
- you only need a simple payment link or donation button rather than full ticketing
- you want a zero-maintenance SaaS without running your own server (though hosted pretix exists)
- you plan to offer pretix itself as a ticketing service to third parties, which the AGPL additional terms restrict
- your event needs are trivial and a lightweight form-based registration would suffice
