Chobble Tickets - a ticket sales platform, hosted on Bunny CDN's edge scripts (tickets.chobble.com)

Hey up. I am an anarchist and software developer of 20+ years and I really hate predatory ticket sales platforms that add junk fees and take money away from artists and spy on their users, so I built Chobble Tickets which is a fully free and open source (no open core / premium features / corporate licenses) ticket sales app.

It's built on Bunny CDN's "Edge Scripts" (which themselves run on Deno) which gives it cool scaling features out of the box - and it also means the running cost is very low because there's no servers and it scales down to zero

It includes features like:

  • QR code check-ins
  • Encrypted attendee information
  • Stripe & Square payments
  • Public and admin APIs
  • Tiered tickets
  • Custom questions
  • CSV exports
  • Webhook support
  • Custom domains
  • Custom email providers
  • More I'm forgetting

You can get it up and running yourself very quickly, or I'm also offering paid hosting at £50 per year, £25 for artists, musicians, charities and co-operatives. Or some other nerd can host it for you, because it's easy.

(AI warning - I use Claude to help with my coding. This is nowhere near vibe-coded - the code is quite good actually because I have two decades of experience. But if you're super anti-AI, be warned that I used AI when building this)

I use whatever tools are available to me and help liberate those around me. My use of Claude has already helped small businesses keep more of their income from their labour, instead of giving a cut to rentier capitalist platforms like Eventbrite. I'm releasing all my code under copyleft AGPL with no enterprise license. I'm giving 50% discounts to artists, cooperatives, charities and vegan businesses. I give 10% of my profit to charity.

If you want to tell me I'm not sufficiently anarchist because you don't like my choice of tools - whatever, dude, you keep gatekeeping, I'm sure it'll get you far
