Still running your festival on spreadsheets and group chats?

In 2027 there’s a better way: schedule, staff and entry in one place, and a free app for your audience.

Example: in Studio, Delta Rosa moves from 21:00 to 21:30 and the audience’s phones get a notification.

Right now your festival lives in six places.

The attendee spreadsheet, the schedule PDF, the staff chat, the emails about times, the printed list at the gate, the sticky notes. Every time change gets rewritten everywhere, and someone always misses it.

With iFestival it lives in one.

Attendees, schedule, staff and entry sit in the same Studio. The audience app and the staff scanner read from it, so everyone sees every change.

Before, during and after the festival.

The features in the order you’ll need them.

Before the festival

Your festival starts on iFestival.

Create the festival with its name, dates and venues. Everything else, from the schedule to the audience app, you set up from here.

Tickets and extras, sold on iFestival.

Sell tickets, passes and extras directly on iFestival. If you already sell elsewhere, you import your attendees.

Schedule and map in the app.

Every event has its stage, artist and time. Your audience finds the schedule and the map on their phone.

Events and tasks in one calendar.

Concerts and staff work sit in the same week, so you see straight away what overlaps.

During the festival

QR check-in, even with no signal.

Staff scan tickets with their phone. The list is stored on the device, so check-in works offline and syncs when the signal comes back.

Reach your audience in seconds.

If a concert moves, write the message and it arrives as a notification for everyone following the festival.

Everyone knows what to do.

Assign tasks to your staff and link them to an event or a place. Whoever coordinates sees what is still open.

Experiences and products beyond the ticket.

Workshops, tours, tastings and merch are sold on iFestival, with limited seats and check-in at the door.

After the festival

The photos stay in the app.

Upload the edition’s photos and your audience finds them in the app, day by day.

You know who actually came in.

Every scan is recorded, at the gates and at activities. Besides tickets sold, you see how many people came in.

Sell tickets and extras where you already run your festival.

You sell tickets, workshops and merch directly from iFestival, where you already run the festival.

  • Buyers are on the list straight away. No CSV to import, nothing to sync. That’s one less platform to pay for and keep aligned.
  • The ticket lands in the app. As soon as the payment goes through, the QR is in the buyer’s app, ready for the gate.
  • Keep selling once the festival starts. People who are already there buy a workshop, a tasting or a T-shirt from their phone. Today that money often stays in their pocket.
  • The money goes to your account. Payments go through a certified payment provider and land in the festival’s own account. You see sales and entries in the same Studio.
  • Attendee data stays yours. Buyers’ names and emails arrive in your Studio and stay there, without passing through an outside ticketing platform.

Create your festival’s tickets right in Studio.

  • Every kind of ticket.Full pass, day ticket, reduced or under-18, VIP, free entry. For each one you set the price, how many are available and when they’re on sale.
  • Price tiers that switch by themselves.Early bird, standard, last minute. When a tier sells out or the date you picked arrives, the price moves to the next one.
  • Discount and promo codes.Percentage or fixed amount, with a usage limit and an expiry date. You can make codes just for partners, sponsors and press.
  • Capacity you control.Set a limit for each ticket type and each extra activity. When it’s full, sales close on their own and it shows “Sold out”.
  • Bundles.A ticket plus a workshop, a tasting or a T-shirt, bought together in one payment.
  • Extras and merch in the same cart.People add them to the ticket in the same purchase, and they stay on sale in the app for the whole festival.
  • Refunds and changes.From Studio you refund an order or change the day or the name on a ticket.
  • Sales next to check-ins.Every sale shows up in the report straight away, with revenue and the people already inside.

We’re looking for the first festivals to try it.

I want to try it first

At the gate, staff see at a glance who can come in: green, yellow or red.

Staff point at the QR and see at once whether the person can enter. Several phones work together: a ticket used at the North Gate shows as used at the Square too.

Your audience gets a free app.

People coming to your festival download iFestival, link their ticket with the purchase email and find your festival. You don’t build anything: you publish from Studio.

  • Schedule and time changes
  • Map of stages and services
  • QR ticket, nothing to print
  • Notifications and gallery

The app is available in Italian, English, German, Spanish, French and Portuguese.

You decide who does what.

Create the roles your festival needs, pick each one’s permissions and invite staff by email. Everyone sees only what they need.

  • Permissions one by one. Whoever scans at the gate can’t touch the schedule.
  • Email invites. Type the address, pick the role, and they’re in from the invite.
  • Nobody can give themselves more permissions. Not even role managers can change their own. The server checks every request.

Signing in to Studio takes no password.

Use a passkey, Google, or a code sent by email. Two-step verification is mandatory for everyone, so attendee data stays protected even if someone gets into your email.

  • Passkeys: Face ID, Touch ID or your device PIN.
  • Always two steps: passkey or authenticator app.
  • Each festival is kept separate from the others.
  • The server checks permissions.

The first festival using it is Good Time Blues, in Guglionesi.

Blues and roots, every July in Molise. Many features on this page came out of working with them.

Frequently asked questions

Everything else is in the guide.

How much does it cost?

There are four yearly plans per festival, plus a commission on sales made through iFestival. Prices and plans are in the Pricing section, excluding VAT.

I sell tickets on Eventzilla or Luma. Do I have to switch?

No. Connect it to Studio and attendees sync, or upload a CSV. Or sell directly from iFestival.

Does my audience pay for the app?

No, the iFestival app is free on iOS and Android. Ticket holders link their ticket with the purchase email.

Does the scanner work with no signal at the gate?

Yes. Staff open scanner mode while online and the list stays on the phone. Offline check-ins sync as soon as the network is back.

How far along is iFestival?

Good Time Blues already uses it, and new festivals help us decide what to build next.

How do I sign in without a password?

With a passkey, Google, or a 6-digit code by email. Then you confirm with the second step, which is mandatory. The guide shows how to add a backup method.
