Our story
Started from the need for better event tools.
OnlyFriends was created after seeing how difficult it can be for local organizers to run events using disconnected tools. The goal is simple: make event creation, ticketing, and guest management easier for the people doing the work behind the scenes.
The platform is growing from live ticketing into a broader organizer toolkit, with support for creators, vendors, partnerships, and community experiences.
More than ticketing.
The long-term goal is to support organizers beyond the event page.
