canberra.events

Canberra has heaps going on: markets, trivia nights, gigs, free community events. But finding them is a mess. Information is scattered across a dozen Facebook groups, hand-stapled posters, council pages and ticketing platforms that each have their own login and layout.

For small organisers it is even worse. The big ticketing platforms charge fees that eat into events run on goodwill and a shoestring. Many just post to Facebook and hope for the best, with no way to know who is actually coming.

canberra.events is a single place to find what is on. Browse by date, category or suburb. Tap an event and RSVP in one tap, no account required for free events. Spots left tick down in real time so you know whether it is worth rushing.

Organisers post once and their event shows up across the app. They can hand out free tickets, set capacity limits and see at a glance who is coming.

One-tap RSVP generates a PDF ticket instantly and an add-to-calendar link. No sign-up, no app store.

The app sends an email and push reminder 24 hours before the event and again one hour out. Industry research suggests adding an event to your calendar lifts actual attendance by around 30%, so the add-to-calendar prompt is right there on the ticket.

If you can no longer go, cancelling takes one tap and the spot opens back up.

canberra.events is built community-first. Organisers pay low fees or nothing for free events, and they get a proper set of tools: capacity management, reminders and a real attendee list.

It is an edge-deployed installable PWA, which means it loads fast from anywhere in Canberra and installs on your phone like a native app without touching the app store.

All the what is on info for Canberra, in one place, with tickets that actually get people through the door.
