What is Odoo Events?
Events handles event pages, paid or free ticket types, attendee registration, badge printing and barcode check-in. Ticket sales flow through eCommerce and into the ledger like any other order.
Key capabilities
- Event website pages with multiple ticket types
- Paid ticketing through the integrated online store
- Barcode check-in and badge printing on the door
- Multi-track agendas and speaker management
For UAE businesses
Dubai and Abu Dhabi run a heavy events calendar; handling registration, payment and check-in in the same system that issues the invoices removes a common post-event reconciliation headache.
Pros and cons
Strengths
- Event website pages with multiple ticket types
- Paid ticketing through the integrated online store
- Barcode check-in and badge printing on the door
- Multi-track agendas and speaker management
Trade-offs
- No permanent free tier for this app — it sits inside the paid all-apps plan
- Delivers most of its value when the surrounding Odoo apps are in use too, not standalone
- Odoo releases a new major version each year, and customisations need re-testing at each upgrade
- Self-hosting the Community edition means you carry the hosting, backup and upgrade work yourself
How businesses use it
- A UAE business uses Odoo Events to registration, ticketing and check-in for real or online events
- Odoo Events suits teams that match: organisers running conferences, workshops or recurring training
- Companies already running Odoo add Odoo Events so it shares one database with everything else they use

Pricing & integrations
Odoo Events pricing: Included in the all-apps plan; also in Community edition. It is also present in the free open-source Community edition, which you can self-host at no licence cost if you have the technical capacity to run it. Odoo's all-apps pricing is per user regardless of how many apps you switch on, so adding more modules does not increase the per-seat cost. Prices change and vary by country — check current figures via the link on this page rather than relying on any figure quoted elsewhere.

Our verdict
Odoo Events is worth looking at if you match its sweet spot — organisers running conferences, workshops or recurring training. Its main advantage is that it runs on the same database as the rest of Odoo, so the data it produces is immediately usable everywhere else rather than needing an integration. The honest caveat with Odoo generally is that the subscription is rarely the largest cost: configuration and implementation usually are, and that is worth budgeting for before you commit. The free trial is the sensible way to test it against your own process before deciding.

Frequently asked questions
Is Odoo Events free?
Odoo Events is not part of the free tier — it sits inside Odoo's paid all-apps plan. A free trial is available so you can evaluate it before paying.
Can I self-host Odoo Events?
Yes. This app is included in Odoo's free open-source Community edition, which you can host on your own infrastructure at no licence cost. You take on the hosting, security, backup and upgrade work in exchange.
What does Odoo Events actually cost to implement in the UAE?
The subscription is usually the smaller number. Most UAE businesses spend more on configuration, data migration and training than on licences in the first year, and complex modules like Manufacturing or Inventory need that investment to work properly. Get a written scope from an implementation partner before budgeting.
Do I need an Odoo partner, or can I set it up myself?
Simpler apps — Invoicing, CRM, Project, Employees — are realistically self-configurable by a capable team. Accounting, Inventory and Manufacturing are where most companies bring in a partner, because a wrong configuration produces confident but wrong output. There are many Odoo partners in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
How does Odoo Events fit a UAE business specifically?
Dubai and Abu Dhabi run a heavy events calendar; handling registration, payment and check-in in the same system that issues the invoices removes a common post-event reconciliation headache.
What happens when Odoo releases a new version?
Odoo ships a major version roughly once a year. On Odoo Online, upgrades are managed for you. If you have customisations, each one needs re-testing against the new version — which is the main practical argument for customising only where your process genuinely differs.
