Muslim Eventz
A multi-vendor ticketing marketplace for the Muslim community — organizers sell tickets, attendees discover events near them or online.
The challenge
Events made by and for the Muslim community were scattered across social networks and the wider web, with no single trustworthy place to find them or buy tickets. Fayyazuddin Syed wanted to change that — to unite those events under one roof where the community could discover what's happening and organizers could sell tickets with confidence. After setbacks with earlier development efforts, he needed the platform rebuilt from scratch on a solid, scalable core, not a fragile off-the-shelf ticketing tool.
What we built
We built the platform on our own multi-vendor marketplace for Sylius — open-source commerce on top of Symfony — and adapted it from selling products to selling event tickets. That gave the project a battle-tested multi-vendor core from day one: each organizer runs their own storefront, attendees find events by geolocation straight from the homepage, and the whole thing scales as the community grows.
Multi-vendor ticketing on our Marketplace Plugin
We adapted our Sylius Marketplace Plugin from product sales to ticket sales, so every organizer runs their own events and storefront under one platform — far less effort than building a ticketing engine from scratch.
Geolocation-based event discovery
From the homepage, attendees share their location to surface events nearby — at a specific venue or online — or open an interactive map to explore visually. Built with SyliusGeoPlugin.
Faceted search with Elasticsearch
Elasticsearch powers fast search and filtering across every event, so people reach what matters to them without wading through everything else.
Two-factor authentication (2FA)
Organizers and admins secure their accounts with a second factor, delivered by email or SMS.
Timed ticket reservation
During checkout a ticket is held for the user for a limited time, preventing double-sales while they complete the purchase.
Organizer dashboard
Vendors create and manage their own events and tickets and track sales, statistics, and payment balances from a single panel — including recurring events on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule.
Self-serve banner management
Homepage banners are uploaded and edited from the same admin using our BannerPlugin — no developer needed to run a promotion.

Muslim Eventz launched as a single home for community events: organizers sell tickets under their own brand, attendees discover what's happening near them or online, and the marketplace core is ready to scale as more organizers join.
Their quality has been superb, and their price is quite reasonable compared to the competition.
