Release 2024.3.0 of pretix

Today, we are releasing pretix 2024.3.0, the third release of 2024. This is mostly a maintenance release with a number of useful changes throughout the system. Big thanks go out to Dean Wyns, Felix Schäfer, fyksen, and Martin Weinelt who contributed to this release. ❤️

pretix 2024.3.0 is now available for installation via pip. The new Docker images will appear on Docker Hub over the next few hours. All customers of pretix Hosted are already using the new version and do not need to take any action.

Memberships for more use cases

Memberships allow you to restrict purchase of products or variations to specific groups of customers, e.g. members of a club or purchasers of a membership package. One feature of memberships is to reject "parallel usage", i.e. that you are not able to buy two tickets for events happening at the same time using the same membership.

Starting from this version, this is now also usable for use cases where the event date is not relevant, but the validity of the ticket itself is, for example when buying a monthly or yearly pass with a custom time frame.
