Create an event

Every night you sell tickets or tables for starts as an event. You can build it before payments are connected, but guests can only pay once they are. See Connect payments.

Create the event

1. Go to Events and click the + on the day of the event.
2. Enter an Event title.
3. Click Event image, upload an image under 5 MB, crop it to a square, and click Apply crop.
4. Check the Date, Start and End. The end starts five hours after the start, so a 10:00 PM start ends at 3:00 AM; change it to when your night ends. On the event's Details tab they're Start time and End time. An end earlier than the start is the next morning.
5. Choose a Status. New events start as Draft. See Event statuses.
6. Click Create event.

The event page opens so you can finish setting it up. The location starts as your venue's address.

Finish the event

The event page has seven tabs: Details, Tickets, Guest list, Tables, Add-ons, Promo codes, and Artists. Roles with access to Passes also see Passes. See Create a pass.

1. On Details, add a Description, change the Location if the event is somewhere else, and change anything from the first step. Click the Repeat box to run it on a schedule, and the FAQs box to answer common questions. Turn off the Promoters switch to keep the night off your promoters' calendars; it then reads Hidden from promoters. See Work with promoters.
2. On Tickets, add at least one ticket type. See Set up ticket types.
3. On Guest list, click Take guest list names if promoters or guests can ask to get in free, choose when sign-ups close, and click Save. See Run a guest list.
4. On Tables, turn on table bookings and set prices. See Table rules per event.
5. Add extras on Add-ons, Promo codes, and Artists if you want them. See Sell add-ons, Create promo codes, and Add artists and music.
6. In the Publishing panel, set the status to Published, then click Save. On a phone, the status and Save sit in a bar at the bottom of the screen.

Each tab saves on its own. If you leave a tab, or the event, with changes you haven't saved, you're asked whether to discard them.

Guests see the event once it is Published and has at least one ticket type or table bookings turned on.
