Events

Create Ticketed Event - You are going to be selling tickets and users need to have a ticket to gain entrance to your event.

Create Non-Ticketed Event - Use this method when you have a public event that does not require a ticket to gain entrance.

Event Listing - You can view all your events that you have active, archived, or draft

  • Upcoming Events - These are all the events that are active. The list is in order by date so that you know which events are coming up.

  • Past Events - View all your events that have been completed

Archived Events - If you have an archived event you will still be able to view the tickets and summary but not have the ability to edit, view, or copy the event.

Creating Your Events

To get started selling tickets you first need to create the event… makes sense right? Click the “Create Event” button to go to the Create Event page.

  • You can now create a Non-Ticketed Event! If you have an event that you just want to spread the word about and get people to attend, use this method of creating an event. This will still show on your events list page.

We have made creating an event quick and simple with an organized four-step form. You will see four tabs at the top of the page:
