Create an event
Add an event with its details, location and policies.
- Step 1: Go to Events and select Create event.
- Step 2: Fill in the details:
- Event name and an optional Web address (slug) — leave it blank to generate one from the name.
- Category, a Short summary (shown in listings) and a Description. Basic formatting is allowed.
- Event image — upload one (16:9, at least 1600×900 for sharp results) and add a description for people using screen readers.
- Location — in person, online or hybrid, with a venue. Online access details are only shown to ticket holders.
- Event time zone and a Buyer support email for this event.
- Visibility — public, unlisted (anyone with the link), password protected, or private (manual bookings only).
- Seating — general admission, or reserved seating with a published seating plan.
- Accessibility information, Age or eligibility restriction and Refund policy — all shown to buyers before they pay.
- Whether buyers can transfer tickets, change attendee names, and whether to offer a waiting list when a date sells out.
- Step 3: Save. Your event is a draft — nothing is public until you publish.
Next, add dates and ticket types.
