Here's how you manage your event after it's been published!

1. Click on your event to manage "Event settings" tab

Click on the event you would like to manage from the dashboard.

TIP: You can also click on the event on the left hand menu

2. Managing the "Details" tab

*Details - you can edit your Event title and description, add photos, hashtags and embed a custom YouTube video - For more instructions on how to embed your YouTube video, click here.

Once you're done making changes, don't forget to click the Save & continue button to save your changes and move to the next step.

 

3. Managing the "Where & When" tab

*Where & when - Edit date(s) and time(s) of your event.

NOTE: once your event is published the time zone setting cannot be changed.

 

4. Managing the "Ticket Types" tab

* Ticket types - create and adjust ticket types, quantity, price and other options.

  • A πŸ‘‰Currency cannot be changed after initial set up

  • B πŸ‘‰ Add a title for your ticket type

  • C πŸ‘‰ Set the available ticket inventory for your ticket type

  • D πŸ‘‰ Set a price for your ticket type

  • E πŸ‘‰ Show additional settings (see below)

  • F πŸ‘‰ Duplicate your ticket type

  • G πŸ‘‰Delete your ticket type

  • H πŸ‘‰ Create an add-on 

 

TIP: Add-ons are similar to ticket types however they will not affect your attendance numbers. For example, create add-ons for products like VIP upgrades, parking passes, and merchandise items. You can also create multiple different variations of a single add-on (for example, different sizes of a T-shirt).

  • I πŸ‘‰ Create a new ticket type

Here are the additional settings you can adjust for each of your ticket types:

  • J πŸ‘‰ If checked, your ticket type description will not be shown publicly, but it will be visible to you
  • K πŸ‘‰ If checked, the number of remaining tickets available for this ticket type will be shown publicly
  • L πŸ‘‰ If checked, ticket holders will be allowed to safely transfer this ticket type to others using PromoTix
  • M πŸ‘‰ If checked, your ticket type will not be shown publicly, but it can still be sold by you

  • P πŸ‘‰ The minimum number of this ticket type that can be purchased at a time

  • Q πŸ‘‰ The maximum number of this ticket type that can be purchased at a time

  • R πŸ‘‰ Upload an image for your ticket type to display during the checkout process (optional)

  • S πŸ‘‰ Add a ticket description to display during the checkout process (optional)

  • U πŸ‘‰ Set the date when this ticket type will go on sale
  • V πŸ‘‰ Set the time when this ticket type will go on sale
