Input your event name and a description of what your event is about. The description field is able to accept text, graphics, videos and links. Here's your opportunity to make your event stand out!.

3. Upload Event Image
Upload your main event flyer. This will be the first image that viewers see before they click on your event. It is also used as the thumbnail image preview when you share the link on media platforms. This can be your event flyer or a related graphic. Make it appealing. Less texts gives better first impressions. You may also upload additional images to create a gallery.
4. Input Event Dates
Input your event start and end time. For multi day events or recurring events you may add the dates for those at the end of the form.
Choose whether or not you'd like to enable sales for that event date. For example if it is a three (3) day event, you may choose to only sell tickets for day. You may add as many event date as possible. This feature is useful for multi-day events or recurring events.
5. Choose Event Venue
Select whether your event will be held online. By default events are held at a physical venue. Choose your event venue from the drop down menu. If your event venue is not listed in the public directory you may add your own by clicking on the "Venues" tab from your dashboard.
6. Scanners & Points of Sale
Scanners are authorized devices used at the gate to admit attendees to your event. The scanner app can be downloaded on Android and iOS devices. We recommend adding scanners closer to your event date.
Point of Sale or Brand Ambassadors are persons or businesses authorized to sell tickets on your behalf. You may add point of sales after submitting your event.
7. Create Event Tickets
Create an event ticket by inputting a ticket name and description. Specify if the ticket or admission is free. If the ticket is free the attendee only needs to input their name in order to get their digital tickets. If there is a charge for the tickets, specify the price and promotional price (optional). A promotional price is a marketing strategy used to indicate a promotion.
Select the quantity of tickets to be sold and whether or not there is a limit to the number of tickets that each attendee can purchase. Limiting tickets is advised especially for discounted, promotional or early bird tickets. Finally choose whether or not you would like to enable sales for that ticket. For example if you have three (3) ticket types ( Early Bird, General, VIP) you may choose to enable sales for early bird tickets only then manually enabling ticket sales for the remaining tickets. Optionally you may enable ticket sales then choose a date when you would like to start selling tickets. Tickets would go on sale automatically.
