Creating an event
With our 3-step process, it's super quick and easy to get your events created, posted and tickets selling!
Creating an event:
- Click the 'Create' tab in the top toolbar of the dashboard, this will take you to the event creation page
- Basics. Enter the following information:
- Event name
- Event description
- The venue
- Which category of event
- The time zone of your event
- The date and time of your event (or add multiple time slots if your event runs on different days too - you can add multiple time slots in bulk)
- Which currency you'll be selling tickets in
- Tickets. Set the following information:
- Your ticket types (as many as you need)
- How you want the booking fees to be covered (whether you are absorbing it or passing it on to your customers)
- A maximum amount of tickets,
- Whether you'll allow customers to pay by invoice
- Whether to include tax on your ticket prices
You can also name your ticket types - you'll need to enter a quantity for each ticket type and a price then the booking fee per ticket will appear.
- Click the 'edit' button on a ticket to:
- Set 'on sale' from/until dates and times
- Restrict the amount that can be bought in a single transaction
- Add additional options (such as required information or merchandise for sale and the status of the ticket)
- Extras. The extras for your event page are:
- Event images (maximum of 3)
- Terms and conditions for your event
- Privacy policy
- Refund policy
- When you're happy with what you have, choose:
- 'Post privately' if you want to make sure only those you invite can access the event
- 'Post live' to make your event public
- 'Save as a draft' to make changes before going live
Please note: if you're a new organiser, your event may enter into an "under review" state - this is for added security for all users on Helm Tickets to combat fraudulent events being posted. More information on this can be found in the account moderation article.
