Event guide: Create a recurring event with repeating dates and times

Create an event that repeats on multiple dates or time slots, allowing buyers to choose from a calendar date picker.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

A recurring event is perfect for events running on multiple days and where the content for each session is the same. A buyer will first choose which date they would like to attend and then select their desired tickets.

Create a recurring event by adding in all of your occurrences (dates and times) that all of your ticket-type options will apply to.

Examples of recurring events include:

  • A musical showing the same performance across 3 nights

  • A business workshop that runs once a month and is the same course each time

  • An exhibit with timed entries, running every day


Things to note about recurring events

All ticket types, prices, and capacities will apply to all occurrences.
Do not create a ticket type that is specific to an occurrence

For example, if you create a recurring event with 3 occurrences (1st March, 2nd March, 3rd March) and then a ticket type called "Workshop - 3rd March", this ticket type will appear for all 3 March occurrences.

Recurring events are best for events that repeat on multiple days or timeslots where a buyer ideally selects a single occurrence they wish to attend and their entry ticket.

We do not recommend using recurring events for:

  • Multi-day events where the location, content, price, ticket types, or capacity changes for each occurrence

  • Events where buyers can purchase multiple event dates in a single order

In these cases we recommend creating a single long-running event date with different ticket types


How to add recurring event dates to a single event

An event with multiple event dates is referred to as a recurring event. Recurring event dates can be added one-at-a-time, or as repeating occurrences.

  1. Manage your event

  2. Navigate to the event information tab of your event

  3. Select recurring event in the date & time section

  4. Click add occurrences

3. Using the pop-up calendar, click on a date to start adding your next occurrence, or, click + add dates in the top right.You'll need to include:

  • The start and end times of the occurrence

  • If this time slot will occur on other days

For example: Your event occurs every Mon - Fri 7pm till 10pm for 2 weeks. Therefore this occurrence will repeat on Mon - Fri 7pm-10pm for 10 occurrences


How to delete individual dates and occurrences in a recurring event

  1. Head to the event information page of your event

  2. Under date & time click on the edit ✏️ icon next to your date(s)

  3. Using the pop-up calendar, click on a date you wish to delete

  4. Select delete 🗑️ in the top right

  5. You can delete just one occurrence, or, all occurrences of the same time slot

  6. Press delete to confirm

Dates cannot be deleted if tickets have been sold at any point.

Tickets may still be cancelled.

This includes any tickets that are currently "pending". Pending tickets are any tickets that have been "added to cart". You will need to wait for the checkout timer to expire and these tickets to be restocked.

You can disable an event date if this date is no longer valid, on sale, or cancelled. See below.


How to stop sales or hide an individual event date in a recurring event

You can stop sales for an individual event date by disabling the event date. Disabling will remove the date from the event page and cannot make further purchases.

Existing buyer and attendee data will not be lost.

  1. Navigate to the event information

  2. Under date & time click on the edit ✏️ icon next to your date(s)

  3. Using the pop-up calendar, click on a date you wish to disable

  4. Toggle ON disable > click save
