Set your event dates to suit your event structure

Does your event run every day or every week? Is it a one-time course? Or is it a series of events that buyers can choose to attend? Using a flexible combination of event dates and ticket types, you can put together the right set up.

Recurring events dates for events that repeat

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 then select their desired tickets.

For example: A musical showing the same performance across 3 nights

  1. Under the date and time heading on your event

  2. Click recurring date

  3. Use the date picker to + add your individual dates and/or select the frequency a session may repeat

  4. Create a generic general admission ticket type(s) that will apply to all dates

Multi-day events or series with different sessions

This setup suits event series where the details may differ for each 'session'or you'd like to offer attendees the opportunity to buy more than one session at a time in a single order. You can achieve this with a long-running event date and multiple ticket types for each day.

For example: A week-long garden show, with cheaper tickets on Thursday or a 5-day drama workshop (with a discount for attending 3 or more sessions)

  1. Under the date and time heading on your event

  2. Click single date

  3. Set a long-running date spanning the first and last session

    1. e.g. 1st July 9am - 5th July 11am

  4. Create separate ticket types for each workshop/session

    1. e.g. “Yoga basics - Monday 1st 9am”, “Yoga essentials - Tuesday 2nd 10am”

  5. Use a time & date override to set each ticket type up with the correct info for each session.

Multi-day or multi-week courses, programs and workshops

These events are programs, courses, or workshops that run over multiple sessions, days, or weeks. Your attendees only need to register one ticket to access all sessions.

You can use a long-running, single event date and ticket type, customising the buyer journey to communicate the events dates and information.
