• Set up your event details
• Create tickets
• Additional settings and publishing your event

Basic info

1. Click "Create Event".

Log in to your Eventbrite account and select "Create Event".

2. Enter the details under "Basic info".

• Event Title — Give your event a short, distinct name up to 75 characters long.

• Type — Choose a type that describes your event, like a class or a party. For public events, this helps attendees find your event.

• Category — Choose a category that matches your event, like fashion or food. For public events, this helps attendees find your event.

• Sub-category — Choose a sub-category that further describes your event. This option is only available for U.S. events at this time.

• Tags — Use keywords that you think your attendees will search for when looking for your event. Event tags that appear on your event listing are based on your event location, type, category, and sub-category.

• Organizer — Select one of your organizers. To add or update an organizer, you need to update the specific Organizer Profile.

3. Choose a location.

An event can only have one location entered in the “Location” field. If your event has multiple locations within the same city, just enter the city and specify the different locations in your description and your ticket types. If your event takes place in multiple cities, you should create a separate event page for each location instead.

• Venue — Use the search bar below "Venue" to search for a venue, address, or city.

• Online event — Use for events that happen online only.

• To be announced — If you're not sure about your location yet, choose this setting.

4. Select a date and time.

Choose “Single event”. Then enter the first date of your event under "Event starts" and the last date of your event under "Event ends". You’ll create separate tickets later to represent each date your event occurs. If you need to set up an event with the same location and same offerings for each date, go to this article instead.

Then hide the event start and end times by unchecking the boxes next to those options. This way, your event shows the timeframe of when the event is taking place. The individual dates will show on tickets instead.

5. Click "Save & Continue".

Set up your event details

1. Add a main event image.

• Images with at least 2160 x 1080px (a 2:1 ratio) work best.

• To crop your image, select a section of the image and click “Save”. You can make changes later by hovering over the image and clicking the “crop” icon.

• To delete your main event image, hover over the image and click the “trash bin” icon when it appears.

• Make sure to check the copyright licenses on the images you use.

2. Write a description.

• Summary — Write a summary up to 140 characters that describes the most important details of your event. This lets people know why they should attend. The summary appears next to your event title on Google, Eventbrite, and partner sites when the event is public.

• Description — Give more details about the information you included in your summary. This helps attendees get a sense of what they’ll experience at your event. If your event offering is different for each day, be sure to include information that tells your attendees what to expect on the day they select. It also helps to list each location and date here.

3. Add text, images, and video.

• Add Text — Add a section with frequently asked questions.

• Add Image — Add an image to your event description. If you have more than one image to add, you can do that here. Just make sure the format is JPEG, PNG, or GIF and the file isn't larger than 10MB.

• Add Video — Add a section that shows a YouTube or Vimeo video. Make sure to check the copyright licenses on the videos you use. Use the up-down arrows to move the sections around. To delete a section, select one and click on the trash can icon.

Create tickets

1. Go to “Tickets” and click “Add ticket”.

2. Enter your ticket information.

Set up a ticket for each date or time slot your event occurs. Be sure to specify the date in the ticket title. For example, if you have a two-day event, your first ticket may be titled “General Admission - Friday” and your second ticket may be titled “General Admission - Saturday”. If you want to sell a single ticket for all days, you can set up a ticket titled "General Admission - Friday and Saturday". Just be sure to adjust your ticket capacity to match the number of tickets you have available across all days.

• Free — Tickets do not cost anything.

• Paid — You need to set a ticket price.

• Donation — Attendees can pay a custom amount. Your account needs to be in the Professional or Premium package in order to set up multiple ticket types.

3. Save and continue.

Additional settings and publishing your event

1. Set up your payments.

Review the following under “Payments”:

• Payment Options — Select your country and currency, and choose your payment processor.

• Payout Method — Tell Eventbrite where to send your payout.

• Refund Policy — Set a refund policy for your event. Your refund policy can’t be changed after your event is live.

• Tax — Set up sales tax if you are in a region that requires it.

2. Set up the order options for attendees.

Review the following under “Order Options”:

• Order form — Choose which information you’d like to collect from your attendees. The default fields will be collected for the ticket types checked at the top of the order form. If you need to ask custom questions for certain ticket types, you can choose those tickets in your custom question settings.

• Order confirmation — Create a custom message for your event’s order confirmation page and email.

3. Set your event privacy.

Select "Publish Event" (at the top of the page) and choose to make your event public or private. If your event is private, choose the audience you want to share it with: 

• Anyone with the link — Anyone with the event URL (link) can access the event.

• Only people with an Eventbrite invitation — Use Email Invitations on Eventbrite to invite specific guests to register. This option doesn’t work with invitations sent outside of Eventbrite, or with third-party tools like Mailchimp.

• Only people with the password — Set up a password for attendees to access the event.

If you publish your event as a private event, you'll be given the option when you publish to schedule a date for it to be made public. You can choose to:

• Keep the event private: Select this option if you don't want to make your event public at any time.

• Schedule a date and time for the event to be made public: Select this option if you want your event to be public in the future.

Privacy settings can be changed at any time. Private events will not appear in the Eventbrite public events directory, major search engines, or partner sites. However, making your event "Private" after publishing as "Public" won't remove it from any third-party search results (like Google) if it’s already picked up by their system.

4. Publish your event.

When you’re ready to go live, select Publish and choose whether to Publish Now or Schedule Publish. If your event has more than 25 tickets and you're not subscribed to Eventbrite Pro, there will be an Organizer Fee when you publish the event. To pay this fee:

• Select Next.

• Choose your preferred plan.

• Enter your payment details.

• Select Pay and publish. 

NOTE: You can still make changes to an event after you publish. However, some items, like changing to a more restrictive refund policy, can't be done after the event is live.
