Organizing an event

Set up a recurring event

Set up an event with a recurring schedule if you have an event that is identical and repeats over a number of days or time slots, like a class or a tour. With this setup, attendees choose a date and time first, and then choose which tickets they want for the date they selected. This feature is currently not available for Eventbrite Music or events using reserved seating. If your event has one total price to attend all dates or times, set up a single event with multiple dates or times instead.

Create your tickets

1. Go to Add tickets.

Create a new ticket type or copy tickets from another event.

2. Enter your ticket information.

Choose your ticket type and enter your ticket information. By default, any ticket types you create are available for each instance of your event. For example, if you make a "general admission" ticket type, each instance of your event will have that ticket type available. Instances don't share inventory, so tickets sold in one instance won't affect the remaining tickets in another instance.

NOTE: An Eventbrite Pro subscription is required to publish recurring events with more than 25 tickets per instance.

3. Save your changes.

4. Optional: Add tickets and add-ons for specific instances.

If you want to create tickets that are only available for specific instances:

Go to Select an instance and choose an instance.
Go to Add ticket.
Select Add more tickets.

Changes you make for a specific instance only apply to that instance. Adding tickets and add-ons, deleting tickets and add-ons, and changing capacity won't affect the other instances of your event.
