Ready to get your first event up and running on Eventrise? We've made it simple and straightforward. This guide walks through the three main steps you'll take, from creating your event to publishing it live.
How it works
Getting your event live on Eventrise happens in three steps:
1. Create your event. Set up your event details, including title, description, dates, and locations
2. Create your tickets. Add ticket types, set pricing, and configure availability
3. Publish your event. Review everything and make it live for attendees to discover
Let's walk through each step.
Step 1. Create your event
Your event is the foundation. This is where you'll add all the essential details that attendees need to know, like what your event is about, when and where it's happening, and what makes it special. On the Events page, click Create Event and give your event a name. That creates a draft, and you add everything else from Event Details.
What you'll set up
Event overview. Your event title, tag line, description, and cover image
Date and time. Start and end date and time, and your time zone
Locations. Search for your address or add your own details. Eventrise calls this a venue, but it's wherever your event happens, whether that's a club, a studio, a park, or a conference center. You need one before you can publish
Before you start
Have your event details ready. This includes your title, a description that captures what your event is about, dates and times, and location information.
Step 2. Create your tickets
Once your event details are in place, it's time to set up how attendees will register. You can create multiple ticket types with different pricing, availability windows, and access levels.
What you'll set up
Ticket types. General admission, VIP, early bird, or any other categories you need. Add-ons are optional extras that go with an order, and every event needs at least one regular ticket
Pricing. One flat price, prices that step up by quantity or by date, name your own price, or free
Availability. A quantity limit (leave it blank for unlimited) and a sales window for when sales start and end
Special options. Hide a ticket so it's only available with a promo code or direct link, link it to your agenda, cap how many one order can include, or turn off transfers
Before you start
Know what ticket types you want to offer, how much each will cost, and whether you need any quantity limits or time-based availability windows.
Step 3. Publish your event
You've built your event and set up your tickets. Now it's time to make it official and share it with the world.
What you'll do
Save your changes. Event Details saves one section at a time. Event Overview and Date & Time each have their own Save Changes button, which turns on once you change something
Preview your event. See how it looks to attendees before going live, with Preview Event at the top right
Publish. Click Publish Event at the top right to make your event discoverable
Before you publish
Make sure you've completed all the essentials, which means your event has details, a cover image and a venue (wherever your event takes place), at least one ticket is set up, you've added a refund policy, your organizer profile is complete, and you've confirmed your email address. Publish Event stays greyed out until all seven are done. Your event's Your action items menu (at the top of Overview and Event Details) shows exactly what's left.
What happens after you publish?
Once your event is live, this is what to expect.
Your event page goes live with a custom URL
Attendees can view details and purchase tickets
You can keep editing a live event, so save as you go. Need to pause ticket sales? Use Close event. Unpublish takes your page down too, but it's only available before your first order
Orders start coming in and you can track them in your dashboard
