Duplicating an event

Duplicating an event quickly creates a draft copy of all settings, letting you update dates and details for recurring shows.

If you run recurring events (weekly shows at a music venue, monthly performances at a theater, annual conferences, seasonal galas), duplicating an event saves you from rebuilding the same template every time. Clone an existing event with all its settings in seconds, then update just the date and a few details.

How to duplicate an event

  1. From your Organizer dashboard, navigate to Events in the sidebar

  2. Find the event you want to duplicate

  3. Click the three-dot menu on the event card, or open the event details page

  4. Click Duplicate event

  5. The new event opens in draft mode with all settings copied. Update the date, title (if needed), and any other details

  6. Save and publish when you're ready

The original event is unchanged. The new event is independent. Edits to the duplicate don't affect the original.

Tip: Duplicated events end up in draft status, not auto-published. This gives you a chance to review settings, update the date, and adjust any details before attendees see anything.

What gets copied

Almost everything from the original event carries over to the duplicate:

  • Event title and description

  • Cover image and branding

  • Date and time (which you'll change for the new event)

  • Venue / location

  • Ticket types and pricing

  • Custom checkout configuration

  • Seat map assignment (if applicable)

  • Comped ticket allocation structure (the setup, not the already-issued comped tickets)

  • Custom fields and questions

  • Email templates for confirmations

What doesn't get copied

These stay with the original event only:

  • Tickets already sold

  • Attendee list

  • Order history

  • Revenue and reporting data

  • Already-issued comped tickets

The new event starts fresh with zero sales and an empty attendee list.

Tips for recurring shows

Make your "base" event template-friendly

If you know an event will become a recurring series, set up the first one with that in mind. Use generic language in descriptions where dates would appear ("Wednesday Night Jazz" rather than "Wednesday Night Jazz, July 10"), and use placeholder cover images that work across multiple dates.

Duplicate in batches for known runs

If you have an entire season or month of shows planned, you can duplicate once for each, then update each one's date. Faster than building each from scratch.

Use Calendar view to verify your duplicates

After creating multiple duplicates for a series, switch to Calendar view to confirm all dates land where you expect.

Common questions

Can I duplicate an event that has tickets sold?

Yes. Duplicating doesn't affect the original. The duplicate is a fresh event with zero sales, ready for its own ticket buyers.

Can I duplicate an event from a past series to use as a template for next year?

Yes. Duplication works on any event regardless of date. Useful for annual events: duplicate last year's, update the date, refresh the cover image, and you're 90% done.

Can I bulk-duplicate (e.g., create 10 events at once)?

Bulk duplication is being evaluated. For now, duplicate one at a time. Each takes under a minute once you have the workflow down.

Does duplicating share the seat map between the original and the new event?

Yes. The seat map is a shared resource. Both events use the same map. If you need an independent map for the new event, duplicate the seat map separately first, then assign the duplicate to your new event.
