Best Practices for Writing Event Descriptions

Updated yesterday

A clear and structured event description helps customers understand the value of your event and complete their purchase with confidence. This guide explains how to write an effective description inside Evey Events & Tickets (Evey).


Start With the Experience

Begin your description with a short sentence explaining what the event is and why it matters. Focus on the experience rather than the date or location.

Instead of starting with logistics, describe what attendees will gain or experience. This immediately provides context and sets expectations.

Example:
“A guided tasting featuring five limited releases and behind-the-scenes stories from our production team.”

Keep the opening concise and specific.


Clearly Explain What’s Included

After introducing the event, outline what the ticket includes. Be direct and specific to reduce uncertainty.

You may include details such as:

  • Activities or sessions

  • Food or beverages

  • Materials or merchandise

  • Access to exclusive areas

  • Duration of the experience

Clear inclusions reduce pre-sale questions and improve purchase confidence.


Differentiate Ticket Tiers Clearly

If you offer multiple ticket types, briefly explain what makes each one different. Avoid vague descriptions.

Instead of:
“VIP includes more perks.”

Write:
“VIP includes early entry, reserved front-row seating, and a signed merchandise item.”

Customers should be able to compare options easily without searching for details.


Address Key Logistics

Include essential event details toward the end of your description:

  • Start and end time

  • Age restrictions (if applicable)

  • Seating format (general admission or assigned seating)

  • Location details

Answering common questions within the description helps prevent hesitation at checkout.


Use Real Scarcity When Applicable

If your event has limited capacity, state it clearly.

Example:
“Limited to 40 attendees.”

Specific limits are more effective than general urgency phrases because they provide concrete information.


End With a Clear Call to Action

Close the description with a simple, direct instruction.

Examples:

  • “Reserve your seat today.”

  • “Select your ticket to join.”

A clear closing statement reinforces the next step.


Best Practices

  • Keep paragraphs short for readability.

  • Use formatting to make the description easy to scan.

  • Avoid unnecessary promotional language.

  • Review grammar and clarity before publishing.

A well-written event description provides clarity, structure, and confidence. When customers clearly understand what they are purchasing, conversion rates improve naturally.
