You can easily copy an event to help save you time and help ensure consistency when setting up new events. Some examples:
Copy the event setup you used for your existing Plymouth event series to start a brand new series in a new location, eg. Dartmouth event series
Re-use a successful event format to create a new event under different branding
You have several events and want to use a similar ticket setup, booking form questions, and sales configurations across all of them.
Considerations:
Before copying an event, first consider whether the Renew feature is better for your setup instead.
Renew an event: if you are planning to continue the same event and extend it to next year, and you’d like to maintain your historic data and reports, we recommend using the Renew feature instead.
Copy an event: continue reading if you intend to set up a separate but similar new event. Your new event will not be linked historically to the one you’ve copied.
Which events can be copied?
You can copy any past or upcoming event from your Events list.

Review and update key dates
We’ll automatically update some of your date settings based on the new event start date you’ve provided. However, you’ll need to review and update specific dates based on your new event’s schedule. Some key areas to note:

Race start dates:
✅ Automatically updated to reflect the new start date
Tickets:
