In this help article, we’ll walk you through how to set up recurring events, which may be useful if the same event will happen repeatedly. For example:
If you run multiple classes on a weekly basis.
If you host a monthly workshop.
If you're ticketing entry to an attraction where you want to sell slots for different times of the day, over a long period of time.
Recurring events work by creating ‘occurrences’ of an event, which alway share the same core event details and set-up, including ticket types.
💡 If you're running a festival or an event with different locations or descriptions during each occurrence, you'll want to create separate events or one event with different ticket types.
How to set up a recurring event
Head to ‘Events’ and click on ‘Add new event’ to get started.
Enter the name of your event – remember this name will be the same title across all occurrences of your event.
Select the checkbox ‘This is a recurring event.’ under the dates and times. (The dates and times will disappear - don’t worry, you'll add them on the next page).
Continue to fill out all of the other details for your events, including ticket types and the general event settings.
The settings and ticket types you chose here will automatically be applied to all occurrences of the event. For example, if you chose to put 20 tickets on sale, this will mean each occurrence of the event will have 20 tickets available.
Hit ‘Save event’, and you'll be redirected to a new ‘Manage occurrences’ page where you can add the dates and times of your event occurrences.
Adding repeating or single occurrences
To add repeating occurrences, click the ‘Add repeating occurrences’ button.
Then add the times of your events, or select that your events will occur all day. If your event runs multiple sessions on the same day, you can schedule all time slots by clicking the ‘Add another time’ button.
Next, you can schedule the repeating dates for which your above event times will run.
Select the first date your event will run. If your event repeats daily or weekly, select this from the drop-down menu, and then select the end date when prompted.
If the events are scheduled less frequently, select ‘n/a’ in the dropdown, and choose your specific dates, using the ‘Add another date’ button.
To add a single occurrence, click the ‘Add single occurrence’ button.
Input the date and time duration of your occurrence.
You can add more occurrences by repeating this step, or by following the steps for repeating occurrences in this help article.
When you're ready, click on ‘Preview event page’ to see how it looks. Once you're happy, set your event live by hitting ‘Publish’ on the dropdown at the top of your dashboard. Please note that by clicking ‘Publish’, you're putting live all occurrences of the event, and they'll be available for sale via the same event page.
Here’s what it will look like for your ticket buyers:
💡 Things to note
You can use 'overrides' to edit dates, times and ticket capacity once you've created your event. All occurrences of an event will share the same order confirmation and checkout settings.
