Creating Events

This guide covers how to create an event as an organizer on Quicket using the event creation wizard.

Before you start

• You need an organizer account. Sign up or log in at organizer.quicket.me (or the organizer portal linked from quicket.me).
• Have your event details ready: title, date, venue, and ticket categories.
• Choose your organization (if you have more than one) before creating the event.

Wizard flow diagram

The creation process has five steps. You can move back and forth between steps before submitting. After you submit, the event is created and enters the event lifecycle (e.g. Pending approval).

Step 1: Basic info

Collects the core identity and schedule of the event. This affects the event page and registration by defining the event URL (slug), visibility (Published), and whether the event uses the V4 layout and reserved seating (Seated).

Field	Description
Title	The event name shown to attendees.
Slug	URL-friendly identifier (e.g. my-concert-2025). Used in the event URL.
Event type	Category such as concert, conference, workshop. Affects filters and display.
Start and end	Date and time the event starts and ends.
Venue	Name, address, and optional coordinates.
Published	Whether the event is visible on the site.
Seated	Whether the event uses reserved seating. When on, you get seat map and Seated Events options later.

Step 2: Content

Content and visuals shown on the event page. This affects the event page by controlling the description, policy, images, button label, creatives label, and sold-out message that attendees see.

Field	Description
Description	Rich-text description (lineup, schedule, what to expect).
Policy	Terms, rules, refund policy, or other legal text.
Thumbnail	Small image (e.g. for cards and listings).
Banner	Large image or banner for the event page header.
Button label	Text on the main CTA (e.g. "Register now", "Get tickets").
Creatives label	Label for the lineup/creatives section (e.g. "Lineup", "Artists").
Sold out text	Message shown when a category is sold out.
Rule book	Optional PDF or file (e.g. rules for a competition).

Step 3: Tickets

Define ticket categories (types of tickets) with price, quantity, and registration type. This affects registration by determining which flow attendees use for each category (general, team, individual, donation, whitelisted, or seated) and what fields they see.

• Add a category for each ticket type (e.g. General Admission, VIP, Early Bird), setting name, price, quantity, and registration type (e.g. general, team). Currency is set in Step 4.
• You can add multiple categories and reorder them.

For full category management, direct links, and category-level fields, see Categories & Pricing (also used after creation from the event dashboard).

  end
  categories --> EventPage["Event page / registration"]

Step 4: Settings

Controls how and when registration works, fees, and optional features. This affects the event page and registration by setting when registration opens and closes (live dates), whitelist-only access, multi-category and on-page registration, collect individual info, and other options that shape what attendees see and can do.

Area	Key settings
Currency & fees	Currency; organization and platform fee (or use org default).
Registration	Registration limit per order; registration start and end date; on-page registration; multi-category registration; collect individual information.
Visibility	Hide when finished; highlight.
Whitelist	Whitelist only; whitelist message.
Affiliation	Allow affiliation; commission rate and type.

Other options (e.g. organized by students, phase timer, memories) may appear depending on your organization and plan.

Step 5: Review

This step does not change settings; it lets you confirm everything before submit. Review all information from the previous steps.

• Use the back or step links to edit any section.
• Click Submit to create the event. The event is created as Draft. Use Setup → Settings to Request approval when ready (see Event lifecycle).

After creation

1. Status: The event is created as Draft. You can then Request approval (Draft → Pending approval) from Setup → Settings; a superuser must Approve or Reject unless your organization has Event auto approve on (see Event lifecycle). If approved (or if you set status to Approved when Event auto approve is on), the event becomes Scheduled and can go Ongoing and live when the registration start date is reached.
2. Once approved: The event becomes Scheduled. When the registration start date arrives, the system marks it Ongoing and live, and attendees can register (subject to your settings and whitelist).
3. Share: Share your event page link. You can use direct links to specific categories, whitelist registration, or general registration depending on your setup.
4. Manage: Use the event dashboard for everything after creation: Event dashboard, Setup & Settings, and Event lifecycle.

To see how each setting influences what attendees see on the event page and during registration, see Settings to Attendee Experience.
