How do we set up an event?

In order to sell tickets, you will need to set up an event. Events can include shows, concerts, games, festivals, and more!  To begin, log in to your administrator portal, then access your department by clicking GO TO DEPARTMENT and navigating into your department hosting your event. 

First, set up any ticket plans, seating charts, and venues you may need. To do this, click the Box Office icon on the left menu, and click Ticket Plans, Seating Charts, or Venues. Within each of the pages, you can set up any or all of the three. 
Note that if your seating will be general admission (or festival/open seating), you will not need to set up a seating chart. Seating charts are only for reserved seating, tables, or general admission sections at varying price levels. 

Once you have prepared your ticket plans, seating charts, and venues, you can begin to set up your event. 
1. Under the Box Office header, click EVENTS. 
2. Click ADD NEW EVENT. 
3. Fill out the form on this page. Note that you can only select one seating chart and ticket plan within this page, however if you need to update them for single dates in your event, you can do so within the next page. 
4. When your form is completed, click SUBMIT EVENT.
