Creating New Event
Tickets Hub you can easily create and manage events, customize event types, venues, performers, and more. Plus, the plugin provides you with detailed reports and analytics to help you analyze your sales data.
1. Title and Description
After clicking the Add New button, you will be redirected to the Add New Event page. You will find this a familiar sight if you have created blog posts or pages on your website in the past. The title field is for adding the event’s title. The large editor area will be the content or description of your event. You are free to use combination of rich text and images in this area.
Below the editor, you will find a tabbed section named Event Settings which provides additional fields to store event properties. Let’s discuss these tabs.
2. Date and Time
The first and most important among these is the Date and Time tab . Here you can set the event start and end date (and the respective times if you want). Or you can choose to hide the date and time by checking the box next to the corresponding fields, if you haven’t decided them yet. Remember, you can always come back to edit this later.
If you choose to hide the start date, you will be presented with an additional input-box to enter a custom text. This text will replace the start date on the event page. You can use this feature to show text like “To Be Decided” instead of the date to your visitors. See these screenshots for comparison.
A word about the Additional Dates feature
Additional Dates allow you to save multiple dates for an event which are not related to the event’s start and end dates. For example, rehearsal, practice, sale starts etc. This is not to be used as internal event schedule. Since you can name these dates, they can essentially act as date variables. These date variables are very useful while creating bookings and offers where you need to map them with certain dates without the need to re-enter same dates again and again, or change dates for multiple tickets from single input-box.
Tickets Section
The next tab section, name Tickets , is for creating and managing the booking system for your event. There are 3 possibilities:
If you have selected option c, you can skip the next section.
Using the Native Tickets Hub Booking System
If you select option b, you will be presented will additional options to fine-tune pricing for your event.
One-Time Event Fee is added once to the total booking amount during the checkout. This can also act as entrance fee, cover charge etc. Check Allow Cancellation to let users cancel their bookings after completion. When turned on, users will see a cancellation link on their booking details page.
