How to create your first event

To create an event in TixFox, go to Events, click Create Event, fill in the details and click Create Event. Your event is saved as a draft. Add your tickets, check the page with Preview, then click Publish now to start selling.

Go to Events and click Create Event.
Check the Currency and Organizer at the top right.
Type your Event Title.
Write a Description. You can add bold text, lists, links and images. Tell buyers what's included, the timings and anything they need to know.
Under Event Image, upload a picture for your event page. PNG, JPG or WEBP, up to 6MB.

3. Add your tickets

Your event opens on its own page with tabs along the top. Go to Ticket Types to add your tickets, prices and quantities. See Adding Ticket Types to Your Event for the details.

The other tabs are there when you need them: Add-ons for extras, Custom Fields for questions at checkout, Checkout Settings, Theme for your page design, and Check-in Assistants for your door staff.

4. Preview and publish

Until you publish, your event is a draft and buyers can't see it. Under Event Page Link, click Preview to see your page the way buyers will. It opens in a new tab, and while it's a draft, only you can see it.

When you're happy, click Publish now in the banner at the top.
