1. Creating your event: choosing the right starting point

The session begins with the three ways you can create an event and when to use each one:
  • Start from scratch – Best for first-time events or when you’re creating a completely different format.
  • Repeat an event – Ideal when the same event is running again on a new date. This copies everything across, making it the fastest option for annual events.
  • Make a copy – Best for similar events that need changes (such as name, date, or location). Some elements won’t carry over, including reviews, capacities, and event-specific discount codes.
Avoid updating the date on an old event, as this can mix previous participants into a new event’s start list!

2. What to set up before launch

Once your event is created, the webinar demos the key areas to review in Manage event, including:
  • Event details & event page content: Images, descriptions, logistics, FAQs, tags, and terms & conditions.
  • Races: Setting up multiple distances or activities, each with its own start time.
  • Tickets: Pricing, open and close dates, booking fees, purchase limits, fast checkout, and age restrictions.
  • Booking forms: Required for each ticket to be bookable.
  • Custom booking questions: Created as booking form fields and then added to the relevant booking form.

​
3. Common setup issues (and how to avoid them)

The most common reasons tickets aren’t bookable, including:
  • Event details not updated after copying or repeating an event
  • Tickets still marked as sold out
  • Booking forms missing or not live
  • Ticket availability dates left in the past
These are quick fixes once you know where to look!
