Organizing an event

Create a recurring or timed entry event in Eventbrite's new recurring event experience

Eventbrite's new recurring event tools let you create events with multiple time slots per day across multiple dates. Use this to make timed entry events or events that repeat across multiple dates. To get started, create a new event and set the date to Recurring event. Then go to Manage dates and times to add dates and time slots to your event.

NOTE: This feature is only available for organizers in the United States or Canada. If you're not in the United States or Canada, follow these steps instead to create a recurring event.

Review your event type

Eventbrite's new recurring event experience is great for:

  • Events that repeat on a regular schedule, like twice a week or every month

  • Events with multiple times of entry, like a tour that happens every 30 minutes from 10 AM - 2 PM

This experience is not ideal for:

  • Events that occur once with one entrance time

  • Multi-day events where each attendee registers once to get access to the entire event

  • Series of events that occur at different locations with different activities

  • Events that need more than 500 time slots. This is the current max amount.

Create your event

1. Create a new event.

Log in to your Eventbrite account and go to Events. Then select Create Event and Start from scratch.

NOTE: Recurring events aren't currently available when making your event with AI.

2. Set the date to "Recurring event."

Select Date and time, then select Recurring event.

3. Update your other event details.

  • Upload an event image and video.

  • Add an event title.

  • Choose a location.

  • Fill out your overview and “good to know” information with details about your event.

4. Save and continue.

Set up dates and time slots

Each recurring event has dates, which are the days your event occurs on, and time slots within those dates

1. Go to "Manage dates and times."

2. Select "Add a date" and choose your date(s).

Under Add dates and times, select the dates you'd like to add. Fill out the following:

  • Start date: The first date you'd like to add.

  • Repeats: How frequently you would like your event to reoccur.

  • End date: The last date you'd like to add.

NOTE: You can add dates multiple times, even after your event is live. If you accidentally add any dates you don't need, you'll be able to remove them as well.

3. Add time slot(s).

Under Time, choose either:

  • Single time: Create a single time slot for this day.

  • Multiple times: Create multiple time slots for this day.

Then enter each time slot's start and end time. If you picked Multiple times, select +Add a time slot to create a new time slot.

4. Optional: Bulk create time slots.

After you've selected Multiple times, you can create multiple time slots at once by selecting Generate time slots.

Then, update the following:

  1. Start time: When the first time slot starts.

  2. End time: When the last time slot ends.

  3. Time slots repeat every: How often your time slots repeat.

  4. Time slot duration: How long each time slot lasts. By default, this is until the next time slot starts.

When you've updated your settings, select Preview time slots. This will let you change, remove, or add additional time slots.

5. Save your changes.

After you save your changes, Manage dates and times will show your created time slots.

Select a date to view its time slots in more detail. You can:

  • Select Edit time to change its times.

  • Select Delete date to remove the entire date.

Get your event ready to publish

1. Update the rest of your event details.

2. Go to "Publish" and review your settings.

3. Select "Publish."

Navigate your recurring event

Each recurring event has a recurring event overview and dashboards for each time slot. The overview shows general information about your event. Meanwhile, the dashboards show information specific to their time slot.

Recurring event overview

The default view is the recurring event overview. This overview includes details about your event in general. It also allows you to make changes to your event. Start here if you want to update important event details like your location and description.

To get to your recurring event overview:

  1. Sign in at Eventbrite.

  2. Go to Events .

  3. Search and select your recurring event.

Event dashboard

Each time slot shown on your recurring event overview has its own dashboard. This dashboard shows information about that specific time slot, such as ticket count and recent orders.

From your recurring event overview, select a time slot to go its event dashboard.
