How to Create Your First Event on Eventsona (UK)

What you will set up

This guide walks you through publishing a live event on Eventsona: basic details, date and venue, GBP ticket types, cover image, and sharing the public URL. You do not need a marketing stack to go live—one clear page and one shareable link are enough for a first sale.

Step 1: Create your organiser account

Sign up, verify your email, and open your organiser dashboard. If you are running events under a brand or company name, create or select an organisation so team members and payouts sit in the right place later.

Step 2: Start a new event

From the dashboard, choose Create Event. You will work through event details, timing, location, tickets, and media before you publish.

Step 3: Enter the basics buyers need

Fill in fields that convert browsers into ticket buyers:

• Title: Clear and searchable (who or what + city or format when it helps)
• Description: What happens, who it is for, and what is included
• Category and tags: Help discovery on Eventsona browse and search

Step 4: Set date, time, and timezone

Add start and end times with the correct timezone. For multi-session days, put the agenda in the description so attendees know when to arrive.

Step 5: Add location or access details

Choose the format that matches reality:

• In person: Venue name and full address buyers can navigate to
• Online / livestream access: How ticket holders receive the join link (your streaming tool is separate from Eventsona)
• Hybrid: Both venue details and remote access instructions, with separate ticket types if experiences differ

Step 6: Create GBP ticket types

Add at least one ticket type. Typical first-event setups:

• Name (Early Bird, General Admission, VIP)
• Price in GBP and capacity
• Sale window (start and end) if you want timed pricing

Keep tiers meaningful—only split prices when inclusions differ. Decide whether platform fees are shown as pass-through at checkout or absorbed from your payout (see Pricing).

Step 7: Upload a cover image

Use a sharp photo of the venue, stage, or previous night. Avoid heavy text overlays that crop badly on mobile.

Step 8: Review and publish

Check title, date, venue, ticket prices, and capacity. Publish when ready. You can edit details after going live; avoid changing time or venue without notifying ticket holders.

Step 9: Share one public event link

Copy the Eventsona event URL and use it everywhere: Instagram, WhatsApp, posters, and your own email list. One destination reduces confusion and keeps sales in your dashboard. Optional: add a promo code later for partners (see the promo codes guide).

Practical tips for a first sell-out path

• Promote at least a few weeks ahead when capacity is limited
• Lead the page with date, place, and price clarity
• Reply quickly when buyers message you about access or refunds
• Buyers receive confirmation emails with ticket details after purchase—use that channel for clear next steps on the page itself

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Stripe set up before I publish?

You can draft and publish event details early, but connect payouts (Stripe Connect) before you rely on paid sales settling to your bank. Read payouts and Stripe Connect explained.

Can I edit tickets after publishing?

Yes. Adjust remaining capacity, sale windows, and copy carefully. Avoid surprising buyers who already purchased a named tier.

Where should I send people to buy?

Always the public Eventsona event URL. Do not invent parallel checkout links that bypass your orders list.
