Create your first event

An event is the heart of everything you sell on Cleartix. This guide walks you through creating one from scratch.

1. Open the new event form

Go to Events → New event. This opens a blank event ready to fill in. If you have templates, the Start from template choice sits at the very top — pick one and the form is prefilled for you.

On desktop the form has two columns: the main column holds the basics, date & time and ticket types, with a settings sidebar next to it for publication, location & capacity, timezone, order limits and audience. On mobile everything stacks, and the save button sits in a fixed bar at the bottom.

2. Fill in the basics

• Title — the name shown to your audience.
• Description — a rich-text field for the full details: what's happening, the programme, practical info.
• Event notes (optional) — important practical info shown on your event page.
• Image — a cover image for your event page.

3. Set the date and time

Each date row holds the start date and time and the end date and time side by side on one line. The times follow your event's timezone, which you set in the sidebar (next step).

4. Work through the settings sidebar

• Publication — the event's status and the save button.
• Location & capacity — optionally pick one of your saved Locations and set an overall capacity, a hard ceiling across all ticket types.
• Timezone — a dropdown grouped by continent, preselected to your organization's default timezone.
• Order limits — max tickets per order (optional) caps how many one customer can buy.
• Audience & consent — the under-13 audience checkbox (see below).

5. Set the optional toggles

• Show remaining places to buyers — under Location & capacity; displays low-stock warnings to encourage bookings.
• This event targets children under 13 — under Audience & consent; when enabled, checkout asks for a parent or guardian's name, email and consent.

What happens next

Your event is saved as a draft — invisible to the public until you publish it. Its URL slug — the address of your public event page — is generated automatically from the title. The next step is to add what people will actually buy: see Ticket types.
