Quick start: sell your first ticket

This is the hands-on path from nothing to live ticket sales. It assumes your account and organization already exist.

The wizard: your first event

Until your organization has a published event, Events → New event opens a short step-by-step wizard instead of the full form. It asks only what you need to sell a ticket; everything else has a sensible default and can be changed later.

1. Type — one date, several days, or timeslots (visitors pick their own moment). Or start from an example: dinner, quiz, workshop series, photo shoot, festival, walk, seminar or party fill in the sittings, ticket types, form questions and suggested extras straight away; you then adjust anything. If you already have templates, you can start from one.
2. Basics — title, date and time, an optional location (you can create one on the spot) and an optional description. Improve with AI rewrites your description so it reads naturally and gets to the point, keeping your facts; it avoids emoji, dashes and hype, and you can undo it. The same button sits under the description in the full event form. Your event starts in your organization's language; Add translation offers French, Dutch or English, and Translate with AI drafts the other language for you to review.
3. Tickets — name, price and quantity per ticket type, or tick Free event. Under Questions at checkout add what you need per ticket type beyond the buyer's name and e-mail (a name per attendee, dietary needs, a phone number, a t-shirt size or your own question) and choose whether it is filled in once per order or once per ticket; then set the total capacity. More options hides sales windows, hidden ticket types, per-order limits and the age check.
4. Look — an image for the event page and your logo. You can skip this step.
5. Publish — a summary and a readiness check (see below), then Publish or Save as draft.

On the right you see a live preview of the event page, the ticket and the confirmation e-mail as you fill things in. Grey placeholders show what is not set up yet, such as a logo or wallet passes.

Your draft is saved from step 2 onwards, so you can close the wizard with Save and close and pick it up later from the event list. Full form switches to the complete event form at any time, with everything you typed.

The readiness check

Before publishing, the wizard checks what your buyers will run into:

• Payment provider — only for paid tickets. Connect Stripe or Mollie, or enable bank transfer right there by entering your IBAN.
• Privacy policy — always required: as the organizer you are the data controller. You can paste the URL of your policy in the wizard.
• Event limit — on the Free plan, the number of published events per month.
• Translations — a warning when a second language is incomplete.
• Company details and terms and conditions are recommended but never block publishing.

After publishing

The final screen shows your public link with a copy button and a QR code, plus three suggested next steps that match your event: for example a discount code for a paid event, a waitlist when you set a capacity, and the scanner app for the door. Discover everything lists every Cleartix feature by group, with a Studio or Pro label where a plan upgrade is needed.

Without the wizard

Prefer the full form? Tick Always use the full form from now on in the wizard's Full form menu, or change it later under Settings → Guidance (also reachable at /guidance). The wizard stays available via Step by step on the new-event page.

What comes next

From here you can collect attendee data at checkout, create discount codes, and check people in at the door with the scanner. Each of these has its own guide in the help center.
