Setting up an Event
- Log in/Sign up. Log in to Billetto first if you already have a user. If you are a new user, go to Billetto and click on Sign Up. Then enter your email twice and choose a password or sign in with Facebook/Google;
- Create Event. Then click on ''Create Event''. Here you can choose the tier you wish your event to be in;
- Event Name. Next, you will be able to make customisations, starting with your event name. It's good to have a headline that captures the event you are holding;
- Organised by. This input helps Ticket Buyers know who has arranged the event and who to go to if they need to get hold of you;
- Event start date and time. This is your event's duration. If you want to hold multiple events we recommend using our Recurring Event feature.
- Address. Here you can choose to either select a Venue or an Online Event on the left side. If you choose Online Event read more here. Alternatively, choose the venue and enter the address where the event is taking place. You can choose to search the location automatically, enter it manually or connect to a venue. If you have already used us for past events and are using the same address for all your events, then you can benefit from connecting a venue as we store previous locations on your profile so you don't have to enter the address each time.
- Description. Write here a description of what the event is about. This is where you can catch potentially interested parties so feel free to get creative. It is good to write a description that suits what customers can expect and any frequently asked questions. You also have the option of inserting images or videos in the description;
- Event Type & Category. Here you select the Event Type and Category from a list. This is used for event discovery for ticket buyers;
- Tags. Here you can create additional tags that support your choice of category. Similar to a Social Media Hashtag;
- Choosing ticket type. Here you can choose the ticket type for your event. Once you have selected the ticket type, you can write an optional ticket name or leave the box as it is. Then you set the price for what it costs to participate in the event unless you have chosen the free ticket type. Then you can also see what your guests have to pay in ticket fees or what you have to pay if you choose to include the ticket fee in your price. Make sure to enter a suitable max quantity of tickets sold to prevent overselling.
- Choosing an Image Banner: You can either choose to upload your own banner or use our integration with Unsplash. You can search for a free banner to use for your event through their interface. When uploading your own image we recommend as high quality and eye-catching as possible. Images 1900 width by 600 height in pixels or larger, and minimal wording is best suited as a banner as the Event name will appear over the banner.
Advanced Settings
This option is related to the choice of ticket type. Once you have created your ticket type, you can click on the small cog icon next to the ticket. Below is a list of the options
- Sales start & end. Here you can set when the current ticket type must go on sale, and when it should shut down the sale. So if you want to publish and publicly make your event before the sale starts, you can do this by setting this option on the ticket. (If this feature is not set correctly, your event will say no tickets available);
- Tickets per Order. Here you can set a minimum and a maximum per order that the customers must or can buy. This way you can limit how many tickets per order the buyers can purchase;
- Ticket fee. Here you choose whether the ticket fee will be added to the ticket price or whether it must be included in the ticket price. If it is added, it means that the Billetto fee will be on top of the standard ticket price, and if it is included it means that the fee will come from the organiser revenue. When the ticket fee is included, this is deducted from your events turnover before the payment is made when the event is held. Additionally, in the case of refunds, the Billetto fee is always excluded;
- VAT rate. Here you can choose whether to show on the buyer's receipt how much VAT is based on the ticket.
