Quick start: your first event

A checklist from sign-up to your first ticket sold. Each step takes a few minutes and links to a detailed guide if you want to dig deeper.

1. Get an account and become an organizer

1. Create a Ticsie account and verify your email address. See Create an account and log in.
2. Register your organization at Become an Organizer. You're approved instantly and taken to the organizer panel. See Become an organizer on Ticsie.
3. Add your bank details. Go to Settings → Utbetalningsuppgifter (payout details) and enter a bankgiro or bank account. Without them Ticsie can't pay out your revenue. See Settings for your organization.

2. Create the event

1. Numbered seats? Build the venue and seat map first under Venues. If you sell standing or unreserved tickets, skip this. See Venues and seat maps.
2. Start the wizard. Click + New Event and choose Normal Event or Seated Event.
3. Fill in the basics. Name, description, start and end time and location. Click Fortsätt till bilder (continue to images) – the event is now saved as a draft that nobody else can see. See Create an event.
4. Add images. Upload your own or pick from Unsplash. The first image becomes the cover.
5. Several dates? Running the same event more than once? Turn it into a schedule. See Events with multiple dates.

3. Set up your tickets

1. Create at least one ticket type on the Tickets tab with + New ticket type. Set the price, VAT and Max quantity – that's what limits how many can be bought. See Ticket types, prices and VAT.
2. Decide who pays the platform fee. Per ticket type: Included in price or Added on top. See Fees and who pays what.
3. Optional: group your tickets with ticket groups, for example "Day pass" and "Weekend pass".
4. Optional: ask buyers questions with form fields (e.g. dietary needs) and create discount codes on the Forms & Codes tab.

4. Review and publish

1. Preview. Click Preview and read the page as a buyer would: date, location, prices, images and description.
2. Check the confirmation. Want to see what the ticket email looks like? Send yourself a complimentary ticket. The order costs 0 kr and can be deleted afterwards.
3. Publish. Click Publish. The event is now listed on Ticsie and tickets can be bought. If you only want to sell via a link or to a closed group, choose Unlisted or Private instead. See Status, publishing and visibility.

5. Promote and sell

• Share the link. The event's Overview has a Share button with a link and QR code. That's also where you follow visits and sales. See Overview and statistics and Your public profile and sharing events.
• Reach past visitors with email or SMS campaigns.
• Let others sell for you with affiliate links.
• Keep an eye on orders under Orders. See Orders, search and export.

6. On the day and afterwards

• Check in your guests under Check-in or with the Ticsie app. Invite door staff with the Scanner role – they only see the event list and check-in. See Check-in at the door and Team and roles.
• Get paid. After the event has taken place, Ticsie pays out your revenue, minus your share of the platform fee, to the bank details in Settings. See Payouts.
