How to create an event in the organizer panel – from choosing a type to images, tickets and forms. The event is saved as a draft until you publish it yourself.
Start the wizard
Click + New Event in the organizer panel. The wizard has five steps: Type, Basic Info, Bilder (images), Tickets and Forms & Codes. You need the Owner, Admin or Manager role.
Step 1: Choose a type
| Type | Best for |
|---|---|
| Normal Event | Festivals, concerts, talks, courses – tickets without fixed seat numbers. |
| Seated Event | Theatre, cinema, sport – buyers pick a seat on a seat map. Choose a saved venue under Choose Venue and click Continue with Selected Venue. |
For a seated event, the venue must exist before you start. If you don't have one yet, create it under Venues first – see Venues and seat maps. Picked the wrong type? Click Change Type.
Step 2: Basic info
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Event Name * | Shown as the heading on the event page and in listings. |
| Category | Helps visitors find the event. If the right category is missing, add one with New category. Categories are shared by all organizers on Ticsie. |
| Description | Write it in Swedish. Use the language tabs to add translations and the Översätt från svenska (translate from Swedish) button – see Custom event page and translations. |
| Start Date & Time * | Must be in the future. |
| End Date & Time (optional) | When the event finishes. |
| Location | Venue Name, Street Address, Postal Code and City. For seated events, the address is taken from the venue. |
| Ticket Types | Optional: add quick rows with name, price and VAT now. For seated events you can click the venue's categories to add them. |
| Name Collection Per Ticket | Per Order: the buyer's name once per purchase (suits most events). Per Ticket: a name for every ticket (conferences, name badges). |
| Kräv telefonnummer (require phone number) | Buyers must enter a phone number when purchasing. |
Click Fortsätt till bilder (continue to images). The event is now saved as a draft – visitors can't see it until you publish.
Step 3: Images
- Upload your own images or search and pick images from Unsplash.
- Up to 6 images, max 5 MB each, in jpg, png, gif or webp format.
- Drag and drop to reorder. The first image becomes the cover and is used in listings and when the link is shared.
Step 4: Tickets
Here you create ticket types with + New ticket type and can group them with + New group. Each ticket type has its own price, VAT rate, quantity and sales period. All the fields are explained in Ticket types, prices and VAT and Ticket groups.
Note
It's the Max quantity on each ticket type that limits sales. The event's Max Capacity (optional) field is informational only and doesn't stop any purchases.
Step 5: Forms & codes
Optional extras:
- Form Fields – questions for the buyer, such as T-shirt size or dietary needs. See Form fields and buyer questions.
- Discount Codes – codes that give a discount on tickets. See Create discount codes.
At the bottom you'll find the publish button when you're ready. If you want to sell via a link only or to a closed group, read Status, publishing and visibility first.
Editing later
Open the event and choose Edit. The page has the same tabs as the wizard: Basic Info, Bilder, Tickets and Forms & Codes. The Basic Info tab also has:
- Status – draft, published, unlisted, private, cancelled or archived.
- Custom event page – your own colours, logo and background image.
- Seat Map & Venue – link or change a venue.
At the top of the page are the Preview, Publish and Remove buttons, plus the Har detta evenemang flera datum? (does this event have several dates?) box where you turn the event into a schedule – see Events with multiple dates.
Save with Save Changes. You can edit the event until Ticsie has paid it out – after that it's locked.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change the date after tickets have been sold?
Yes, you can change the date and time under Edit. Buyers are not notified automatically, so let them know yourself, for example with a campaign.
Why can't I pick a date in the past?
The start date and time must be in the future when you create an event.
How do I change the cover image?
Go to the images tab and drag the image you want to the first position.
Can I turn a normal event into a seated one?
Yes – link a venue under Seat Map & Venue on the Basic Info tab. Then add seat numbers to your ticket types or create them from the venue's categories.
