Events#
Events manage the tickets your customers can purchase. Tickets are very similar to Commerce Products, and in fact are purchasables (opens new window), allowing it to make use of many core Commerce functions.
Create an Event#
Go to the main section for Events in your control panel main menu. This will list all the events you've created.
Before you can start creating events, you'll first need to setup a Event Type → and a Ticket Type →
Each field is fairly self-explanatory, but any additional information is provided below.

- Start Date: The event start date.

- All Day Event: Whether this event should span the whole day. This will automatically set the start and end date times to midnight on the respective days.
- Slug: The slug for this event.

- Delete: The delete button deletes the event. Already purchased tickets for this event remain in the database.
Any custom fields you've added to an Event Type will appear as tabs preceding the Dates/Times tab.
