Create an event and put tickets on sale

It all happens on one screen: a name, a venue, one ticket type — then you publish.

Step by step

  1. Type the event's name. The date is already set to the coming Friday — change it if your night is on another day.
  2. Open “Venue” and pick the place from the catalogue. The venue sets the timezone and the currency of your tickets.
  3. Open “Tickets”, press “Add tier” and choose “A different kind of ticket”. Fill in a name, a price and how many there are, then press “Save”.
  4. Press “Publish”. You land on the event's public page — that is the link to share.

If Strobo asks for a contact email or your seller status before it publishes, follow the link in that message, then publish again. Buyers can pay once your Stripe account is connected.

Questions

Do I need a ticket type before I publish?
No. The form lists what is still missing under “Before you publish”, but it never stops you from publishing.
What can stop an event from publishing?
Strobo asks you once to accept the Terms, and it needs a public contact email for your organization. An event with paid tickets also needs your seller status. On the Free plan, the plan's limits are checked too.
Can I run a free event?
Yes. Set the ticket price to 0. Guests leave their email and get a ticket with a QR code, and nothing is charged. A free event does not need a Stripe account.
What if the date has already passed?
Strobo warns you before publishing. A published event with a past date goes straight to Completed.
Can I change the event after publishing?
Yes. Open the event's “Settings” tab, make the change and press “Save changes”. Once the event has paid orders, it can no longer move to a venue in another currency.
