Overview
This guide walks you through the essentials of getting set up as a ticket seller on an Evvnt-powered ticketing site. From your first login through creating your first event, you'll learn how the system is organized, how to configure your organization, and how to build an event listing that's ready to sell tickets.
This is for event creators and ticket sellers who are new to the platform or need a refresher on the fundamentals. For the full picture of what's available, see Selling Tickets with Evvnt.
Navigating the Ticketing System
After logging in, the admin interface provides access to your events, organizations, orders, reports, and settings through a left-side navigation menu. The interface is organized into an Edit section for building and managing your events and a Settings section for configuring your organization and account. Your event dashboard gives you an at-a-glance view of sales activity, attendee data, and key metrics for each event.

Organization and Account Setup
Every event on the platform belongs to an Organization — the entity that hosts the event and receives payouts. Before you can create events, your organization needs to be set up with contact information, user accounts, and notification preferences. If you signed up through a ticketing site's self-service option, your organization was created automatically. You can also add additional users to your organization to share management responsibilities.

Creating Your First Event
Building an event listing starts with setting your event's date and time, location, description, and images. Once the basic details are in place, you'll create your tickets — setting the price, quantity, and when each ticket type should be available for sale. The platform includes tools for editing live events, and the event page design is optimized for helping visitors find what they need and complete their purchase.

Event Types and Formats
Not every event fits the same mold. The platform supports several event formats to match how your event actually runs: a single-date event for a one-time occurrence, a multi-day event that spans several consecutive days as one continuous event, and a recurring series for events like a theater production that repeats across many individual dates. Each format affects how tickets are created and how buyers select their attendance.
