Start & End Period

How to Set Ticket Start and End Dates in EventNook

EventNook allows you to control the ticket sales period by setting Start and End Dates for your event tickets. This feature helps you manage when tickets become available and when sales should stop, allowing for strategies such as limited-time promotions or pre-sale events.

Why Use Start and End Dates?

For example, if you want to create urgency and drive early sales, you might enable a pre-sale window where tickets are only available for 24 to 48 hours. Similarly, you can set a clear cut-off date for when tickets will no longer be available, helping to manage your event logistics effectively.

How to Set the Start and End Dates:

1. Go to Event Setting > Ticket & Fee

   • In the event dashboard, navigate to the Ticket Types section.

   • Select the ticket type for which you want to set a sales period.

2. Set Start Date (Optional)

   • Under the Start Date field, select the date and time when ticket sales should begin.

   • This is useful for scheduling ticket releases, such as opening sales at a specific time for early-bird or pre-sale promotions.

3. Set End Date (Optional)

   • Under the End Date field, set the date and time when ticket sales will stop.

   • This helps control the last available time to purchase tickets before the event or when a specific ticket type is no longer offered (e.g., early-bird discounts).

4. Save the Settings

   • Once you have configured the dates, click Save to apply the changes.

Key Points:

• The Start and End Dates are optional. You can set either or both, depending on your sales strategy.

• If Start Date is set, ticket sales will be open after the start date.

• If End Date is set, ticket sales will continue until the end date.

Example Scenario:

You might want to offer early-bird tickets that go on sale for 48 hours before regular ticket sales start. By setting the Start Date and End Date, you can automate this process and create excitement among attendees.

Summary:

Using Start and End Dates gives you greater flexibility to manage ticket availability and drive sales at key points in your event promotion. Whether you’re offering limited-time pre-sales or setting a final deadline for ticket purchases, EventNook’s ticket settings make it easy to schedule and automate the process.
