Set up a simple ticketed event

This guide walks you through creating a basic event with one or more ticket types and a branded registration page. It's the quickest way to get up and running with IO.

What you’ll set up

• A new event with basic details
• One or more ticket types
• A landing page where attendees can register

1. Create your event

From your account dashboard, click New event. Enter your event title, start date, and optional end date. Your event URL slug is generated automatically — you can customize it if you like.

For full details, see Creating an event.

2. Add ticket types

Navigate to Ticket types in your event sidebar. Click to create a new ticket type. Give it a title, set the price (or leave it free), and configure the quantity available.

If you need multiple tiers — for example, Early Bird and General Admission — create a ticket type for each one. You can control the order they appear on your registration page.

For full details, see Ticket types.

3. Initialize your landing page

Go to Access and under Share event page click Activate share link. This creates a public event page with all your ticket types shown.

You can now share the URL of the public landing page to allow people to self-register for your event.

For full details, see Landing pages.

4. Monitor your registrations

You can monitor registrations in real time from your event dashboard and the Orders and Attendees sections.
