# Adding a new event
First, lets explain the composition of an event according to the Eventic conception.
An event can have **multiple event dates**, in this case a **calendar** will appear in the event page
An event date can have **multiple tickets**, each ticket have it's own quantity, price, and sales dates
## Event information

This select contains the list of categories that you manage through the Event > Categories section, organizers choose the most relevant category that is applicable to the event
### Name
This is a translatable text field which contains the event's name
### Description

### Attendees

### Languages, Subtitles, Year, Audiences, Country, Artists

### External link, Contact phone number, Contact email address, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Google plus, LinkedIn
These fields consist of the event contact information, all of them are optional
### Tags
To help attendee find events quickly, organizers can enter some keywords that identify their event (press Enter after each entry)
### Main event image
This is the event image that appears in the search results and at the top of the event page.
Organizers should choose the right image to represent their event (We recommend using at least a 1200x600px (2:1 ratio) image )
### Images gallery
Organizers can add other images that represent their event to be displayed as a full screen responsive gallery
## Event dates
Organizers can add multiple event dates, and at least one, to their event by clicking the Add button. Each event date has the following fields:
### Enable sales for this event date ?
If checked, the event date (and its tickets) won't be on sale anymore
{% hint style="info" %}
Once you **disable sales for an event date or an event ticket**, **the carts will be automatically updated to prevent unwanted** sales and the purchase will be canceled (the attendee will be notified by the change)
{% endhint %}
### Start date - End date
These dates are the dates that your event start and ends on. The start date is a mandatory field. They appear in the search results and in the event page as follows:
{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that once the event start date **(including hour and minute)** is elapsed, the event wont appear anymore in the search result, but will **remain on sale the points of sale** assigned to that specific event date
{% endhint %}
### Is this event date online ?
If set to no, the organizer will have to choose a venue from a list of his added venues. If set to yes (Online), the venues select will be hidden and the event will appear as an online event
###
### Does this event date has a seating plan?
If attendees for this event date need to pick their exact seat, you as an organizer are invited to go to the "My venues" section, added a new venue then design and assign a seating plan to the venue. Afterwards, you will be able to select the seating plan from this list.
### Scanners
If a scanner is assigned from this multiple options select field, he will be able to scan purchased tickets for this event date (on the platform and via the scanner mobile application). Scanners accounts can be managed by the organizer in the My scanners section
### Points of sale
If a scanner is assigned from this multiple options select field, he will be able to sell tickets for this event date. Points of sale accounts can be managed by the organizer in the My points of sale section
## Event date tickets
### Enable sales for this ticket ?
If checked, this specific event date ticket won't be on sale anymore
{% hint style="info" %}
The event page won't appear in the search results if no ticket are on sale, but it will be still accessible (the add to cart form will be replaced by a message: **No tickets on sale at this moment**)
{% endhint %}
### Ticket name
This is the designation of the ticket (i.g. Early bird, General admission, VIP...)
### Ticket description
If an organizer wants to clarify some aspects, he writes them here and they will appear in a tooltip next to the event date ticket designation
### Is this ticket free ?
Eventic supports free tickets, attendees won't pay the event ticket neither they will for the fees
### Price
This is the sale price of the ticket
### Promotional price
Set a price lesser than than the original price to indicate a promotion (this price will be the SALE price)
### Seating plan sections
When a seating plan is selected for an event date, you will need to select which sections from the selected plan are applicable to each ticket.
### Quantity
This is the tickets quantity available for sale for this ticket.
{% hint style="info" %}
The quantity is read only and automatically calculated for event dates with seating plans, and it will be equal to the number of (not hidden and not disabled) seats of the ticket's sections.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
If you **change the ticket quantity for an event date ticket after it is put on sale** (we specifically mean decreasing the quantity), upon cart confirmation, the system checks if the event date ticket still has the tickets quantity that is to be purchased, otherwise **the cart will be automatically updated** and the purchase will be canceled (the attendee will be notified by the change)
{% endhint %}
### Tickets per attendee
Set the number of tickets that an attendee can buy for this ticket type
### Sale start and end date
Organizers can set when the specific tickets can be on sale
{% hint style="info" %}
Once the form saved, the event will be set as a draft. After previsualizing the event page, the organizer has to click on the Publish button in order to put the event on sale
{% endhint %}
