Creating your first event

How to create, set up and publish an event from your organizer dashboard.

This article is for event organizers. You create events from your dashboard at clubly.vip/dashboard.

Before you start

  • You need an organizer account. If you don't have one yet, click Become an Organizer in your dashboard.

  • Selling tickets? Connect your Stripe payout account first. See "How payouts work for organizers."

  • Have these ready: event name, date and times, venue and address, a poster, and your ticket prices.

Step 1: Start your event

  1. Click Create Event in the sidebar.

  2. Choose Ticketed Event to sell tickets, or RSVP Event for free entry with a guest list.

  3. Type your event name. You can add a subtitle too.

  4. Click Date and pick the day from the calendar.

Step 2: Add the time and venue

  1. Click Starts and Ends. Use a quick-select time (6 PM, 8 PM, 10 PM, 12 AM) or the arrows, then click Done.

  2. Enter the Venue Name.

  3. Start typing the Street Address and pick it from the suggestions.

  4. Want to keep the location secret? Turn on Hide the exact address until later. Guests see the area only, and ticket holders get the address at a time you pick.

Step 3: Fill in the rest

  • Poster: click Add your poster. Recommended size is 1080×1296 (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF or HEIC, up to 5 MB). You can add up to 10 more photos to the gallery.

  • About: tell people what to expect.

  • Details: category, age restriction and Max Attendees (required).

  • Tickets: click Add Ticket Tier. See "Ticket types, pricing, and promos."

  • Refund policy: choose whether buyers can get refunds.

  • Extras (optional): schedule, featured performers, dress code, special offers, tags, visibility and page colors.

Step 4: Publish

  • Click Preview to see your event page.

  • Click Publish to go live, or Save Draft to finish later.

Your progress is saved on this device as you go ("Draft saved"). Click Clear to start over.

After you publish

You can edit your event anytime. Once tickets are sold or RSVPs are made, the date, time and location are locked. See "Editing an event" and "Cancelling or rescheduling an event."
