Create your first event
Creating an event in Fanz takes about 5-10 minutes. The system guides you through each step so you don't miss anything important.
Want all the details? This guide covers the basics. For advanced options, see Create event.
What you'll need
Before starting, have ready:
- Event info – Title, description, date and time
- Location – Where the event takes place
- Banner image – 1000x500px recommended (max 1MB)
- Ticket details – Name, price, and quantity
Step 1: Start creating
Click the "+ Create event" button in the top right corner of your dashboard.
Step 2: Add event information
Fill in the basics:
- Upload your banner – Drag and drop or browse
- Event title – The name everyone will see
- Description – What the event is about (tip: use "Improve with AI" to polish your text)
- Category – Optional, helps organize your events
- Location – Create a new one or pick from saved locations
Step 3: Set dates and times
Choose your event schedule:
- Single date – For one-time events
- Multiple dates – Add each date manually
- Date generator – For recurring events (theater runs, weekly shows, etc.)
Step 4: Create your tickets
This is the most important part. For each ticket type:
- Name – Example: "General Admission", "VIP"
- Quantity – How many are available
- Price – The ticket cost
- Service fee – Your additional margin (optional)
Tip: The final price buyers see = Ticket price + Service fee. You decide how to split it.
Step 5: Preview and publish
Review how your event looks on desktop and mobile, then choose:
- Publish – Goes live immediately
- Publish as hidden – Only accessible via direct link
You're done! 🎉
Your event now has:
- A public URL to share
- A sales page where people buy tickets
- A management panel to track sales
