This guide covers everything you need to know about creating and managing event series, allowing users to register for multiple events at once.

What is an event series? 

An event series is a group of events that are linked together for easier registration, management, and tracking. When registering for one event in a series, attendees can register for multiple events at once.

Attendee can select ticket types and answer custom registration form questions for each event individually. If the events require payment, attendees can purchase all tickets in a single transaction and select ticket types for each event individually.

Known limitations:

  • Promo codes cannot be used when registering for events within a series.
  • Multiple ticket purchases, if enabled, are not available for events within a series.
  • When selling paid tickets, all events within a series should have the same currency.
  • If an event is added to multiple series, the registration widget will show the first series listed alphabetically.
