Recurring Event Series
An event series lets you run a weekly comedy night, a monthly workshop or a season of shows without building each event by hand. You set up a template once, and Equaticket creates each date as its own event, with its own page, tickets, orders and check-in.
Publishing a series requires a paid plan. On the Free plan you can create a series and preview its dates, and the series page shows Upgrade to publish until you upgrade.
Create a series
- Go to Dashboard > Event Series and click Create Series.
- Enter the Series Name and URL Slug.
- Choose a recurrence pattern (see below) and the Event start time.
- Choose a Generation horizon, which sets how far ahead dates are created. The default is 12 weeks, and you can choose anything from 4 to 52 weeks.
- Fill in the Event Template: title template, timezone, duration, capacity, venue, contact email, cover image and ticket types. Every date starts with these details.
- Click Create Series.
Equaticket creates the dates inside your horizon straight away, as drafts. As time passes, new dates are added automatically to keep the horizon filled.
Recurrence patterns
- Weekly: on the day or days of the week you pick.
- Bi-weekly: every other week, on the days you pick.
- Monthly (by date): on the same day of the month (1 to 28).
- Monthly (by weekday): for example, the first Friday of every month.
- Custom dates: a list of dates you enter yourself, for irregular schedules.
Put the date in the title
Add {{date}} to the title template and each event's title gets its own date, written like "April 15, 2026" in the series timezone. For example, Tuesday Night Comedy: {{date}} creates "Tuesday Night Comedy: April 15, 2026", "Tuesday Night Comedy: April 22, 2026", and so on. Without {{date}}, every event has the same title.
Publish your dates
- Several at once: in the Instances tab, tick the draft dates you want (or click Select all draft), then click Publish Selected. You can publish up to 50 at a time.
- One at a time: click a date to open it, review it, and publish it like any other event.
Change the template
Click Edit Template and save your changes. When you return to the series page, click Propagate to future events in the prompt (or Propagate Template at any time).
Propagation updates future draft dates only. Published dates are never changed by the template, so edit those one by one. A field you have already changed on a specific date is also left alone. For example, if you gave the May date its own description, propagating a new template description updates every other future draft but keeps May's.
Edit or cancel a single date
Open the date from the series page and edit or cancel it like any other event. Other dates are not affected. To charge a different price on one date, edit that date's ticket types. As with any event, a ticket price cannot be changed once that ticket type has sales.
Share your series
Each date has its own public event page and its own Embed tab for your website.
The series also has a landing page at equaticket.com/series/your-slug that lists its upcoming published dates. Open it from View landing page on the series page. Dates you have set to unlisted do not appear there.
Stop or delete a series
- Deactivate (under Danger Zone) stops new dates from being created. Existing dates stay on sale.
- Delete series removes the series and its draft dates. Any date that is published, paused, completed or cancelled is kept as a standalone event, with its tickets and orders intact. Only owners and admins can delete a series.
