Two parts of a live event tell people how to get in: ticketing, and the entry restriction.
Ticketing
Mark an event as ticketed and set:
- Ticket price
- Ticket URL — where people actually buy
On the public event page this becomes a Get Tickets button. If there's a price it shows as Starting from that amount. A free event shows FREE.
Tickets are sold elsewhere
This is the important bit. DJfindr doesn't sell tickets or take the money — your ticket link points at whatever you're using, and the transaction happens there.
So:
- Test the link before publishing. A broken ticket link on a busy event page costs real attendance
- Keep the price accurate. If your ticket platform has tiers, the price here should be the entry-level one, since it displays as "Starting from"
- Refunds and questions go to your ticket platform, not to DJfindr
Free events
Leave it unticketed and it shows as FREE. Right for a bar residency or anything with door entry.
If entry is free but there's a guest list, use the entry restriction and explain the process in the description.
Entry restrictions
Six options:
| Setting | What it tells people |
|---|---|
| None | No stated restriction |
| All Ages | Everyone welcome |
| Ages 18+ | Over-18s only |
| Ages 21+ | Over-21s only |
| Private / Invite Only | Not open to the public |
| Other | Something else — explain it in the description |
Setting it properly
Age restrictions are usually the venue's rule rather than yours, so check rather than guess. Someone travelling to a night they can't get into remembers it.
All Ages is worth setting explicitly for family and community events — people assume a DJ night is over-18 unless told otherwise, and saying so brings people who'd otherwise not consider it.
Private / Invite Only pairs naturally with unlisted visibility. See Public vs Unlisted Live Events.
Other needs the description to do the work. Use it for anything conditional — members only, ticket holders from another event, industry guest list.
Put the detail in the description
The restriction is a label. Anything with a process behind it — how to get on the guest list, what ID is accepted, whether there's a dress code — belongs in the description where people will read it.
