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](/hc/djs/articles/1786210713-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.
