Events

Events on TribeNest is where you turn a show, a workshop, a meet-and-greet, or a virtual hang into a real ticketed experience. You design the event, build the ticket tiers, sell them, scan people in at the door, and pull the report afterwards, all from one place.

Everything lives under Events in your dashboard sidebar.

What you can do here

Create physical, virtual, or hybrid events with venue details, a cover image, and a rich description.
Set a venue capacity, a cancellation policy, and your own booking fee.
Build ticket tiers with scheduled on-sale times, hidden presale tiers behind an access code, and pay-what-you-want pricing where your price is the minimum.
Group a run of dates into an event series with its own public page, and let TribeNest generate a repeating schedule.
Capture demand after you sell out with a waitlist that offers freed-up seats automatically.
Send complimentary tickets, including going over capacity on purpose when you decide to.
Run check-in with a QR scanner, watch the room fill on the door dashboard, and sell on the night at the box office.
Postpone a show with every ticket still valid, or cancel it with everyone refunded and told.
Email every attendee, now or on a schedule, using a saved template.

How Events is organized

Creating an event

The date, the room, the capacity, your cancellation policy, and your booking fee.

Managing tickets

Tiers, presales, pay what you want, comps, and discount codes.

Event series

Group a tour or a residency under one name, with a public page fans can browse.

Emailing attendees

Write once, schedule it, personalise it, and check who received it.

The waitlist

Keep the fans who arrived too late, and offer them seats when some free up.

The door and box office

Scan people in, sell on the night, and give a door helper exactly what they need.

Ticket orders and takings

Every sale, what one show took, and what a buyer gets after they pay.

Cancelling and postponing

Move a date with tickets intact, or call it off with everyone refunded.

Free vs paid events

You do not have to charge for tickets. A free event still gives you a real ticket, a check-in flow, and a complete attendee list, which makes it a great way to fill seats for a launch party or a community meetup.

Paid events run through your connected payment account. Once you have connected one in your settings, you can set any price per ticket and TribeNest handles the checkout for your fans. See getting started for the connection walkthrough.

Set your payments up first

Before you sell paid tickets, connect a payment account in your account settings. Free events and complimentary tickets work without one.

A typical setup

Most organizers work in this order:

Create the event with the date, location (or "virtual"), cover image, capacity, and a clear description.
Add at least one ticket. Start with a single general-admission tier and add more later.
Add questions if you need anything from attendees, and turn on attendee names if the door list matters.
Share the event through your website, social posts, or your fan email list.
Email attendees the day before with directions, doors time, or a virtual link.
Run the door with the dashboard and the scanner, and take walk-ups at the box office.
Archive the event once it is wrapped so your active list stays clean.

Day-of tips

A few habits that make event day feel calm instead of chaotic:

Print your attendee list the morning of the show as a backup in case a device dies.
Test the scanner on your own phone before doors, on the actual device you will use.
Send a final "see you tonight" email an hour or two before, with the one critical detail at the top.
Give a second person door check-in access so nobody has to hand over a laptop.
Pre-load any comps you promised, so guests arrive to a real ticket in their inbox rather than a frantic name on a list.
