Test your event

Rehearse one booking and one check-in yourself before you promote the event.

The rehearsal runs on the published event, so do it before any poster or email goes out.

Before you begin: publish the event, copy its link, and set up the Event Host App.

ConfirmationCheck the inbox and the spam folder for Booking Confirmation, and open the ticket's QR code.
