Publish your first event
Creating an event takes six steps. Here is what each one asks for, and the three things that catch people out at the end.
The six steps, in order
About your event
Title, description and media.The title, a description of at least ten characters, and a category. This is also where the cover image goes — JPG, PNG or WEBP. We compress it for you so the page loads quickly.
Cover required to publish
When & where
Date, time and location.The start time has to be in the future, and any end time after the start. For an event people attend in person you need all four location fields: venue, street address, city and country.
Visibility
Who can find your event.Access
House rules for joining.Whether you confirm each request to join, plus-ones, whether the guest list is visible, capacity and any age limit. All optional — the defaults are sensible if you would rather move on.
Entry
How people get in.Review & publish
One last look.Confirm the policies, then Publish event.
What it costs to publish
Nothing. There is no listing fee, no monthly minimum and no exclusivity — keep selling wherever you sell today. Glentio earns a percentage only when a ticket is sold through Glentio: nothing on a free reservation, and nothing on the bookings you take yourself. Lower rates come with the paid tiers, though publishing never requires one — the pricing page has the detail.
Three things that catch people out
All three surface at the very end, which is the worst moment to meet them.
A cover image is required to publish — but not to save
You can choose Save as draft at any point and come back later. The cover only blocks the final step, so a missing photo never costs you the work.
All four location fields, or publishing fails
Venue, street address, city and country. Filling three of the four is the single most common way to get stuck: publishing refuses at the last step, with an error about a field three screens back.
Paid tickets make the event public
Choosing paid sets visibility to Public automatically — it is the only setting that supports selling, since buyers have to be able to find the event.
If you arrived from a link we sent you
The form is already filled in — title, description, date, venue and address, drawn from your own listing. Your job is to check it and publish, not to type it out. Anything we got wrong is yours to change, and it stays private until you publish it.
