Sub-events allow you to break a main event into multiple child events. This is ideal for festivals, multi-room nights, or events with separate areas or stages — each with its own lineup, tiers, and booking availability.

Example use cases

  • Festival — Main event “Summer Festival” with sub-events for Stage A, Stage B, and the VIP Terrace.
  • Multi-room club night — Main event “Saturday Night” with sub-events for Room 1 (House) and Room 2 (Hip-Hop).
  • Venue takeover — Main event with sub-events for different areas or time slots.

How sub-events work

  • The main (parent) event is what customers see on the event listing.
  • Each sub-event has its own name, description, date/time, and booking tiers.
  • Customers browse the main event, then select a sub-event to book into.
  • Availability is tracked independently per sub-event.
Important: A main event can have either sub-events OR direct booking tiers — not both. If you add sub-events, the booking tiers belong to the sub-events, not the parent.

Setting up sub-events

  1. Open the main event in the admin panel.
  2. Scroll to the Sub-Events section and click Add Sub-Event.
  3. Fill in the sub-event details:
    • Name (e.g., “Stage A”, “VIP Terrace”)
    • Date and time
    • Description
  4. Add booking tiers to the sub-event (these are the ticket types / reservation options for that specific area or stage).
  5. Repeat for each sub-event.
  6. Save and publish the main event.

Can sub-events be recurring?

Yes. Sub-events can have their own recurrence schedule, or they can inherit the recurrence from the parent event. For example, a recurring Saturday night event can have sub-events for Room 1 and Room 2, with each occurrence generating individual dates for both rooms.

How do I manage bookings for sub-events?

In the Events & Bookings section:
  1. Select the main event from the event dropdown.
  2. A second Sub-Event dropdown appears — select the specific sub-event you want to view.
  3. You’ll see bookings for that sub-event only.
You can also filter by occurrence if the sub-event is recurring.

How do customers book sub-events?

  1. The customer opens the main event page.
  2. They see the list of sub-events (e.g., Stage A, Stage B).
  3. They tap the sub-event they want to attend.
  4. They select their booking tier and proceed to payment.
Customers can book multiple sub-events within the same parent event (separate bookings).
