[Ticket Fairy](https://www.ticketfairy.com/) 2. [Guides](https://www.ticketfairy.com/guides) 3. Duplicate an event Setting up an event # Duplicate an event Nightclub operators and touring promoters run the same night again and again, and the ticket types, buyer questions and settings rarely change between dates. You copy an event you have already run into a new draft, enter the new name, web address and dates, choose which extra parts come with it, and publish the draft when it is ready. Start your next date with the ticket types, event settings and optional features you already use, then enter the new name, web address and dates before it goes on sale. For: Preparing another date from an existing event Takes: 8 minutes - [Open the event you want to use](#step-1) - [Enter the new event details](#step-2) - [Choose what to copy](#step-3) - [Create the draft](#step-4) ## Before you start - You're a brand owner or admin. - You know which existing event has the setup you want to reuse. - You know the new event name, URL, start time and end time. - You have decided whether you want the same team, credentials, pre-registration, promotions, email templates, contacts, FAQs, ticket delegations and custom fields on the new event. 1. ## Open the event you want to use Open **Events**, open the menu on the event you want to use, then choose **Duplicate Event**. The event picker at the top of the dialog shows which event will be copied, so change the event in that picker if you selected the wrong one. **Note:** Choose an event whose ticket releases, buyer questions and settings are close to what the new date needs. You can change them on the new draft without changing the original event. ![Ticket Fairy Duplicate Event dialog with the source event and new event details](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-nightclub-operations--duplicate-night.png) Events, Duplicate Event. 2. ## Enter the new event details Enter the new **Event Name**, **Short Name**, start and end dates, and **Event web address**. The dates are when doors open and the event finishes, in the venue's time zone. **Note:** The new web address must be unique. Give the event its final address now so the link you later share does not need to change. 3. ## Choose what to copy Ticket Fairy always copies the event details, venue details, descriptions and media, event settings, ticket settings, ticket types, sales tracking and advanced options. Select each additional part you want to carry over: team, credentials, pre-registration, promotions, promoter promotions, email templates, team invitations, contacts, FAQs, ticket delegations and custom fields. **Note:** Ticket types are included by default; when the source event uses time slots, you can clear **Ticket Types** to start without them. Select **Team Invitations** only when you want Ticket Fairy to invite those people to the new event. 4. ## Create the draft Select **Duplicate**. Ticket Fairy creates a separate draft, leaves the original event unchanged and opens the new event so you can continue setting it up. **Note:** The new event is not public yet. This gives you time to check its tickets and event page before buyers can see it. ## Try these steps on your own event Create a free account, build your event and follow the steps above in your own dashboard.

No credit card required. ## Prepare the copied event before it goes on sale Review ticket names, prices, allocations, sale windows, entry times, last entry, venue, event description, refund policy and buyer questions, plus every promotion and message that mentions a date. This is also the moment to remove any team member, credential or code that should not carry over. **Note:** A copied ticket type starts with the allocation from the source setup, not the number of tickets left at the old event. Set the allocation for the new venue and date before publishing. Fai can inspect the copied draft, compare its tickets and settings with the new date, and update the fields you approve. MCP and the CLI can inspect and update individual parts, but neither provides one complete copied-event review. ### In your dashboard, with Fai Review the copied draft \ before it goes on sale. Show me its dates, venue, tickets, allocations, sale windows, entry times, promotions, messages, team and buyer questions, and flag anything that still names the source event or its date ### From your own assistant, over MCP The copied MCP configuration includes `--read-only`. Remove `--read-only` only when you want your assistant to make changes. Routine changes run when requested; destructive actions ask you in a compatible client. If your client cannot ask, make the change in your dashboard. Open the copied draft \ and show me its event details and ticket types so I can check the new date before publishing ## Publish the new event Open **Publish** after the draft is ready, check the public event page, choose whether to send promoter links, then publish now or schedule when it goes live. **Note:** Publishing is separate from duplication, so creating the draft never puts the new date on sale. Fai, MCP and the CLI can publish the copied draft after showing you the event you selected. Scheduling a future publish time is available in the dashboard and through Fai. ### In your dashboard, with Fai Show me the copied draft \, its public event page and ticket sale windows.

Changes you make to that draft do not change the source event. Does the new event go on sale immediately?: No. The duplicate stays in draft until you publish it. Are old orders copied?: No. Orders, attendees, check-ins and sales totals belong to the original event. The new event starts without orders. Can I duplicate an event imported from DET?: No. Create a new event instead and use the imported event as a reference for the details you need. Should I copy the event team?: Copy the team when the same people will work on the new date. Leave it out when the lineup, promoter or venue team will change, then invite the people who need access. ## Still have a question? Book a demo and we will answer it on a call, on your kind of event.
