Activating Event Tickets

Before you can start accepting entries for an event, at least one ticket must be active. In Eventrac, you can either activate tickets immediately or schedule them to open automatically at a specific date and time.

Activate Tickets Immediately

Activating tickets immediately should only be done once you are confident that all event details (such as pricing, dates, and distances) are accurate and final.

To activate a ticket immediately:

  1. Navigate to Event → Setup → Races

  2. On the Race Tickets page, locate the ticket you want to activate

  3. If the ticket is inactive or closed, click the green Activate Now button

Once activated, entries for that ticket will be open straight away.


Set a Launch Date and Time

If you’d prefer tickets to open automatically at a scheduled time, you can set an opening date and time within the ticket settings.

To schedule a ticket launch:

  1. Go to Event → Setup → Races

  2. Select Edit on the relevant race

  3. Open the Ticketing section

  4. Scroll to the Open Online Entries field

  5. Choose your preferred launch date and time

  6. Click Save to apply your changes

This allows entries to open automatically without manual intervention.


💡 Tip

You can override a scheduled opening at any time by clicking Activate Now from the Race Tickets page.

If you manually close a ticket, you’ll need to set a new opening date before it can be reopened automatically.
