This is our standard operating procedure for spinning up a new event quickly: instead of building from scratch, you copy an existing Eventbrite event and update the details. We use it to publish new Malloy masterclasses, and you can use the same process for your own recurring events. Follow the 35-step Scribe walkthrough below, which shows each click with screenshots.
The short version: duplicate a past event, update the title, date, time, description, and image, double-check the registration and pricing settings, then publish and share the link.
Before You Start
Have the event details ready before you open Eventbrite, so you are not hunting for them mid-setup. You want the new title, the date, the start and end time, the time zone, the description, and the event image in hand. Then pick the past event that most closely matches the one you are creating, since the closer the match, the fewer settings you have to change. Last, confirm you are working in the correct Eventbrite account and under the right organizer name, because a copied event keeps the original organizer unless you change it.
The Walkthrough
After You Publish
A copied event carries over the old settings, and that is exactly where mistakes hide. Before you share the link, check the things most likely to be wrong from the original: the date and time zone, the capacity, the ticket types, and the pricing. Then test the registration flow yourself in a private browser window so you see what an attendee sees, not what the organizer view shows. Only once a test registration goes through cleanly should you send the link out.
