QRTick: Event Setup Checklist
⚡ Quick Start
In QRTick, all events are organized as a "Series" with one or more "Performances". A single event is simply a series with one performance.
1. Series Setup Checklist
A "Series" is the overall event container (e.g., "Summer Concert Series" or "Annual Charity Gala"). For a one-time event, you'll create a series with just one performance.
- Series Name: Create a clear, descriptive title for your overall event
- Series Description: Write a compelling description that explains your event's purpose, theme, and general information that applies to all performances
- Banner Image: Prepare a banner with 1.2:1 ratio (e.g., 600 × 500 pixels) showing event name and date range
- Host Details: Include organization name and contact information
- Series Type: Decide if this is a multi-performance series or a single event
2. Performance Setup Checklist
"Performances" are individual occurrences within a series, each with its own date, time, and potentially unique details. A one-day event has just one performance.
- Date and Time: Set the exact date and start time for each performance
- Venue Details: Specify location, address, and any access instructions
- Performance Description (Optional): Add unique details specific to this date/time only
- Special Instructions: Note any performance-specific requirements (e.g., "Doors open 30 minutes early")
- Capacity: Set the maximum number of attendees (if applicable)
3. Ticket Setup Checklist
Decide whether your event needs a single ticket type ("General Admission") or multiple types (Early Bird, VIP, etc.).
- Ticket Type Names: Create clear, descriptive names for each ticket type (e.g., "General Admission", "VIP", "Early Bird")
- Ticket Descriptions: Explain what each ticket type includes and any special benefits
- Base Pricing: Set standard prices for each ticket type
- Performance-Specific Pricing: Decide if any performances need special pricing (e.g., higher prices for weekend shows)
- Availability Dates: Set when each ticket type goes on sale and when sales end
- Quantity Limits: Decide if any ticket types have limited availability
4. Banner Requirements
- Required Ratio: 1.2:1 (width:height), such as 600 × 500 pixels
- Content: Include event name and dates only - keep it simple and focused
- Design: Use clear, readable text with your event's brand colors or theme. Remember that other information will be displayed on the event listing, so avoid cluttering the banner design
- File Format: JPG or PNG format, optimized for web
Example Banner:

Notice how this banner includes just the essential information while maintaining visual appeal.
5. Pricing Examples
Sample pricing structure for a concert series with multiple performances:
Ticket Type | Base Price | Friday Night | Saturday Night |
---|---|---|---|
Early Bird | $4,000 | $4,000 | $4,000 |
General Admission | $5,000 | $5,000 | $5,500 |
VIP | $7,500 | $7,500 | $8,000 |
- Consider your costs, target audience, and event value
- Research comparable events in your area
- Account for QRTick processing fees in your pricing
- Consider offering early bird discounts to drive early sales
Final Review Checklist
- Verify all series information is complete and accurate
