1. Change Visibility to “Community Only”

If your event was public, change its visibility to “Community Only” to prevent new external attendees from joining.

  • Select “Community Only”.

2. Archive All Tickets

Click the three-dot menu (⋯) in the top right corner of the event and select “Edit”.

  • Click the three-dot menu next to each active ticket.

  • Select “Archive” to disable further ticket sales.

4. Update the Event Title

  • Add a clear note to the event title such as “(Canceled)” so attendees see immediately that the event is no longer taking place.

5. Save Changes

  • Click “Confirm” at the bottom to save all updates.

6. Create a Post to Inform Attendees

Let your attendees know about the cancellation:

  • Go to the “Posts” section of the event.

  • Create a new post, for example:

    This event has been canceled. We will refund all purchased tickets.

7. Refund All Tickets

To refund attendees:

  • Click the three-dot menu (⋯) in the top right corner of the event and select “Edit”.

  • Click "See Attendees"

  • Click the three-dot menu next to each attendee.

  • Click the “Refund” button.

By following these steps, your event will be clearly marked as canceled, attendees will be notified, and payments will be refunded accordingly.
