What you get

  • Secret venue: the address stays hidden from everyone until you reveal it

  • The city still shows, so fans know where they will travel

  • Publish with the date to be announced and set it later

  • Tickets sell while the venue or date is still under wraps

  • Reveal by editing the event; ticket holders and followers get the update

What is Secret location & dates to be announced?

Secret location and dates to be announced let organizers and promoters publish an event before every detail is fixed. With Secret venue you enter the real address so the map is ready, but the page shows "Secret location — revealed closer to the event" to everyone, buyers included, while the city still shows so fans know where to travel. If the venue is not booked yet, publish with the venue to be announced instead and the page says "Location to be announced". Date to be announced works the same way: the event goes live without a date, the page shows "Date to be announced", and the event's time zone is kept for when you set it. Tickets sell the whole time. When you are ready, edit the event and reveal the venue or the date; fans who follow you or hold a ticket get the update, and you can send an Event update by email or text to everyone who bought. Nothing is duplicated or re-published: it is the same event, the same link, the same tickets.

How it works

  1. 1

    Create the event

    Enter the name, tickets and cover as usual; add the venue if you know it.

  2. 2

    Hide what is not ready

    Turn on Secret venue, Venue to be announced or Date to be announced before publishing.

  3. 3

    Sell in the meantime

    The page shows the city and the placeholder; tickets sell the whole time.

  4. 4

    Reveal by editing

    Switch the toggle off or set the date; followers and ticket holders get the update.

Questions organizers ask

How do I hide the venue of my event until later?

Set the venue as usual, then turn on Secret venue in the event editor. The page shows "Secret location — revealed closer to the event" with the city, and nobody, buyers included, sees the address until you turn it off.

Can I sell tickets for an event with no date yet?

Yes. Turn on Date to be announced, publish, and the page shows "Date to be announced" in place of the date while tickets sell. Set the date later by editing the event; the time zone you chose is kept.

What do fans see for a secret location?

The event page shows the city and "Secret location — revealed closer to the event" where the venue block normally is. The event card shows the city too, so fans know where to travel.

How do I reveal the location or the date?

Edit the event, switch off Secret venue or enter the date, and save. The page updates right away, fans who follow you or hold a ticket get the update, and you can also send an Event update by email or text to every ticket holder.

Is the secret address really hidden from ticket holders too?

Yes. Secret venue hides the address from everyone, including people who already bought, until you reveal it. Enter it anyway when you create the event so the map is ready the moment you flip the switch.

What is the difference between Secret venue and Venue to be announced?

Secret venue means you know the address and are hiding it on purpose; the page says "Secret location — revealed closer to the event". Venue to be announced means there is no venue yet; the page says "Location to be announced" and you add one later.
