Step 1 - Get to know TicketCo

It is important to get to know the fundamentals of any new system. Please have a look at the below to make sure that you're ready to get started. 

How do I sign in to start creating my events? 

Once you've signed up to TicketCo and submitted all your details to us, you should receive a verification email. In this email you'll find a link to confirm your account and create a password. 

Please note that we do not recommend activating your account on a mobile device. Please your your laptop or desktop computer to confirm your account. If you do not receive this email or experience any issues with signing in please contact us here. 

To start using TicketCo all you need is a web browser. While we support most browsers, the latest versions of Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Microsoft Edge are recommended. Please note that Internet Explorer is not recommended, particularly as Microsoft no longer supports Explorer.

Once you have confirmed your account and created your password, simply go to ticketco.events, select your country and click the "Admin" button in the top right corner. 

What is TicketCo Admin and how does it work?

When we talk about TicketCo Admin, we are referring to the online tool you use to create your events. As mentioned above, all you need to do is log in to get started. 

It's worth mentioning that TicketCo is a cloud-based system. If you don't know what that means, you can think of all your events the same way you think of your Facebook events. Once you log in and create your events, you can access them from anywhere as long as you have a web browser. When you publish them they'll be live instantaneously and if you ever need to make any changes, all you have to do is log on and edit. 

Unfortunately, TicketCo Admin is not yet fully available on mobile devices. If you need to access TicketCo Admin from your phone or tablet, you'll have to request the desktop version of ticketco.events and access it in that way.
