# Create your first class or event

Creating an event at your venue

**For special occasions, one-off events or ticket sales, events are set up through the Matchable Manager with a customizable page.**

Log into your back-office: [https://manager.getmatchable.com/](https://manager.getmatchable.com/)

1\. Navigate in Manager to **Services** on the left and then select **Classes & events to** create your first event and click on **Create activity type.**

2\. Fill in the **Name** of the event and **Select sport category** e.g. padel and upload a nice **Banner image** and add a **Description** of the event, so that people will know what the event is about. Click on the green **Create** button to save the event.

All the information will be shown on the event page where the clients can buy the ticket. 

3\. Fill in all the details, from ticket prices to VAT, the number of participants that are allowed to buy tickets and the cancellation policy. Don't forget to add the location of the event venue if it differs from your own venue and **Save changes** once you're done.
