Tip: You don't have to cancel your event if you're just changing the event's date. Instead, you can simply change the date in Step 4 on the Edit page of your event. After you've changed the date, you'll want to let your guests know! Click here for instructions on how to email your attendees.

1

If your event is free, you can click Cancel--found on the upper right of the Manage page of your event--at any time. This will cancel your event and no one will be able to view the event page. Keep in mind that before you cancel your event, you'll want to let your guests know so they're not confused.

 

You can easily email your attendees from within your Eventbrite account to let them know that you'll be issuing refunds and then canceling the event. Click here for instructions on how to email your attendees, but make sure to do so before you cancel your event.

If you've sold tickets to your event, you'll notice that the Cancel button doesn't appear. In order to cancel and unpublish your event, you'll want to refund all of your attendees first. For instructions on refunding your guests, click here.

Once you've refunded your attendees, you're ready to cancel and unpublish your event. Just click on the Cancel button, found in the upper right area of the Manage page for your event, and voila! It's now hidden from attendees and anyone looking to register.

If you'd like to delete your event page after refunding all orders and canceling the event, click Delete in the upper right of your event's Manage page.

Note

Note: The steps above also apply if you'd like to unpublish or cancel your event when you're using PayPal or Google Checkout as your event's payment processor. Click here to learn how to refund your attendees.
