# Creating an Event
Before you can create and issue tickets, you must first create a corresponding event.

Event creators are limited to creating 2 events. If you’d like to create more than 2 events, please contact us via [email.](mailto:support@moongate.id)

2. **Add basic information for your event**
Enter the name of your event, starting & ending dates/times, address, etc.
{% hint style="warning" %}
