Once you have completed the steps above, click on 'SAVE EVENT'. When you're satisfied with all the details, hit 'PUBLISH EVENT'. Don't forget to 'LAUNCH' your tickets as well, which you can also do at a later stage if necessary. Once your event is published, it will be visible on both the TROI platform at https://tickets.trommelmusic.com and the Shotgun platform at https://shotgun.live. Ensure that your event is properly listed on both sites.
