Note: By default, your event will be marked as public, and so will be made available for listing on the major search engines and in the Eventbrite directory.

If you'd like to make your event private, go to Step 8: Set Privacy on the Edit page for your event, select This event is private and should not be listed in the directory or on search engines, and check out the options below, which are listed in order from most to least private.

Most private: invite-only private event page

Only those email addresses to which you send out email invitations using Eventbrite will be able to register for your event. The invitee's email address will be hard-coded in at registration and cannot be changed. Each invitation is good for one order, and cannot be used more than once. 

For more information on the invite-only feature and instructions on how to enable it, check out this tutorial.

Password-protected private event page

If you select this option, your attendees will be required to enter a password that you create in order view the event details and ticket information and then register for your event.

To enable this feature, go to Step 8: Set Privacy on your event's Edit page, select the option Require a password for people to view and register for your event, and input your password. Click Save Changes in the upper or lower right area of the page.

See below to see how a password-protected event page appears to someone visiting it.

Note: Don't forget to send your attendees the password, otherwise they won't be able to view your event details and register!
