If tickets are hidden or not on sale yet, you'll need to unhide tickets and change the sales end date before you can unpublish your event.

Unpublishing an event changes the status back to “draft”. The event will not be removed from your account, and you can access the draft at any time under 'Drafts' in your Events workspace.

5. Optional: Delete your event.

If your event has multiple dates and times you can delete a single instance, or follow the steps below to delete all instances.

Follow steps 1-4 above to unpublish your event.
Go to your Events workspace.
Choose 'Drafts' from the 'Event status' drop down.
Select the three-dot menu next to the event you want to delete.
Select 'Delete'.

NOTE: If your event has completed orders that you don’t want to refund or cancel, you won’t be able to delete your event until it has been completed in your account for 120 days or more. Deleting an event removes the event and associated attendee information from your Eventbrite account. You can't undo this action.
