Publishing an event: what happens and who is told
Publishing a free event makes it live immediately: it appears in the Events tab and on your profile, followers who opted in are notified, and the venue is placed on the map. Submitting an external listing puts it into review first; it appears once the team approves it, usually within a day. Share the event page or a branded story card straight after.

External listing

- 3You get a notification when it is Live, or a reason if Rejected so you can fix and resubmit.

Sharing after publishing
Open the event and tap Share. You can copy the link, share to WhatsApp, Messages and other apps, or post a branded 9:16 story card to Instagram Stories. External and Word of Mouth links are worded so they never promise tickets on TiketCaribbean. Your organiser profile link (tiketcaribbean.com/organisers/your-slug) is shareable too.
Where is my free event on the website?
During the beta, event pages for free events hosted on TiketCaribbean open in the mobile app. Website visitors who follow the link are sent to Browse Events. External listings have full pages on both.
