The short description is an opportunity to sell your event, with a brief overview to be shown at the top of your listing page. This will also act as an event preview where space is restricted, such as when your listing pulls through to one of our partner feeds.

To make the most use of this we’d recommend using your artists, genres, keywords - any additional information to help sell your event that may not be in the title.

It’s also worth noting that the short description is the first block of text on the page past the essential event information, which means that this is what will be returning search results. Our team have put extensive work into search engine optimization, take advantage of it!

When writing your short description, Between 100 - 150 characters is ideal, remember only lower case text will pull through correctly to our partner feeds, so be sure not to use block capitals, this may result in your listing being flagged.
