Who can open Events

Drawer and rail Events are available to verified adults and verified independent minors. Supervised and restricted profiles typically do not see Events. Creating an event also needs posting access (Create → Event).

Find Events

• Drawer or rail → Events
• Create → Event
• Explore or Search → tab Events
• Community or Organization (when joined) → More → Events
• Planner - calendar of events you are attending, plus Create Event

Admission & Ticket Sales

In-person events in Looma can be configured with one of three admission models:

• Free Admission: Standard free gathering. Attendees simply tap RSVP to register.
• Pay at Door: Admission is charged in cash or at the venue entrance (e.g. $10 General, $5 Student). Attendees RSVP to reserve admission, and host does not need a connected Stripe account.
• Sell on Looma (In-App Ticketing): Digital tickets sold directly in the app through Stripe. Attendees purchase tickets using their credit/debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, and receive secure in-app QR code tickets.

Buying tickets as an attendee

1. Open an event that displays ticket pricing (e.g. From $15.00).
2. Tap Get Tickets to open the ticket selection sheet.
3. Choose your preferred Ticket Tier (such as General Admission, Early Bird, or VIP) and select the quantity.
4. Complete checkout securely via Stripe. Upon confirmation, your tickets are generated instantly.

Viewing your tickets (My Tickets)

You can view your purchased tickets in two ways:

• Tap View My Tickets directly from the event detail page.
• Open My Tickets from the main app navigation or profile menu.

Event Check-In & Ticket Scanning

Event hosts, community leaders, and door staff can validate attendees quickly at the entrance without needing external barcode hardware:

1. Open the event you manage in the Looma app.
2. Tap the top-right menu (three dots) and select Scan Tickets.
3. Allow camera access to launch the high-speed ticket scanner.
4. Point your phone camera at the attendee's ticket QR code on their screen.

The scanner provides immediate feedback:

• Success (Green): Ticket verified! Displays attendee name, ticket tier (e.g. VIP), and marks the ticket as checked in.
• Already Checked In (Amber): Warns staff if a ticket was already scanned, preventing pass-back reuse.
• Invalid / Not Found (Red): Alerts staff if the code does not belong to this event.
• Manual Code Entry: If a screen is cracked or camera scan fails, staff can type the ticket code manually using the on-screen keyboard.

Organizers can also use Scan ID to verify a member's digital membership card when offering member-discounted admissions (see ID Cards).

RSVP, request, and access code

Primary actions on detail:

• RSVP opens Your RSVP with Going, Interested, and Not going (Decline this event)
• After you respond, the button can show your status: Going, Interested, Not going, Waitlisted, or Pending
• Private events without an RSVP yet: Request (success: Request sent)
• Code required: Enter access code with field Code (hint: Enter the code provided by the Event), then Join

Snacks include You're attending, You're no longer attending, and RSVP updated.

Attendees

Sheet title: Attending • {count}. Empty: No one attending yet. Rows can show statuses such as Going, Interested, Not going, Waitlisted, Checked in, Confirmed, or Pending.

Create an Event

Create → Event (or Planner → Create Event). Four steps:

1. Create Event - cover image (Pick Album, No cover selected)
2. Basics & Mode - Title, Short description (optional), Details (optional), Online event, Join URL or Location / Venue (optional)
3. Schedule, Admission & Ticketing -
   • Date & Time, All day toggle, Status (Published / Draft).
   • Admission Mode:
     • Free Admission: Standard gathering.
     • Pay at Door: Specify entrance fees (e.g. $10 General) payable at the door. No Stripe account required.
     • Sell on Looma: In-app digital tickets paid via Stripe. Requires the hosting Community, Organization, or Merchant to have completed Stripe Connect payout onboarding. (Note: Online events are always free; in-app ticketing is exclusively for in-person events).
   • Ticket Tiers: For paid events, add one or more tiers (e.g. General Admission, Early Bird, VIP). For each tier, specify the Tier Name, Price ($), and Capacity (Max tickets).
   • Access code (optional): Require a secret code to view or join private events.
4. Audience & Itinerary - Posted to / placements (Add), and optional Itinerary schedule items.

Nav: Back, Next, Post. Success: Event created. You need at least one placement. Online events need a Join URL; in-person events need a Location.

Create is also summarized in Creating & Sharing.

Event Deletion vs. Cancellation Protection

To protect attendees who have bought digital tickets:

• Events with zero ticket sales: Can be deleted normally by the owner from the event card or detail page (confirm Delete event?). This permanently removes the event and cover media.
• Events with active sold tickets: Cannot be deleted. If you attempt to delete an event that has sold tickets, Looma prompts you to Cancel Event instead. Cancelling stops all ticket sales immediately, notifies attendees, and preserves ticket passes and receipts in attendees' order history for accounting and record-keeping.

Organization and Community events

As a member, open the community or organization → More → Events. Owners see Add Event and card actions:

• Publish now / Unpublish
• Edit
• Delete (confirm Delete event?)

Owners can open View join requests / Requests on detail, then Approve or Decline (empty: No join requests).

Event owners can also use Scan ID on an event they own to verify a member’s digital ID card. Full ID card flow (present QR, Enable ID cards, merchant Eligible memberships): ID Cards.

See also Organizations and Communities & Networks. Community More → Events is for joined adults and independent minors.

Edit an Event

From an owner list, choose Edit. Update title, short info, start/end, all day, status, online vs in-person fields, price, details, cover, placements, and itinerary. Save with Save, or Discard (confirm Discard changes?). Success: Event saved.

Planner

Planner shows attending events by day (Your events, No events on this day) with chrome such as Today, Jump to today, and Create Event. It is a calendar view of Events, not a separate product from this hub.

Bookmarks note

You can bookmark an event from detail. Profile Bookmarks currently lists Moments, Discussions, and Listings only, so bookmarked events may not appear in that hub. See More.
