For Recurring Event Hosts
The ticketing platform for recurring events.A series, not a launch.
A ticketing platform for recurring events has to do more than sell the next date. A recurring event compounds, same audience returns, memberships carry value, attribution shows what works, partners deepen relationships. The tooling has to compound with the series. Most platforms treat each event as a one-off launch.
A recurring event is an event series that repeats on a defined cadence (weekly, monthly, quarterly) with the same host, similar format, and an audience that compounds across cycles. SocialLoop is purpose-built for recurring events: Set up as recurring to schedule every date from the first, paid community memberships, events listed only inside your community for its members, form answers that pre-fill for returning guests, source attribution that compounds across events, AI-drafted email campaigns, automated affiliate / community-partner payouts via Stripe Connect, and analytics summarizing what is working across the series.
Why recurring is different
A one-off event is a launch. Get attention, fill seats, ship, archive. Most event platforms are built for this shape, every event starts from zero, ends at zero, repeats from scratch.
A recurring event is a relationship. The same audience returns event after event. Members compound. Sponsors recommit. Community partners renew. The relationship is the asset.
SocialLoop is built around the recurring shape. Cross-event guest carryover keeps the relationship visible. Memberships carry across events. Form pre-fill saves repeat attendees the friction. Source attribution shows which channels deepen the audience over time, not just for the next event.
What you get on SocialLoop
Cross-event guest carryover
Returning attendees show up as known guests across your series. Their applications, member status, and engagement history are visible event-over-event.
Form answers that pre-fill
When a signed-in guest answers a standard question, such as dietary needs or phone number, SocialLoop saves the answer to their profile and fills it in on the next form, at any event. They review it and submit.
Paid memberships
Monthly or yearly members join a community with dues, and an event can be listed only inside your community for its members.
AI-drafted campaigns
Describe what you want to say and AI drafts the email, or a short email sequence, plus push notifications in your event's voice, and writes social captions for sharing. You edit everything before it goes out.
Source attribution that compounds
See which channels brought which attendees, event-over-event. The lifetime acquisition curve becomes visible, not just per-event metrics.
Community-partner program with automated payouts
Partners distribute multiple events in the series for ongoing commission. Single Stripe Connect setup; automated payouts every event.
The pains we built this for
Audience starting from zero every event
On most platforms each event is a fresh launch. Cross-event guest carryover keeps the relationship state visible, you see who's a 3rd-timer vs a first-timer.
Regulars who belong somewhere
Your loyal regulars shouldn't scramble for the public form. A paid membership, events listed only inside your community for its members, or a hidden tier with a code gives them their own way in.
Re-filling the same form every event
Recurring attendees rage-quit when they have to re-enter dietary restrictions and phone numbers each time. Answers to standard questions pre-fill for signed-in guests, so they review instead of retyping.
Reconciling affiliate commissions every event manually
Tracking which partner drove which sale across 12 events a year is the kind of work that breaks Google Sheets. Automated Stripe payouts ship as the default.
Questions hosts ask before choosing a platform for a series
Short, direct answers to what hosts search when they move a recurring event. Where another platform is the better fit, we say so.
What should I use to run a recurring community event?
We recommend SocialLoop when you want the recurring dates, tickets, guest operations and continuing community together. Choose the plan for your sending allowances and communication needs. Event creation is unlimited. Membership does not automatically include an event seat. Test the admission separately.
How do I sell tickets for a recurring event online?
Publish each date with its own capacity, tickets and guest list. Give permitted returning guests the next registration link, and explain any early-access code or member price. SocialLoop supports tickets per date; a pass that redeems multiple dates is a separate, unverified requirement.
How do I set up recurring events?
Create the first date and its ticket tiers, then use Set up as recurring on the event Overview. Review the cadence and generated dates, including the venue timezone. Each date has its own tickets and guest list. Check the generated dates and your sending allowance before publishing the schedule; event creation is unlimited.
What would a $40 SocialLoop ticket cost with fees absorbed?
For one $40 US-card order, the shared model calculates $3.66 in ticket fees and $36.34 before subscription and event costs. Multiple tickets in an order change processing. Passing fees changes the buyer total. Use the calculator for the actual order mix; this is not a lowest-fee claim.

Common questions
What counts as a "recurring event"?
Any event that repeats on a cadence, monthly, quarterly, weekly, seasonally. Tech meetups, founder breakfasts, supper clubs, run clubs, member dinners, conferences in their multi-year cadence, retreats. The shape is recurring, not one-off.
Do I have to set up the series upfront?
No, but you can. Create the first event, then open its Overview and choose Set up as recurring to repeat it every day, week, two weeks or month, for a set number of times or until a date; each date is its own event with its own tickets and guest list. Manage series adds dates, edits the template, changes the frequency, pauses or ends it. Series are set up on the web; the iOS app shows them but does not create one yet. Or create each date by hand when your rhythm is irregular.
How does form pre-fill work for returning guests?
When a signed-in guest answers a standard question, such as name, email, phone or dietary needs, SocialLoop saves it to their own profile. On their next form, at any event, those answers are filled in for them to review and submit; a guest re-registering for the same event sees their previous answers.
How does membership work for a recurring series?
Run the series from a community with one or more membership tiers, billed monthly or yearly. An event can be listed only inside your community for its members, and a hidden ticket tier unlocked with a code can hold seats for them on a public event. Membership carries across every event in the community.
Can I see returning attendees vs new attendees?
Yes. Source attribution and guest history make this visible. You see, per event, who's been to your series before vs first-timers. The lifetime curve of your audience emerges over time.
