Campaigns vs Confirmed Events
12 June 2026
Understanding the difference between a campaign and a confirmed event is important because each stage operates differently.
Campaign
A campaign is the demand-validation stage of your event. During this period:
- Your gig is publicly visible.
- Supporters can reserve tickets.
- Progress is measured against your ticket goal.
- Supporters provide payment details, but they are not charged.
Event
Once your ticket goal is achieved, your campaign automatically becomes a confirmed event. Supporters are charged, tickets are issued, sales continue, and your focus shifts from validating demand to delivering the experience.
Tip
Knowing where your gig sits in this journey will help you make better decisions throughout the planning process.
Fund your next event before you commit
Open a crowdfunding page on Gigstarters and secure your production cash up front — supporters are only charged when your goal is met.
