Using the ‘Expire by Date’ Field for Tickets, Add-Ons, and Donations

Written by Holly

Use Expire on a date when a ticket, add-on or donation should stop giving access after a specific date and time. This is useful for limited-time access, replay windows or perks that should end at a fixed deadline.


Set a fixed access expiry

  1. Go to Ticketing & Payments > Tickets, Add-ons & Donations.

  2. Open the Tickets, Add-ons or Donations tab, then create or manage the relevant item.

  3. Open Access. Under Access expiration, select Expire on a date.

  4. Enter the date and exact time when access should end.

  5. Under What access should expire?, choose whether the expiry applies to event content, media and/or perks, then save the item.

Access expiry is different from a sale window

Expire on a date controls access after the attendee has claimed or purchased the item. It does not control when the item can be bought. To schedule a ticket price's checkout availability, edit the price on Pricing and set its Availability to Date range. See Limited-Time Discount on Ticket Prices.


Existing purchases

HeySummit copies access settings onto a purchase when the item is claimed or bought. New purchases use later expiry changes, but existing purchases keep their copied settings unless you sync them. See Changing Permissions on a Ticket After It's Been Claimed. Access-expiry controls are part of Advanced Ticketing, so they may be disabled or unavailable when the current plan does not include that feature.
