Will support be available until 31 March 2023?

New service packages can no longer be booked with immediate effect.

Until when can I re-book services?

Our product is fully available to you for events that are created and carried out until 31 March 2023. The booking of special services (e.g. Professional Service packages) is no longer possible with immediate effect. Already booked packages will be realised as agreed until 31 March 2023.

Can I create a new account in EventManager if I am not yet a customer?

As an existing customer, can I add new colleagues to take over the organisation of my events?

I have paid for services in advance and would like my money back.

In this case, please get in touch with your contact person in Sales.

How long can I view and download my invoices?

You can view and download all invoices until 15 April 2023. We recommend that you do this promptly for all events that have already been processed and file the invoices digitally. 

How can I back up participant data/contacts from past events?

You can download the data of your participants from the EventManager. Please note the provisions of the DSGVO regarding data storage and the requirements for further contact (double opt-in).

Can I migrate my participants to another ticketing provider? If yes, how?

You can download the data of your participants from EventManager. Please discuss the migration of the data with the respective new provider.

Are there any recommendations for alternative ticketing providers? Is there a provider who also does pre-event payouts?

The requirements vary greatly depending on the event and the target group; therefore, we will not make a specific recommendation. Once you have selected a provider, please use our help section on the website. There you will find extensive help on data export and other topics. If you still have questions, we will be happy to advise you.

Who informs the ticket buyers? How can I inform my participants?

Please inform your ticket buyers and registrants yourself. You can send an email to all registered participants of your events via the EventManager. Alternatively, you can download the data of your participants from the EventManager and send them an email via your own email tool.

What happens to outstanding ticket purchases and complaints (payment and invoice corrections) after 31 March 2023?

We will ensure that any outstanding issues are resolved beyond 31 March 2023.

I have already set up or made live events with event dates after 31 March 2023. Can I still process these events via the EventManager?

No, unfortunately this is no longer possible. Please look for a new provider to handle these events. For necessary steps such as data export etc., you will find assistance on our website in the help section. If you still have questions, our support team at events(at)xing-events.com will be happy to help you.
