Event series dates / Sub-events¶

Resource description¶

Events can represent whole event series if the has_subevents property of the event is active. In this case, many other resources are additionally connected to an event date (also called sub-event). The sub-event resource contains the following public fields:

Field	Type	Description
id	integer	Internal ID of the sub-event
name	multi-lingual string	The sub-event’s full name
event	string	The slug of the parent event
active	boolean	If `true`, the sub-event ticket shop is publicly available.
is_public	boolean	If `true`, the sub-event ticket shop is publicly shown in lists.
date_from	datetime	The sub-event’s start date
date_to	datetime	The sub-event’s end date (or `null`)
date_admission	datetime	The sub-event’s admission date (or `null`)
presale_start	datetime	The sub-date at which the ticket shop opens (or `null`)
presale_end	datetime	The sub-date at which the ticket shop closes (or `null`)
frontpage_text	multi-lingual string	The description of the event (or `null`)
location	multi-lingual string	The sub-event location (or `null`)
geo_lat	float	Latitude of the location (or `null`)
geo_lon	float	Longitude of the location (or `null`)
item_price_overrides	list of objects	List of items for which this sub-event overrides the default price or settings
├ item	integer	The internal item ID
├ disabled	boolean	If `true`, item should not be available for this sub-event
├ available_from	datetime	Start of availability (or `null`)
├ available_until	datetime	End of availability (or `null`)
└ price	money (string)	The price or `null` for the default price
variation_price_overrides	list of objects	List of variations for which this sub-event overrides the default price or settings
├ variation	integer	The internal variation ID
├ disabled	boolean	If `true`, variation should not be available for this sub-event
├ available_from	datetime	Start of availability (or `null`)
├ available_until	datetime	End of availability (or `null`)
└ price	money (string)	The price or `null` for the default price
meta_data	object	Values set for organizer-specific meta data parameters.
seating_plan	integer	If reserved seating is in use, the ID of a seating plan. Otherwise `null`.
seat_category_mapping	object	An object mapping categories of the seating plan (strings) to items in the event (integers or `null`).
last_modified	datetime	Last modification of this object

Changed in version 2023.8.0: For the organizer-wide endpoint, the search query parameter has been modified to filter sub-events by their parent events slug too.

    }
  ]
}

Query Parameters:

page – The page number in case of a multi-page result set, default is 1
is_public – If set to true/false, only subevents with a matching value of is_public are returned.
active – If set to true/false, only events with a matching value of active are returned.
is_future – If set to true (false), only events that happen currently or in the future are (not) returned.
is_past – If set to true (false), only events that are over are (not) returned.
date_from_after – If set to a date and time, only events that start at or after the given time are returned.
date_from_before – If set to a date and time, only events that start at or before the given time are returned.
date_to_after – If set to a date and time, only events that have an end date and end at or after the given time are returned.
date_to_before – If set to a date and time, only events that have an end date and end at or before the given time are returned.
ends_after – If set to a date and time, only events that happen during of after the given time are returned.
search – Only return events matching a given search query.
modified_since (datetime) – Only return objects that have changed since the given date. Be careful: This does not allow you to know if a subevent was deleted.
attr[meta_data_key] (array) – By providing the key and value of a meta data attribute, the list of sub-events will only contain the sub-events matching the set criteria. Providing ?attr[Format]=Seminar would return only those sub-events having set their Format meta data to Seminar, ?attr[Format]= only those, that have no value set. Please note that this filter will respect default values set on organizer or event level.
with_availability_for – If set to a sales channel identifier, the response will contain a special best_availability_state attribute with values of 100 for “tickets available”, values less than 100 for “tickets sold out or reserved”, and null for “status unknown”. These values might be served from a cache. This parameter can make the response slow.

Parameters:

organizer – The slug field of a valid organizer
event – The slug field of the main event

Status Codes:

200 OK – no error
401 Unauthorized – Authentication failure
403 Forbidden – The requested organizer does not exist or you have no permission to view it.
