Event Cancel or Delete Events with Tickets Sold

Cancel or Delete Event with Tickets Sold

Description: When an event needs to be removed from sale, you can either delete the event or cancel it.

A deleted event can be restored. A cancelled event cannot be restored.

Cancellations are best when a mass email needs to be sent to all orders in the event.
