How to Submit Your Event to PartyLine

A practical guide for organisers, promoters, venues and crews — what to include in a PartyLine event listing and why accurate submissions matter for discovery.

Submitting an event to PartyLine is how club nights, warehouse parties, showcases and community-led nights become easier to find — for fans browsing listings, for artists checking where they might play, and for crews building a visible presence across Australia’s underground scene.

A strong listing helps people understand what is happening, who is involved and whether the night fits them before they commit to a ticket or a trip across town. PartyLine is still growing, so clean, honest submissions help the whole network improve — not just your single event.

This guide is for organisers, promoters, venues and collectives preparing a submission. It does not replace your existing promo channels or ticketing setup. It explains what to gather, how to write useful copy, and what to expect during closed alpha.

Before you submit

Have the basics ready before you open the submission flow. Missing details are the most common reason listings feel incomplete or get delayed.

You will usually need:

  • Event name — clear and recognisable, not only an acronym insiders already know
  • Date and time — including doors, start time and approximate finish where relevant
  • Venue or location — venue name, address or area, and any entry instructions
  • City — Australia-wide discovery depends on accurate city tagging
  • Lineup — billed artists, DJs, live acts or TBA slots described honestly
  • Genres or vibe — tags and a sentence or two on the sound and room
  • Ticket or RSVP link — external URL where tickets are sold or RSVPs collected
  • Artwork or poster — a strong image if upload is supported
  • Organiser, venue and artist links — PartyLine profiles where they exist
  • Accessibility or safety/logistics notes — where relevant (age limits, accessibility, cashless bar, etc.)

If you are still confirming parts of the lineup or venue, say so — do not publish details you have not locked in.

Write clear event copy

A poster caption pasted into a description field is rarely enough. Flyers look great in feeds; listings need text people can scan on a phone.

Useful event copy usually includes:

  • The sound and vibe — genres, energy, room size, whether it is a sit-down listen or a peak-time dance
  • Who it is for — open decks night, hard dance heads, community fundraiser, label showcase, etc.
  • Practical details — dress code if any, ID policy, last entry, whether tickets are limited
  • Honest context — recurring series name, first edition, collaboration with another crew

Keep it direct. Underground audiences respect clarity more than hype. You do not need marketing fluff — you need enough information for someone unfamiliar with your brand to decide if they want to go.

Add lineup, venue and organiser context

Linked profiles are better where available. When an artist, venue or organiser has a public listing on PartyLine, connecting them makes the event easier to trust and share — people can click through to bios, past events and media.

Manual names are fine when profiles do not exist yet. Spell names consistently, note B2B sets clearly, and update the listing when lineups change.

Venue context helps people decide — club room vs warehouse, outdoor, multi-room, or a new space. Even a short note on capacity feel or setup can reduce confusion.

Organiser context builds trust. If you run a series or collective, link your organiser profile so repeat attendees know who is behind the night. New promoters benefit especially from showing track record where they have one.

See the organisers page for how PartyLine supports event submission and organiser profiles.

Use the correct ticket or RSVP link — the one that works on mobile, does not require a private invite, and matches the price you are advertising elsewhere.

Avoid broken, expired or members-only links unless the event is genuinely private and you explain that in the listing.

Ticketing can stay on your existing platforms. PartyLine is focused on discovery and connection — not replacing how you sell tickets. Many organisers use external links from Eventbrite, Moshtix, Humanitix, Dice, or their own checkout. That is expected.

PartyLine helps people find the night and route to the right place. You keep control of sales, refunds and door policy.

Artwork and media

Use clear event artwork — readable at thumbnail size, not a flyer that only makes sense at A3 on a wall.

Avoid unreadable flyers: tiny text, low contrast, or critical details buried in graphic design alone.

Upload a strong hero image if the submission flow supports it. The same poster you use on Instagram is often fine — as long as the listing text carries date, city, venue and ticket info too.

Keep key information in text, not only inside the poster image. Search, previews and accessibility all work better when details live in the description fields.

Opportunities and open calls

If you are still building the lineup — DJs wanted, open decks, warm-up acts, residents or collaborators — post an opportunity where supported, in addition to or instead of a vague “DM us” line.

Open calls on PartyLine help the right selectors find you. Link opportunities to the event where relevant so applicants understand the context.

Opportunity flows are still developing during alpha. See release notes for what is supported today.

What happens after submission

Workflows vary during closed alpha, so avoid assuming instant publication everywhere.

In general:

  • Your event may appear in the app and in public website previews where approved and supported
  • Some listings may be reviewed or refined before they surface broadly — especially while the platform is small and actively tested
  • Details you submit are the source of truth; update them if the lineup, time or ticket link changes
  • Not every submission feature is live in every workflow yet

Check release notes for current limitations on event submission, previews and dashboards. If something looks wrong after submitting, use the contact paths documented there or on the website rather than reposting duplicate listings.

PartyLine does not automatically approve every field, guarantee placement, or handle ticketing, payments, contracts or reviews on your behalf.

Common mistakes

These show up often and are easy to fix:

  • Missing city or date — breaks discovery filters and confuses travellers
  • Unclear location — “warehouse TBC” without a suburb or entry process
  • No ticket link when tickets are on sale — people abandon when they cannot act
  • Only poster text — no searchable description or vibe context
  • No genre or vibe context — hard to know if the night fits
  • Outdated links — sold-out pages, wrong event, or broken URLs
  • Overclaiming lineup or details before they are confirmed — erodes trust when the bill changes

Fix these before you submit, and revisit the listing when something material changes.

Final checklist

Before you publish or share:

  • Event name, date, time and city are correct
  • Venue or location is clear enough to plan a trip
  • Description explains sound, vibe and who the night is for
  • Lineup is accurate — or marked honestly as TBA / in progress
  • Ticket or RSVP link works on mobile
  • Artwork is readable; key info is also in text
  • Organiser, venue and artist profiles are linked where available
  • Opportunity posted if you still need DJs or open-deck applicants
  • Links and times checked again on the day of promo pushes

When you are ready, start from the organisers page for how PartyLine supports submissions and crew profiles. For a broader view of how accounts, events and dashboards fit together, see how it works — then submit your event through the app when your details are ready.
