Use an address that starts
https://. Anybody who opens the event page goes there instead, and the event's calendar entries link there too. The go.tito.io address of the page keeps showing "page not found". -

To undo it, come back here and choose Public
A secret event has a Secret label beside its name on its own overview and on your events list. Selecting the one on the overview opens Visibility in a panel over the overview, so you can change it without leaving the page.
Good to know
Nothing about the tickets changes, and whatever was on sale stays on sale. What goes away is the advertising. The event comes off your public event list, off its series page, and off the event list on your own site if you've built one. Anybody else opening the event's own page gets "page not found", or goes to the website you choose above.
Audience pages, portal links, invitations, and the order and ticket links already in people's inboxes all carry on working exactly as before. Somebody who booked through an audience page goes back to that page from their order.
- To keep the event off your lists and leave its own page open to anyone with the link, choose Unlisted instead. See Unlist an event.
- To look at the page yourself, use View event page. It opens for you, with a line across the top saying that only you can see it. Your own access lasts about an hour. After that you get "page not found" too, and using the button again gives you another hour.
