Enable sales for this event date ?

If checked, the event date (and its tickets) won't be on sale anymore

Once you disable sales for an event date or an event ticket,
the carts will be automatically updated to prevent unwanted sales.
And the purchase will be canceled (the attendee will be notified by the change)

These dates are the dates that your event start and ends on.
The start date is a mandatory field.
