Event categories

In this article, we are going to look at Event Categories which can be used to easily display the full range of your events. We can break down Events into broad, easily-defined categories, such as comedy, drama, or opera, etc. 

For customers who don't know what specific Event or Show they're looking for, having Event Categories is incredibly important. Event Categories allow customers to browse by category, so they can easily find - and book - Events they are interested in, and may be prompted to book even more events.
