- Double click on the Purchase Live Event Ticket goal

- Double click the second Date timer and set for a date one day before the event; click Save.

- Click Back to Campaign in the upper left of the page.
Publish the Campaign
All items on this campaign by now should look light green/greyed out (like the Purchase Live Event Ticket goal). This means we can safely Publish.
