(Release Date: October 28, 2025)
Bug Fix
Event Registration: If an Event has hidden Tickets or Tickets with the Sales End Date in the past, registrants will be able to view the Event webpage. Previously, those users received the “Warning: You do not have access to this event. Please contact the event organizer for more information” error. With the fix, the error only occurs when visibility rules are attached to the Event/Event Item. (Known Issue: 000005080)
