When I post a link from an event on facebook or linked in the excerpt is extremely ugly and does not make any sense. It says the title of the event then the price and then it lists out the amount of tickets. For instance if I have 15 tickets available the post will look like this:
Event Title
Event phone, Price Qty* Tickets show details + hide details – $25.00 (USD) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15…….
How do you make it pull just an excerpt from the event instead of listing out the available tickets like above it is a really strange way for it to appear (in my opinion).

Hi Ryan,
That happens due to the order of the event elements on the page. We are testing a drag and drop solution that will let you reorder the event elements from the WP dashboard.
There are some other workarounds available:
1) You could set the event description to appear first by adding this to your child theme’s functions.php file or a site specific plugin:

2) If you are using a plugin like WP SEO by Yoast, then you can set the excerpts to be used for the events custom post type. However, this requires that you use an excerpt per event. The option above may be a better solution until we have the drag and drop re-ordering available.

Hello again Ryan,
As of Event Espresso 4.8.21, there is a custom display re-order option available in the WordPress dashboard.
Backup your WordPress and update your software
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-back-up-your-site/
You can see the change log for Event Espresso 4 here:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/ee4-changelog/
Remove existing filters for adjusting the order
If you have used some of the suggested filters to adjust the order of your event elements, then you’ll want to first remove those from your website and they may have been added to your child theme’s functions.php file or a site specific plugin.
Set a custom order through the Templates screen
Afterwards, go to your WP dashboard (WP-admin) –> Event Espresso –> Events –> Templates. The Use Custom Display Order options in the Templates screen can be used to reorder the events elements on the single event page as well as the events listing page.
Again, be sure that any of the filters for adjusting the order have been removed from your site specific plugin or your child theme’s functions.php file before turning on the template reorder option. Otherwise, you may see duplicate content.
Thanks
