Coming Soon: Series Passes

Note: This feature is now available as of Events Calendar Pro 6.3.0!

We know that many of our customers are looking for different ticketing options so they can sell tickets to all kinds of complex events. Many of our most-requested features are around expanding Event Tickets, and we’re working hard to make it happen! We have a full roadmap of improvements planned, and we’re excited to introduce the first new feature: Series Passes.

Read on for a sneak peek into what we’ve been working on and what’s to come for events and tickets.

Series Passes

By the end of this year, we’ll be releasing Series Passes. If you’re already familiar with Series, available with Events Calendar Pro, you know that an Event Series can be used to group together any combination of single and recurring events. With Series Passes, you can sell a single ticket that grants attendees access to an entire series of events. Your users can make one purchase instead of signing up for multiple events. Series Passes are perfect for complex multi-day events, events with multiple venues or stages, or any time you want to upsell attendees to more events.

A Series Pass is a new ticket type that is created and managed from the Series admin on the backend of your WordPress site. Once you create a Series Pass, your site visitors can purchase a pass from the Series page or from any event in the Series. Capacity and attendance are handled at the Series level, so when someone purchases a pass, the availability is decreased everywhere.

Like single tickets, Series Passes can be customized with descriptions, sales dates, and capacity options. Users with Event Tickets Plus will also be able to add attendee registration fields to any pass. Series have their own Attendees and Orders pages so you can track sales.

Examples

We’ve created a demo site so that you can see Series Passes in action. The first example is Game Night. This ongoing event Series has a Series Pass, and then each individual event also has its own ticket. The second example is a Pastry Making Class. This one utilizes several different Series Pass prices for a three-day Series. Feel free to explore the demo site and share any feedback that you may have about Series Passes.

What’s next?

Series Passes is just the beginning of all the exciting work to come with events and tickets. Check out this Knowledgebase article to read more about our plans for future features. You can also check out our Roadmap and vote on which features are most important to you.
