A limited number of tickets every day

[Rob]

Is possible to create a calendar that has a limited number of tickets every day and to have the count of availability of tickets? Users download the tickets every day so the calendar decreases the tickets according the day when users have downloaded them.

For example, today I have 100 tickets, another 100 tomorrow, if today users download 5 tickets I’ll have 95 on the calendar, if users download 20 tickets tomorrow I’ll have 80 on the calendar.

Thanks.

Hey Rob,

It sounds like this feature may indeed be supported out-of-the-box, if I understand things correctly. With our plugins as-is, you can set a limited ticket stock for an event. So if you have an event every day, and then create a ticket with a limited stock for each of these events, users will indeed only be able to buy whatever that number of tickets is for a given event.

As for displaying the stock “on the calendar”, can you elaborate a bit more on this? I’m just curious for some details so I can best answer this question – what you’re hoping to accomplish may require some custom code, as the ticket stock by default does not show anywhere on the front end unless you manually write something like “Only 50 tickets available, buy soon!” in your event description, for example.

I hope this information helps!

Cheers,
George

Hi Grorge,

I know exactly what Rob means as I’m looking for the same thing. It is basically to display ticket inventory on front end. For event organisers, manual descriptions won’t be sustainable. Does this have to be out of box?

Hey Ana (and Rob),

If you’re indeed just trying to display ticket stock information on the front-end of your site, then this code snippet shows how to do so with WooCommerce Tickets: https://gist.github.com/ggwicz/31f9d9774e938846d635

That should help and should not require manual descriptions – let me know if it does! And if you’re wondering where to use this function, that’s actually mostly up to you – you can use it on any calendar view, as long as you use the process detailed in our Themer’s Guide here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

Cheers!
George
