A single event over consecutive days with daily tickets

[dotdash]

Hello,

I have an event that spans two days, but in which a separate ticket must be available for each day.

I would like to display this event as a single entry, but allow customer to choose their day via a dropdown.

Can this be done with recurring events? After playing with this facility, it seems as if it only allows a single payment for a block of events.

Do I need to create two separate events and merge them?

Cheers,

Spencer

HI,

Thanks for using our plugins.

Unfortunately, we do not have direct support for tickets for multiple days on a multiday event as you describe. The ticketing plugins were not designed to accomplish that.

You could create the event and have it’s time span two days and then create a day 1 ticket and day 2 ticket in the event. That is as close as the current version of the plugin will get it without doing customizations.

Also, our ticketing plugins do not support recurring events.

We are working on adding more advance features to the ticketing plugins and have a beta next month. If you are interested you can email us at [email protected]

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Hi Brian,

Thanks for getting back to me.

The Day 1 & 2 tickets sounds good.

We also need to offer Standard, Concessions, and Family tickets.

Would I need to then create 6 different tickets?

Yep you would need to create 6 different tickets then.

To keep track of everything I would put the name and the day the ticket is good in the Ticket Name so it shows up everywhere.

Thanks

Ok, thanks Brian.

Is it possible to group tickets by date?

I saw this on a cinema booking site: https://lighthouse.admit-one.eu

Under the film A Second Chance, each showing is listed by date. You can then click the time and are taken to a page in which the options are listed. I’d rather not have to go to an additional page.

It would be very cool if we did this within an accordion. Click the date, the panels expands with the ticket options for that day.

Cheers,

Spencer

Hi again,

Would it be possible to group events using the End Sale option from the ticket editor?

If we could, and display the end sale date as well, I could build an accordion around that.

Let me know what you think – I could be way off the mark 🙂

Cheers,

Spencer

Tickets are created and grouped by event in the order you create them. It could be possible to group by a date or end sale, but not a feature we support.

You can follow our themer’s guide to make edits to the ticketing template:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

This is the file to move and edit in your theme:

wootickets\views\wootickets\tickets.php

There you maybe to make the changes you are looking for.

Thanks

Hello there,

If there is an event that goes on for 6 weeks and the client wants to sell tickets on a daily basis we would need to create dozens of tickets, which would create a long a potentially confusing page.

Can we select the available date from a dropdown and then the ticket?

Cheers,

Spencer

Hi,

That could be possible, but beyond the features we currently have and not much help we can offer on that customization except what I have already mentioned in this thread.

Thanks

[Brian]

I am going to close this topic as we typically close threads if there is no activity after two weeks. Feel free to create a new thread and reference this one to save you time.

Thanks
