adding attendies to list who did not buy tickets online With an Attendee Name

[Chris Blair]

I see how to use Woo to set up a non paid guest ticket (family and such) But i can’t figure out how to add an attendee name.

Hi Chris,

Creating new orders manually (via WooCommerce’s order editor screen) is the best way to create new tickets/attendee entries.

Please note however that, at this time, each entry in the attendee is associated with the purchaser’s name. Out of the box, you cannot link individual tickets with anyone else’s name.

Does that help/clarify things?

It helps but it doesn’t solve the issue of a name for the door to use to check someone in. I may use a 100% coupon and run the transaction that way. Any other thoughts?

Hey Chris,

I don’t think so – at least not without some further customization work (it’s definitely possible to collect extra data during checkout and store it with each ticket/attendee entry, however it is a fairly advanced customization to make).

Alternatively you could “auto-magically” generate multiple new orders (basically, automating what you already suggested) – each order with the name of the actual individual attendee – but again this would be more involved than we could help you with.

Finally – though it’s not of any immediate help – please do note that we are working towards a ticket-meta solution to make the process of gathering addition attendee-specific data a lot easier, which may help with this once its ready 🙂
