Allowing users to sell tickets, but with restrictions

[Agustin]

Hi team,

I have installed events calendar and Event Ticket Plus, and I am really happy with the results so far. My question is related to granting users the ability to sell tickets. I have been reading about the Community Tickets add-on, but I’m still not quite sure it is the right product for me.

What I want to achieve is quite straightforward (although implementation might not be). I want to give users the ability to sell tickets on my site, but with the following restrictions:

* Users cannot create new events, i.e. users can only sell tickets to events previously created by the admin
* Admin sets a limit of tickets each user can sell per event
* Admin has to approve the sale of community tickets before it goes live

Is this something that can be achieved with community tickets? What add-ons would I need to achieve this?

Thanks in advance. Kind regards,

[Hunter]

Hi and welcome 🙂

Thank you for the kind words and I’m happy to hear our plugins have served you well thus far!

* Users cannot create new events, i.e. users can only sell tickets to events previously created by the admin

This would require some tinkering on your end, but our Admin roles and permissions tutorial is a good starting point. You also might try searching our forums in addition to general web searches to see if you can find any working examples. Unfortunately, we’re unable to provide customizations such as this, but visit our UserVoice Feature Ideas to suggest any features you’d like to see built into an upcoming release.

* Admin sets a limit of tickets each user can sell per event

Just as Event Tickets/Event Tickets Plus allows you to set a ticket stock limit, the Add event page for Community EventsCommunity Tickets is essentially the same as what you would see on the backend of your site. Below is a screenshot of the front-end of my Add event page’s Tickets section:

As stated in our New User Primer: Community Tickets tutorial, you would need the following:

Community Tickets requires The Events Calendar to be installed on your site. Additionally, Community Tickets requires you to have Community Events with Event Tickets, Event Tickets Plus, and WooCommerce installed and active on your site…

Another article worth reviewing is our Configuring Community Tickets tutorial.

* Admin has to approve the sale of community tickets before it goes live

Yes! We’ve included a setting allowing you to set the default status of events submitted by users:

Lastly, be sure to check out the Bundles page to possible save some money when purchasing multiple plugins.

For future reference, whenever you have a question about a product(s) you’re considering purchase, we ask you post in our Pre-Sales Questions channel. Thanks and let me know if you have any additional questions. Cheers!
