An entire weekend event with multiple mini-events

[Carol]

Situation: An entire weekend event that has smaller events within. How can I use Events Tickets Plus to include individual tickets for the smaller events into one GROUP dropdown that is on the Main weekend event? Can Woocommerce do this? Here’s an example of what I’m trying to achieve.

BIG EVENT (3 days) You have one ticket that will cover all the events within that 3 days. Kinda like a state fair with individual rides.

Smaller event (say Friday nite event) — 1 ticket with smaller price for this one event
Smaller event (say Saturday morning design show) — Another ticket with smaller price just for this event
Smaller event (say Saturday nite dinner and show) — Another ticket with smaller price just for this event

ETC…..

I want to create a Woocommerce Products GROUP (category) just for the MAIN event (entire weekend) with individual tickets being housed under that GROUP or category in my store.

On the MAIN events page, I’m shooting for a dropdown list with each individual smaller event’s ticket being the choices and then have one big ticket that covers ALL smaller events.

Am I making any sense.

Hi Carol,

Thanks for contacting us and for considering Event Tickets Plus for your project 🙂

Combined with The Events Calendar, youc could certainly create a multiday event spanning 3 days. You could then add as many tickets as you like to the event – and name them according to whether they grant access to sub-events or the whole event.

The only difficulty could be if you need fine grained stock control: while we do provide options such as global/shared stock, where all tickets draw from a common inventory pool, that may or may not meet your needs here (on the other hand, you may not have any particular concerns about over-selling and this might not be something you need to worry about).

On the MAIN events page, I’m shooting for a dropdown list with each individual smaller event’s ticket being the choices and then have one big ticket that covers ALL smaller events.

I’m not completely sure as to what you picture, but you can see an example of our regular tickets form here (on our demo site).

If this doesn’t meet your needs and you absolutely need a dropdown, that’s certainly possible and could be accomplished with one or more pieces of customization work – please do note though that while we can help you with this sort of thing by pointing you in the right direction, we generally can’t create customizations for you – so some coding know-how (or access to a developer) might be required to put the finishing touches on this.

All of our plugins are built with customizability in mind, though, so it should certainly be something you or a dev working on your behalf can accomplish in a clean and maintainable manner.

I hope that answers your questions, but please let me know if I can help with anything else 🙂
