Automatically assign event tickets to a product category?

[Andy]

Can tickets created through event tickets pro be automatically assigned a specific woocommerce product category?

Hi Andy!

Thanks for reaching out to us! I’d be happy to help here! 🙂

There is no default option to do that. However, you could achieve something like that with some custom coding.

The following is a code snippet that will assign the product category “movie-tickets” to all the tickets you create:

add_action( 'event_tickets_after_save_ticket', 'tribe_events_add_product_category_to_tickets', 10, 4 );

function tribe_events_add_product_category_to_tickets( $event_id, $ticket, $raw_data, $classname ) {

if ( ! empty( $ticket ) && isset( $ticket->ID ) ) {
wp_add_object_terms( $ticket->ID, 'movie-tickets', 'product_cat' );
}
}

You can put that code in your theme’s functions.php file. Remember to change ‘movie-tickets’ for the category name of your choice.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have other questions.

Best,
Victor
