best or quickest way to show an event is full/closed

[Ajay Gilbert]

Hi,

using Events Calendar Pro with Woocommerce and Events Tickets Plus – once an event is fully booked, what is the best or quickest way to display it as ‘full’?

thanks

Hi Ajay and welcome back!

Good question. Once an event is full, the ticket form will display a “sold out” notice on the event page itself.

If you are looking for customize the appearance more, you could use the tribe_events_has_soldout() function to check whether an event has sold out and then display additional content either on the event page itself, or in the full calendar.

Does this make sense and will it work for you? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

Thanks for getting back to me. I will look into that function you mentioned – as we’re selling in some offline ways too, we need to be able to stop further booking pronto and manually.

Do you see what I mean?

cheers

Awesome, I see exactly what you mean. Yeah, the system will only be as smart as the data it has, so if you’re also selling in an offline mode, then getting that information into WordPress as soon as possible will be the quickest method for identifying an event as sold out.

Cheers!

Well I suppose I can’t really argue with that! I suppose one could also reduce the global limit on numbers available…

anyhow, thanks for your input
