Best scenario for museum tour times with options

[Leslie ocko]

What is the best implementation for our site? We offer a tour and a ride. There are specific times each day for each, and a maximum number per slot. Times differ by season, so for several months there may be 5 time slots each day, then 3 other months, then closed several months.

What do I need to create a calendar that user can select whatever day they are interested in visiting and see specific times offered, then if they want to purchase a ticket for a specific tour time. And if they want to buy a tour and ride, is there a way to discount the combo? And prices vary by age.

We are looking for the ability to use this on site as well so when people buy online or at the door, we don’t over sell a time slot.

Hi there Leslie,

Thanks for getting in touch with us and for your interest in our plugins 🙂

Our ticketing plugins Event Tickets and Event Tickets Plus do not offer time-slots options so this means you’ll need to create these options as separate ticket types (i.e.: ‘Museum Tour 9-10am’, ‘Museum Tour 10-11am’, etc). There’s also no option to add the ride option ‘into the ticket’, unless you create another ticket type (i.e.: ‘Museum Tour 9-10am + ride’, ‘Museum Tour 10-11am + ride’, etc). So I’m not sure our plugins will be the best options for this as a lo of manual work will be needed.

Regarding the other requirements you mentioned (stock number per ticket option, calendar showing the events, changing schedule over the year, etc) I’m mostly sure you are covered. I think the best way to know if our products work for your project is to actually test it out. While we don’t have a trial period, you can go ahead and purchase the products for testing. If you decide they are not what you are looking for, you can ask for a full refund within 30 days of purchase. For more information take a look at our refund policy.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with,
Best,
Nico

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
