Best suggestion for a community website

[Rusana]

I am supposed to research possibilities for a community website to have an Event Calendar and a place to sell tickets. I would like to suggest them to use the Event Calendar options, but since I am not familiar with this topic, I would like some guidance to what to propose and the prices. So my questions are:

1. Will the option Community tickets cover all their requirements for $149? Do we separately purchase the other 4 required plug-ins or does this price cover all of them? Is this price for a month or for a year?
2. This is one website so can we use the first option that says Personal (although it is a whole community) for $149?
3. Would you recommend using Evenbrite tickets instead of Community tickets in this situation?
4. Would you recommend something else?

I know it’s a lot of questions but I really hope to get answers soon because I think this is going to be really useful to them.

Hi Rusana, hope you had a great weekend!

Great questions. Community Events is a single plugin that specifically allows you to accept event submissions from your site visitors.

The Personal-level license means you can install Community Events on a single website — the one where you would expect to take event submissions. If you are looking to install Community Events on more than one website, then you would definitely want to consider one of the other licensing options.

If I were putting a community website together that sells tickets, then I would look into our Community Manager Bundle. It includes the following plugins:

• Event Tickets Plus: One you have Event Tickets installed, Event Tickets Plus will allow you to sell tickets as products (using an ecommerce plugin like WooCommerce)
• Community Events: This is the plugin that will allow you to accept event submissions to The Events Calendar.
• Community Tickets: This plugin connects Event Tickets Plus to WooCommerce so that those submitting events to The Events Calendar can create and sell tickets to those events and you can split the payment with them.
• Filter Bar: This is an additional plugin that makes it easier to search for events on your site.

Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

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.
