Best way to sell tickets for recurring events?

[Katie Jones]

Hi hi – we need to sell tickets to recurring events, just a simple PayPal payment. What’s the best way to do this, given that Events Ticket Plus doesn’t support payment on recurring events? Thanks!

Good afternoon Katie and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.

What’s the best way to do this, given that Events Ticket Plus doesn’t support payment on recurring events?

That is a great question. As a side note, if you have not already done so, please vote for the feature here: https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/3685663-recurring-event-support-for-tickets

Also, for the record, there is actually one thing that is supported at this point: having the exact same set of tickets for all of the events it the series.

In other words, event A, B, C, etc.. all share the exact same tickets.
For some people, that works. However, I do not know if that is your case.

But back to your question.

There are 2 approaches you could take:

1. Create all the recurring events using our built-in tool and then “break them from the series” individually. That will allow you to have distinct tickets. The downside is that the events are no longer perceived as recurring. The upside is that this lets you create events faster.
2. Experiment with the following idea to see if that could work for you: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/selling-tickets-from-the-woocommerce-products-page/

I wish I had a better answer for you, but for now it’s the best one I have unfortunately.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.

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.
