Capturing extra details per attendee for the quantity of tickets ordered

[teamworks]

If a person orders multiple quantities of a ticket I’d like to capture extra details for each person attending the event.

I’ve used this tutorial to add an extra field for ‘additional info’ to the checkout process.

Custom Checkout Fields

But it’s not quite what I wanted.

In an ideal world I’d like to specify custom fields such as name, email, dietary requirements per person for each ticket ordered.

The attendees list for the event already seems to create entries for each ticket ordered but assigns the attendee name as the person that booked the ticket rather than each individual attending.

Is this possible?

It’s possible yes and we’re considering changes to our ticketing framework (so this would potentially impact on EDD Tickets in addition to WooCommerce Tickets, Shopp Tickets, etc) that might facilitate this. However, we’re not quite at the point of starting development on that just yet.

With that in mind I’d definitely encourage you to add your support for this over on UserVoice (whether by creating a new ticket or adding support to an existing one). I think you’ll see huge demand for this already that is specific to WooCommerce Tickets, but it would certainly be worth indicating your own need to see this for EDD Tickets.

Thanks for getting in touch 🙂

Barry, we have this same need, for some event/training registrations. Would you have any direction on how to appropriately update the attendees table with the appropriate information based on just using additional checkout fields? Adding the fields to get the additional name/email/contact info at checkout is relatively trivial, but having it appropriately populate the attendee table is pretty integral to this working in any useful manner.

Alternatively, is there any way to possibly set an option in the ticket creation screen to limit tickets to single purchase only, so only one ticket could be purchased, in order to better control the appropriate attendee information.

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed (do note that we are not automatically notified when someone other than the original poster adds a reply, so it is always best to create a new thread of your own). Thanks!
