Clarification on Needed Pl

[Brandon]

Your website isn’t very clear, in fact, it’s quite confusing for people to piece together what is needed to actually get a functioning platform.
I have questions I would like answered, before I invest in your platform:
1. Is Community Events simply an entry portal, requiring Events Cal Pro to actually display the events?
2. Does Community Events require the Community Tickets application to sell tickets, or does Events Tickets Plus do the trick?
3. I am looking to allow users to enter their own events and sell tickets to their events. To do so, would Community Tickets, combined with Event TIckets/Event Tickets Plus and WooCommerce meet my needs?

Hey Brandon,

Thanks for reaching out.

I’m sorry that you found our website confusing, and appreciate the honest feedback about it.

In regards to your questions, I will answer them in turn as follows:

1. Is Community Events simply an entry portal, requiring Events Cal Pro to actually display the events?

You do NOT need Events Calendar Pro for any add-ons. All you ever need is The Events Calendar, which is the core plugin that provides the basic calendar functionality.

Yes, you need The Events Calendar to have a calendar on your site, and thus you need it before you can add the Community Events plugin. If there wasn’t a calendar, then there would be nowhere to post the Community-Submitted events, so you need to have The Events Calendar installed and activated for Community Events or any other add-on.

2. Does Community Events require the Community Tickets application to sell tickets, or does Events Tickets Plus do the trick?

3. I am looking to allow users to enter their own events and sell tickets to their events. To do so, would Community Tickets, combined with Event TIckets/Event Tickets Plus and WooCommerce meet my needs?

It depends on what you need.

If you want folks who submit events to be able to earn their own money, and split the earnings with you as the site owner, then YES you need Community Tickets.

If you just want folks who submit events to be able to say, “This event will cost $25 and there are 250 seats available” (for example), but then ONLY YOU as the site owner will collect money, and they as event-submitters will NOT share in the revenue, then you do NOT need Community Tickets.

Selling tickets—with or without the Community Tickets features—requires a few different things. You would need the following as a base to sell tickets for money:

• WordPress [free]
• WooCommerce [free]
• The Events Calendar [free]
• Event Tickets [free]
• Event Tickets Plus [premium]

If you want to use the features of Community Tickets then to the above roster you would have to add:

• Community Events [premium]
• Community Tickets [premium]

I hope this information helps!
George
