Community Events Add on & Woo Tickets

[WIN]

If I buy community events I would purchase it for the ability to have my users add events. Now, with they also be able to sell tickets also with the woo tickets functionality also?

Hey @WIN,

At this time, tickets can not be created for events from the front-end submission form for Community Events.

The “Event Cost” field can be populated, of course, and then you can take this and manually create a ticket from it, but an actual product for the ticket to go on sale will not be created within WooCommerce.

For example, here’s a screenshot of the Tickets section of an event submitted from the front-end Community Events submission form → https://cloudup.com/cpbpbOMqFMq

By default, Community Events will save events submitted from the Community submission form as “Drafts”. You change this in the Events > Settings > Community options panel in your admin, but if the events are saved as drafts, you can then manually create whatever tickets you need for an event, then “Publish” the event and it will be created successfully – with all the event data provided by the submitter, then the actual tickets for sale through WooCommerce that you can manage and administer as the Site Admin.

Let me know if this helps! If not, or if you have any other questions or concerns, let us know!

Cheers,
George

Hello,

Continuing the same theme with the Community Events addon, I will also use WooCommerce tickets + WooCommerce Product Vendors (Allow vendors to sell products and earn commissions in a multi-vendor marketplace!)

My objective: community users may create an event, and sell tickets for their events with the commission for the site owner.

Is my choise is correct ? Have this option been checked with The Events Calendar ?

Thank you in adavance,

Mimmi

Hey Mimmi,

This is an interesting question, and one that I thing you should also send to the WooCommerce support team for further assistance and clarification here. (You should share a link to this support thread with them, as well.)

As far as I know, even adding this WooCommerce add-on would not get around the fact that tickets themselves are not created in the admin from events submitted through “Community Events”. So you’d still be met with that limit, unless you did extensive code customization, which is unfortunately beyond the scope of the support forums here.

From the front-end of Community Events, in other words, users cannot create actual tickets, regardless of the eCommerce platform or add-ons you have on your site. They can submit an “Event Cost”, which an admin could then come along and use as a Ticket Price and create tickets themselves.

I hope that helps or is at least clear, let us know!

Hello,

This issue’s been sitting here a while so I’m going to go ahead and close it for now – if other issues arise, don’t hesitate to come back and open a new ticket, and if you need to open a new ticket about the same issues you originally brought up here, please share a link to this original ticket so we can pick up where we left off.

Cheers!
George
