Community Events and RSVP

[Tien Vo]

Hello,

We have a community website setup for cycling and looking for an elegant calendar found The Event Calendar. You have several different options, one including the Community Events and Community Tickets. Can both these events plugin able to take RSVP and able to view who RSVP on the events? I saw the video showing that members can RSVP and event organizers can view who RSVP’d, can community members also view who RSVP’d. Besides the RSVP features, we also want an event calendar that can create a pay event, which would be the Community Tickets. We are looking for a calendar events that can perform the following:

1. Send out new and modify event notification to community members.
2. Display who RSVP’d in event.
3. Custom email reply to community member after member RSVP’d.
4. Create a pay event.

Can you tell me which event calendar would work for our community?

Thank you,
Tien

Hi Tien. Thanks for your question and considering our plugin suite.

We have two “core” plugins that both have their own add-ons. One is The Events Calendar, for which there are add-ons like Community Events (to enable visitors to submit new events and edit their own events on the front-end) and Pro (enables a lot of upgraded functionality but a major one is enabling recurring event logic).

We also have Community Tickets add-on if you need to allow your visitors to sell tickets and they receive the money.

===

Event Tickets Plus is our paid add-on plugin that upgrades the functionality of our other free/core plugin, Event Tickets (enables RSVP functionality).

Event Tickets Plus enables you to sell tickets via one of our supported eCommerce platforms. The free plugin only enables free RSVP-type tickets.

You can view our roundup/comparison of all the eCommerce plugins ET+ supports.

Our plugin uses your eCommerce plugin of choice, but your eCommerce plugin isn’t displayed for shopping pages. Please reference our Making Tickets KB article (screenshots are from an install using WooCommerce) for an idea how to create tickets for an event.

Site visitors would purchase tickets from each event’s single page/view (e.g. example.com/events/rogers-day-at-the-zoo/) — if there is an RSVP to submit or ticket to purchase.

To customize the RSVP email, you’d need to get your hands dirty with PHP (or hire a developer).

I hope this info helps. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

Hi,

Just to add another question or 2 to this…

With the RSVP functionality do you have to email people you wish to invite, or could there be a blanket ‘open rsvp’ where anybody that has access to the events calendar can rsvp without having to be notified of the event in the first place?

Secondly can all people attending an event be displayed on the event details page as attendees?

Thanks

Andy, thanks for your questions. We encourage users to create their own threads so please keep that in mind for the future.

If an event has RSVPs, anyone visiting the single Event page can submit an RSVP. Same with a paid ticket to purchase.

Displaying attendee information isn’t part of our offering at this time, but you may be able to find it as an existing feature request or create a new one at our Event Tickets / Plus ideas forum.

I hope this info helps.
