    I’ve seen other questions about this before but wanted to ask whether it was on the roadmap.

    I’m already using Calendar Pro and Community Event, and now I would like our organizers to also sell their own tickets on our site. We of course would take a service fee, but want to give them the ability to sell tickets.

    1. Is this on the roadmap, and if so when do you expect it to be released?

    2. With additional customizations on our part, do you see any reason why we couldn’t enable it so that event creators could create Tickets in the system?

    Howdy Ameet,

    It’s nice to meet you. That’s a good question.

    First of all, here is our feature suggestion for that. Please vote on it if you’re interested in it. This is a feature we have talked a lot about. On our last Modern Tribe team retreat the owners brought it up when talking about ideas we have been scoping out. We are interested in maybe building it, but it is not currently being developed.

    One of the caveats that gets discussed about this feature, is that many of the users who want it also want the ability to collect a commission on each ticket sold, but since the rest back to the event submitter/organizer. That’s an awesome idea. However, there is no real way of doing that in any of the current ecommerce platforms we support. Once a product (or ticket) is added tot he cart, our plugins lose control over it. At that point it is up to the ecommerce to walk you through checkout, collect payment, etc. And from what we have seen none of them really allow for this idea of commissions and split payouts. So, we are still trying to figure out a good workaround to this rather sizeable caveat before deciding to move forward.

    If you don’t want the above ability then it is thoroughly conceivable that you could add a ticket submission area to the front end. Another possibility is to give people who can submit tickets an Author role on your website. That would allow them to submit events from the backend. However, as WordPress indicated they will only be able to edit/manage their own posts, not those authored by others. https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

    Does that all make sense? Does that completely answer your questions?

    Cheers!
