Create an Event that offers Single Seat & Single Table bookings

[laurimarsc]

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how I may be able to create an event that has the options of Single Seat or Single Table tickets.

To explain further, we have a social event where there is a total of 240 seats, which is 20 tables of 12 people. We want to be able to offer potential attendees the ability to choose a Single Table ticket (which allocates 12 Single Tickets) or just a Single Ticket where we can allocate these people to any table’s that are left over on the night.

The main thing is that if someone books a table, the overall ticket capacity drops by 12. I hope this makes sense!

Thanks in advance,
Brandon

Hi Brandon,

Thanks for reaching out!

There is not currently a way to decrease the stock automatically like this when a single ticket is purchased (in this case a “Table” ticket). You can read more about how sharing the ticket stock across multiple tickets (on the same event) works by default here.

However, if you are using WooCommerce as your ecommerce platform, you should be able to get this set up with a third-party add-on…I would recommend taking a look at the following:

https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/group-bundle-products-woocommerce/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-fixed-quantity/

If this is a feature that you would like to see added in the future, please do let us know over in our Feature Ideas Forum! This is what we use to gauge user interest in new features and help guide future development efforts.

I’m sorry I don’t have a more straightforward solution for you here, but I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Jennifer
