does community events allow for RSVP

[Martin]

We are a nonprofit organizing a national week of conversation April 20-28th for a large number of partner organizations. For this upcoming National Week of Conversation we would like to allow our partner organizations to create events with a maximum attendance cap. All events will be free, but we would like participants to be able to RSVP to the community created events in the same way that the user can if we are using the Event Tickets plugin. Is this possible? Do we need community tickets to do this? Since there are no transactions we would rather not have the woocommerce overhead. Thanks!

Good evening Martin and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.

We would like participants to be able to RSVP to the community created events in the same way that the user can if we are using the Event Tickets plugin. Is this possible? Do we need community tickets to do this?

The short answer is yes, you can absolutely do this.

You have 2 routes to get there:

1. Adding the RSVP tickets manually from the backend after the events have been created on the front-end (not ideal, but will work)
2. Getting a copy of both Community Tickets AND Event Tickets Plus (even though you are not selling tickets). Full disclosure, we are in the process of removing the Event Tickets Plus requirement for your specific scenario. I cannot offer a date for that yet, but you will be contacted as soon as this requirement falls.

Best regards,

Geoff B.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
