Event and Ticketing question

[joe]

Hi can you tell me if I can active these 3 functions with the pro-versions of your events and ticking plugins combined? I have a site that has members join at different membership levels and offers events to these members different pricing based on membership level. i’m wondering if combining your pro products will accomplish the following:

1.) Display the events

2.) Sell a limited amount of registrations to each event (tickets) then have the event automatically close sales so it doesn’t over sell.

3.) Have different pricing displayed based on membership level and purchases made and tracked through the ticketing plugin on the event page.

4.) Send out event reminders to those who have purchased tickets in advance of event.

It looks like this is possible but I’m not sure and I don’t want to purchase and try to figure it out just to find I can not achieve.

Thanks
Joe

Hi Joe,

Thanks for checking out our plugins!

1. Using The Events Calendar, our free plugin that is required to run Events Calendar Pro, you can create and display events on your site.
2. You can indeed set limits on the quantity available for each ticket. Once the ticket is sold out, no more of that ticket can be purchased. This article has some additional details on what options you have when creating tickets.
3. There is not currently an out-of-the-box way to set different price levels based on membership, but you might be able to accomplish this by using WooCommerce as your ecommerce platform with a WooCommerce extension that allows you to set different prices based on membership. Tickets are essentially WooCommerce simple products, so you can typically use WooCommerce extensions in conjunction with our plugins.
4. When tickets are purchased, users will get an order confirmation email as well as an email with their tickets. There is not a built-in way to send further emails to attendees. However, you can export a list of attendees, which you could then import into a third-party mailing platform to send out additional emails.

I would also like to point out the way that ticketing works with recurring events (a feature of Events Calendar Pro). You can add tickets to a recurring event series, but please note that the tickets will be applied to the series as a whole, not to each individual date in the series. So, the tickets will show up on all dates in the series, but there would be no way to tell which date in the series the user clicked on to buy the tickets. We are working on expanding this functionality for the future.

We do offer full refunds within 30 days of purchase, so if you’d like to take Event Tickets Plus and/or Events Calendar Pro for a test run, feel free to do so! Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thanks,

Jennifer

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.
