Event check-in and ticket purchasing options

[Gary Gray]

Hi there…

I’m evaluating your Ticketing Pro plugin for use on a client’s website and have a few questions…

1) Is there an iOS app available to check in ticket holders that can scan the QR codes? I know I can manually check attendees in via the WordPress Admin, but that seems cumbersome at a large event with a potential 1500 people. Further, each venue on the tour would have different technology in-house, so we can’t rely on the exported CSV list functionality to integrate with whatever they have on site. As a result, we’d prefer to use iPhones/iPads to check people in, but want to know what the best method to do that is via iOS.

2) Is there way to NOT SHOW remaining tickets available? My clients would prefer that information not to be shared. I looked in the Admin settings and do not see an option to deactivate that.

3) Similarly, is there a way to turn off the display of the “Do not list me on public display of attendees list” checkbox. We have no intention of sharing that information, and prefer that this option isn’t even visible.

4) Is there a way to LIMIT the amount of tickets sold in a given transaction? I don’t see an option for this anywhere.

Thanks much!

Hey Gary,

1) Is there an iOS app available to check in ticket holders that can scan the QR codes? I know I can manually check attendees in via the WordPress Admin, but that seems cumbersome at a large event with a potential 1500 people. Further, each venue on the tour would have different technology in-house, so we can’t rely on the exported CSV list functionality to integrate with whatever they have on site.

You can indeed use an iOS or other smartphone app to scan the QR codes—there’s a litany of options out there, so while we don’t “officially endorse” or recommend any specific one, if you search the app stores of your various devices for a QR code scanner, you should find many options.

2) Is there way to NOT SHOW remaining tickets available? My clients would prefer that information not to be shared. I looked in the Admin settings and do not see an option to deactivate that.

You can do this with custom CSS, but not, no admin-facing options will do the job. While we cannot help with writing custom CSS ourselves, it’s fairly simple especially if you know some CSS already. To make customizations like this easier, definitely check out a [free!] tool like Firebug if you use FireFox, or the Developer Tools for either Safari or Chrome. They have “Inspector” tools that let you zoom right over the element you’d like to hide or change—like the stock amount remaining, for example—and you can write custom CSS from there.

3) Similarly, is there a way to turn off the display of the “Do not list me on public display of attendees list” checkbox. We have no intention of sharing that information, and prefer that this option isn’t even visible.

You can disable the public display of attendees altogether, but there is unfortunately not a person-by-person option to opt-out of inclusion at this time.

4) Is there a way to LIMIT the amount of tickets sold in a given transaction? I don’t see an option for this anywhere.

There is not a way to do this with out plugins at this time.

I hope this information helps!

Sincerely,
George
