Event Tickets Plus – Use for "Virtual Events"

[Sahara]

Hi there,

I was wondering if this addon could be used for selling tickets to “virtual events”?

We are wanting to sell tickets to an online Webinar that users will stream live from wherever they are. Essentially what we are wanting it to sell tickets to the webinar, and once a user has purchased a ticket they will then receive access to the webinar link. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Sahara

Hi, Sahara. Thanks for your interest in our plugin suite.

An event’s location would be specified in an event, which comes from the free/core The Events Calendar plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/

Therefore, free RSVP tickets can be created via the free/core Event Tickets plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-tickets/

However, if you want to charge for tickets and add other great features, you would need Event Tickets Plus: https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-event-tickets-plus/

When a user gets a ticket to your event, the event’s title, location, and other details will be emailed to them. They can also visit the event while logged into their WordPress user account (if they were logged in during the time of purchase) and see a “My Tickets” link. You could add some custom code to implement displaying a secret link, but that’d be outside the scope of our support, since we do not provide such customizations… although if you have a code snippet you’re needing a second pair of eyes on, we can sometimes help point you in the right direction.

Last but not least, we have a pretty great Refund Policy so you can buy one or many of our add-ons and thoroughly test them.

I hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

So just so I’m understanding this correctly:

For each ticket I create for events with Events Tickets Plus, I can add customized additional information that will only be emailed to the user after they make the purchase?

Yes. You could do this with the free Event Tickets but to charge you’d need Event Tickets Plus.

Whether or not you have Event Tickets Plus, you would likely want to use the tribe_tickets_ticket_email_bottom action hook, which is located inside /wp-content/plugins/event-tickets/src/views/tickets/email.php

If you’re unfamiliar with action hooks, you can review some code examples (https://gist.github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=tribe_tickets_ticket_email_bottom) and this helpful blog post: https://theeventscalendar.com/tips-working-wordpress-actions-filters/

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions on this topic.

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!
