EventBrite or WooTickets

[Peter]

A client wants to offer the facility to buy tickets for her hairdressing courses online. There are a variety of these courses and they can have up to 10 trainees and are offered several times a year.
She wants them to be able to pay online after reviewing the course.
Would I be better doing this through EventBrite or WooTickets?

Thank you ,
Peter
She has no payment gateway set up for this as yet.

I could do with a reply before the discount finishes, please.

Hey,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

Based on the brief description of what your site needs, both of these plugins will work to get the functionality you need. The choice between the two comes in whether or not you would like to handle the transaction directly on your site.

When using WooCommerce tickets, the ticket purchasing will be handled via a cart on your website where you can set up other payment processors such as Stripe or other gateways via third-party plugins available for WooCommerce.

With Eventbrite, the tickets will be managed by http://eventbrite.com. When tickets are created on your site, the API will create the new event on Eventbrite and then adds the tickets directly to your event. When users purchase tickets, they will be taken to Eventbrite for the processing of the transaction.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

Thanks Josh. Well impressed with the prompt reply too.
As you suggest both solutions appear to offer what I need to provide, I think then WooTickets offers me more.
Looking at Eventbrite it can cost a bit per ticket.I think Wootickets may be the one to choose as it offers different gateways so we have more flexibility. Stripe seems a popular cost effective method too.
Best wishes, Peter

Just tried to buy this with your black friday coupon and it wont let me @Drumsticks’

Hey Peter,

I’m glad I was able to help!

Were you able to work out getting the plugins you needed with the Black Friday deal? If not, I can probably get something set up for you to still be able to take advantage of that deal since it looks like your reply fell within the sale time.

Thanks!

Hey!

It’s been a few weeks since we heard from you. I’ll go ahead and close this ticket for now. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to open a new one.

Thanks!
