EventBrite Tickets Attendee Confirmation

[Michael Starks]

I am trying to decide if EventBrite Tickets or Event Tickets Plus would be the better solution for our needs. On one hand, I like that EventBrite can basically handle everything for us, including registering users, taking payments and checking them in. On the other hand, I like the idea of Events Ticket Plus doing everything on our site. My questions about EventBrite integration:

1. Does the plugin know about users who actually showed up and were checked in? I like the idea of having this data in our site.
2 Can the entire registration process be performed in an iframe so that it is more seamless to the user?
3. Can we require a form be filled out on our web site as part of the registration process?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Michael,

Thanks for getting in touch and for your interest in our products 🙂

I’ll help you decide which integration might work for the project you are working on. First I’ll describe how the plugin works and then I’ll get to your questions.

Basically what Eventbrite tickets does is to keep event information in sync between your site and your EB account. Additionally it shows a tickets iFrame with the available tickets and a button to buy. The ticket listing, and the checkout are managed by EventBrite, on their site.

1. Does the plugin know about users who actually showed up and were checked in? I like the idea of having this data in our site.

Nope 🙁

2 Can the entire registration process be performed in an iframe so that it is more seamless to the user?

The tickets will be shown in a iFrame but once users click to buy a ticket, they will be redirected to the EventBrite site.

3. Can we require a form be filled out on our web site as part of the registration process?

I guess this is possible with some custom code. Maybe you can just show the tickets form to logged in users (an easy tweak) and manage registration with WordPress default accounts. Do you think this might work? Maybe the difficult part here is to sync the information between your site and the EventBrite side.

Maybe the best way to know which solution to choose is to actually try them out! While we don’t have a trial period, you can go ahead and purchase the products for testing. If you decide they are not what you are looking for, you can ask for a full refund within 30 days of purchase. For more information take a look at our refund policy.

Please let me know if you have follow-up questions on this,
Best,
Nico

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.
