Events Calendar Pro Paid

[JC]

Hi-

I would just like to add a ‘purchase tickets’ URL to an event and have it automatically add a “BUY TICKETS” button to my listing on the site.

If I become a PAID Events Calendar Pro customer, is that built in?

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

PRO is an add-on for The Events Calendar that has a lot of features, but it doesn’t add any ticketing-related features.

Event Tickets Plus (ET+) is our paid add-on plugin that upgrades the functionality of our free Event Tickets (ET) plugin.

Event Tickets Plus enables you to sell tickets via one of our supported eCommerce platforms. The free plugin only enables free RSVP-type tickets.

You can view our roundup/comparison of all the eCommerce plugins ET+ supports.

Our plugin uses your eCommerce plugin of choice, but your eCommerce plugin isn’t displayed for shopping pages. Please reference our Making Tickets KB article (screenshots are from an install using WooCommerce) for an idea how to create tickets for an event.

Site visitors would purchase tickets from each event’s single page/view (e.g. http://wpshindig.com/event/events-tickets-demo/) — if there is an RSVP to submit or ticket to purchase.

The order confirmation email will include a QR code that can be scanned to “check in” someone at the door at the time of the event. You can read more at Tickets: Managing your orders and attendees.

If your tickets will be free, you don’t need QR code check-in, and you don’t need to collect information other than name and email address, you likely could just use the free/core Event Tickets plugin.

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

Wow. Thanks for such a quick reply. I am just looking for a basic events/tour listing like this list:

Small Changes

Your plugin is a bit too advanced/expensive for my needs I think.

Thank you for letting me know.

JC, that looks like a really simple setup. It’s a table displaying the date, title, city, and a link to buy tickets off-site (e.g. Ticketmaster).

You could do that manually in a WordPress Page if you have an off-site ticketing solution like that site does.

Do you have an off-site ticketing solution already?

If not, you could use our free The Events Calendar (free) and Event Tickets (free) + Event Tickets Plus ($89). Then you could create events (which you could display in a table/list, like this) and add tickets and your only cost in addition to $89 would be the credit card processing fees.

Please let me know if I’m missing a piece of your puzzle here. 🙂

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!
