Events Calendar/Events Tickets functionality

[Angela]

Hi! I am looking into the Events Calendar and/or Events Tickets for a client website. I need to have 1 event listed on a page. The user would then have the option to view a detailed list of hotels available for that event. The user would then submit a request to reserve a number of rooms in the selected hotel. Would that be possible with your plug-ins?

Hi Angela,

Great question!

I think our plugins could help here, though it might take a bit of a workaround to make it happen.

The Events Calendar allows you to create events, which you know. It also allows you to create Venues for your events, which can then be associated to your events. So, in this case, you can create a Venue post for each hotel.

Event Tickets Plus (which requires our free Event Tickets plugin) allows you to create paid tickets for your events. My recommendation would be to create a ticket for each hotel and set the number of available tickets for each one to the number of available rooms. You can also set each ticket at a different price point, should the hotels be different nightly rates.

That’s likely the best way I can of how our plugins would help. Does that sound like it would do the trick? You can also feel free to let me know if I can clarify anything or answer any other questions about the plugin features.

Oh, and as a final point, our plugins do include a full refund within 30 days of purchase. Purchasing them and using the month to test things out might be a good way for you to get a solid feeling for whether they will work for you.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Thank you so much for your reply!

I’m not seeing how I can associate multiple venues with 1 event. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks!

Hey Angela!

Geoff is out this week so I thought I’d drop by and see if I could help 🙂

By default you can add multiple organizers to each event, but only a single venue. We can generally help our customers to tweak this sort of thing – ie make it possible to additionally assign multiple venues, for example – but that’s really beyond the scope of free support either here in pre-sales or on our wordpress.org plugin forums.

If you went ahead and purchased a license, though, definitely do feel free to login and post your question in our premium support forum (of course you’re welcome to request help in our free wordpress.org forums, too, but that is essentially a location for like-minded users in the community to help one another out).

Thanks!

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!
The Events Calendar Support Team
