Events with multiple dates with different prices.

[Craig]

Hi guys,

I know this is unfair, but I got a few questions 🙂

I have an event that I want to host at the same venue but on multiple dates. I know you can create multiple events with the same information but different dates, but if the customer lands on the events page for Monday and it is sold out or they are unable to make it, how can I tell the customer that there is an event on Wednesday or Friday that they can attend. Can the event have multiple dates?

Secondly the pricing for Monday event is $10 dollars but the Wednesday and Friday event cost $13 and $15 respectively, how would this be setup?

Thirdly, if how do I allow customers to RSVP? Do you still have to use the Tickets module with the $0 price tag? What would the checkout experience be? Do they need to enter their card details?

Say if your event is limited to 100 people, but your allowing two ticket types, Silver and Gold packages and the even can have any number of silver or gold packages to be sold, would the system be smart enough to only sell 100 tickets? Or if is really successful I’m able to sell 200 ticket even tho I want 100 people to attend.

Cheers,
Craig.

Hi Craig,

Thanks for the interest in our plugins I can help answer your questions.

We have recurring events that can create events in a set pattern. However, we do not have a feature to relate events as you describe.

If you would like to request that feature please head to our UserVoice Page and add your own or upvote that feature as they will increase the chances of it being added to a future version.

Since tickets are created in each event manually, the price can be changed to anything you like per event.

Thirdly, if how do I allow customers to RSVP? Do you still have to use the Tickets module with the $0 price tag? What would the checkout experience be? Do they need to enter their card details?

The ticket plugins can handle 0 price and would not ask for payment details, but otherwise would have a regular checkout process to create the order.

Say if your event is limited to 100 people, but your allowing two ticket types, Silver and Gold packages and the even can have any number of silver or gold packages to be sold, would the system be smart enough to only sell 100 tickets?

Unfortunately, we do not have global stock for tickets, so each ticket has its own stock and so you could end up selling 200 tickets in the scenario you describe.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks
