Family Ticket Packages

[Jeffrey]

I have the system up and configured with Woocommerce, and both the Pro Events, and Tickets Plus. I want to create a “bundle” of tickets with a discount price for a family pack. For example – 2 adult tickets and 2 child tickets at a reduced price.

I have the Woocommerce bundle plugin – and can create a bundle tied to an event – but when added to the cart, it only sees the ticket as one item and does not input the name and demographics I require for each ticket. That is: selecting the family pack bundle charges the correct discounted price for four attendees, but does not then ask for four names, ages, etc. It also doesn’t seem to create four tickets.

The bulk discount doesn’t seem to support what I want because it cannot handle complex items such as 2 adults PLUS 2 children = fixed price discount.

Any suggestions?

I have also tried the “Chained Products” module in Woocommerce in addition to the “Bundled Products”. Neither one gives me the functionality to select a package of multiple tickets (for a lower cost) and then input the individual attendee information for the multiple tickets.

Howdy Jeffrey,

That is a cool idea. I can see the utility in this sort of bulk discount.

In order to integrate our solution with one of those other plugins it is probably going to take a seasoned PHP developer a few hours, maybe even a lot of hours. We actually do have interested in doing this ourselves, and eventually realeasing an update that includes this functionality builtin. But in the mean time it will require a PHP developer.

One solution that might be easier to implement is to use coupon codes. WooCommerce has these builtin. It’s a bit of a hacky workaround, but you can specify a general coupon code that applies to all products in the tickets category. It could kick in once a customer has x number of dollars in their cart, and then apply a discount. You could even have this coupon be automatically added when they hit the cart page. This still might require a PHP developer, but  it’s probable it will require less time and experience. Does this sound like a solution you might be interested in?

Cheers!
