Funtionality Question

[Nicola Urbinati]

Hi,

We need to manage a gaming convention. It is so structured:

1) On two days+one evening (Friday evening to full sunday)
2) Has fixed gaming slots (Friday 18-00, Saturday 9.30-15.30, 16.30-00.00, Sunday 10-17)
3) Participants can create their own gaming sessions inside those slots, with min (for the game to start)/max players, and other participants can opt in.

I can see it with single events as gaming sessions, but can I set default tickets to choose for the event creators, and can they set min/max attendees?

Is there an easy way to offer this?

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

We do not provide a “bookings” solution. The closest thing we have–in concept–is tickets for recurring events… however, this functionality does not currently exist but is on our long-term roadmap.

Our ticketing product also doesn’t currently support PRO’s recurring events.

If you start to create a ticket for a recurring event, there will be a little question mark notice that reads:

Currently, tickets will only show up on the frontend once per full event. For PRO users this means the same ticket will appear across all events in the series. Please configure your events accordingly.

You should add your vote to this existing feature request for Event Tickets to support PRO’s recurring events.

Something some users are doing right now is using PRO’s recurring events to populate their events calendar but then breaking each occurrence from the series to turn them into single events — basically using PRO as an event generator but not actually using its recurring events functionality on the front-end. Others are just dealing with the tickets on recurring events even though you can’t then tell which occurrence they reserved the ticket for… use this information for your own reference but please don’t take it as any sort of recommendation.

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

Last but not least, we have Bundles and 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. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

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!
