How Do I get ticket end time?

[designstudio]

Hello,

I’m trying to get the ticket end time so I can show a custom message when online ticket purchase time has ended but can buy it at the venue on the day of the event. Is there a function like “tribe_get_end_date” to do this?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can help out here.

The ticket end time is saved in a custom field in the WooCommerce Product Custom Post Type the field is called:

_ticket_end_date

So calling this would get the value:

get_post_meta( $ticket_id, '_ticket_end_date', true );

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Hello Brian,

Thanks for the code. This actually is not working in my case and returns empty. Do they get setup through some hooks or loops other than the page loop? The previous developer customized the single-event template but removed a lot of the hooks and left only the page loop.

Hi,

That function just looks for a meta entry based off the id so it does not really need a loop. It only needs an ID.

My guess if it returns empty it is because the ticket_id variable does not have a value.

You would have to use these functions to get the ticket id:


$tickets = TribeEventsTickets::get_event_tickets( $event_id );

foreach ( $tickets as $ticket ) {

echo get_post_meta( $ticket->ID, '_ticket_end_date', true );

}

Since I haven’t heard back from you here, I’m going to go ahead and close out this thread. Feel free to start a new thread if you have further issues. Thanks! 🙂
