Hey Ian,
That’s a great question. I’m afraid Event Tickets and Event Tickets Plus are both unable to pre-release tickets to a specific group of users.
I do think a workaround could be cobbled together but it would take a bit of custom development.ย For example, writing a filter that looks for the tickets form on a specific event post and displays it only for signed in users on the site. We have a list of freelancers who might be available to help with that if it’s something you were interested in trying out.
Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. ๐
Cheers,
Geoff
