Hi Christina,

Thanks for reaching out to us! Sorry to say I’m a bit confused about your inquire.

I’ve used WooCommerce combined with The Events Calendar Woo Tickets, but it wasn’t functioning like I’d hoped it would.

Can you please elaborate a bit on this? Was it a technical issue? Maybe it didn’t work as you expected?

Is Woo Tickets better? I want my site to function just like EventBrite!

You mean EventBrite Tickets?

Please let me know about those,
Thanks,
Nico

Hi Nico,

I used WooCommerce with Events Calendar for an Events website and I didn’t like how it worked. It was really difficult to separate tickets for events. I’d like to buy something that makes it easier. Can you confirm that WooTickets is better than the Events Calendar ticketing system?

Yes, it didn’t work as I expected. I would like to purchase WooTickets because it seems like it functions like EventBrite Tickets. I wanted to make sure before I purchased that the ticketing system works the way our organization needs it to.

Hi Christina,

Thanks for the follow-up! Let me clarify a bit…

The Events Calendar it self doesn’t have a Ticketing System. That functionality is provided by our Ticketing add-ons. All of them integrate with different E-commerce platforms that handle the checkout process and ticket payment in your site. So you need to install the e-commerce platform plugin and the corresponding Tickets product as well. For example: WooCommerce Tickets (WooTickets) integrates with WooCommerce.

EventBrite Tickets connects your site Events with EventBrite.com tickets system. A tickets form is showed on your site events, if the user wants to buy a ticket for the event is redirected to EventBrite.com, and the purchase is made there.

Can you confirm that WooTickets is better than the Events Calendar ticketing system?

Hope my comments above help to clarify this. But again, The Events Calendar doesn’t have a Ticketing System and WooTickets is one of our ticketing add-ons to sell tickets for events in your site.

I would like to purchase WooTickets because it seems like it functions like EventBrite Tickets.

Please note they work in a different way. WooTickets allows the user to purchase the tickets in your site while EventBrite Tickets links your site events with EventBrite.com tickets system. In the second case the purchase is done in EventBrite.com and not in your site.

Hope this helps you get a better idea of how our products work,
Please let me know if this answers your questions,
Best,
Nico

So I just want to make sure – WooTickets is different from The Events Calendar?

I just want to be completely sure before I spend my company’s money on something.

Thank you!!

Hi Christina,

Thanks for the follow-up!

The Events Calendar is our core product, it enables the basic calendar functionality on your WordPress site. While WooTickets is an add-on for The Events Calendar, and it enables you to sell tickets for events on your site, via WooCommerce.

Please note that we have a 30 days refund policy so you can purchase WooTickets and try it out. If decide it doesn’t fit your needs you can ask for a refund within 30 days of purchase.

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions and I’ll be glad to help you,
Best,
Nico
