Looking for the right package

[Andrew]

Hi,

I love your plugin and think that it will work perfectly on my site.

Could you tell me if it does all of the following or if I may have to make compromises:

1. Sell dance classes (spread throughout the weeks and months, some new some recurring)?

2. When selling a class (for example) is there an ‘add to cart’ button on the single event page?

3. Can I have an events calendar on PAGE 1 which shows all paid classes (i.e. shows category a) and an events calendar on another page which shows social events etc (i.e. category b)?

For this kind of setup would I need to buy both Events Calendar Pro and Events Tickets Plus?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your interest in our plugins!

A combination of Event Tickets, Event Tickets Plus and optionally The Events Calendar is a great way to sell tickets for your events and we actually have a live demo available so you can get a sense of how it might look to your prospective customers.

I do have to highlight however that – at least right now – recurring events are not officially supported by our ticketing solutions.

Can I have an events calendar on PAGE 1 which shows all paid classes (i.e. shows category a) and an events calendar on another page which shows social events etc (i.e. category b)?

You could certainly categorize your events as paid and unpaid and then generate links to each of those categories, which would basically let you achieve this (and, in an upcoming release, we’ll be adding a new shortcode to provide even more flexibility in this regard).

For this kind of setup would I need to buy both Events Calendar Pro and Events Tickets Plus?

To sell tickets, all you would need to buy is Event Tickets Plus: this depends on Event Tickets which is freely downloadable.

Events Calendar PRO provides additional views and capabilities like support for recurring events but, as above, I’m afraid that currently recurrence and ticketing are not a supported combination.

I hope that answers your questions, but please do let me know if I can help with anything else 🙂

Thanks again!

Hi,

Thanks very much for your reply.

One more thing! When you say I could categorize events and then generate a link to each category, how would I generate a link to that category?

Many thanks

Hi Andrew,

There are a couple of ways you could do this. If you want to add event categories to a regular WordPress menu, you’ll find that you can simply locate the correct category (in the Appearance → Menus admin screen), check the box and add it that way:

Alternatively, you could visit the list of event categories in the admin environment and find the URL of the ones you are interested in by following the view link, or by right clicking and copying the URL to your clipboard (via the Events → Event Categories admin screen):

The first approach is the easiest as you would never have to manually craft the link, but the second approach can be useful if you need to do something more creative than that.

In summary, though, the process would be almost exactly as it is for a regular WordPress post category 🙂

I hope that helps!

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!
