Parent/child registration for sport camps

[R T Catling]

Hello, ploughing through the forums, happy to be pointed at existing answers: hoping some combination of plugins/versions will handle the following: my organisation runs youth sports camps, so we need ‘family’ registration page where parent paying for tickets is captured separately from child attending camp (so we can pull an ‘attendees’ list of children, excluding the paying parent).

Ideally, parent might register multiple children and get sibling discount for second, third children off the price (although I could create a 2nd and 3rd child-priced ticket separately or as an add-on).

We’ll be processing payments via Stripe (through WooCommerce, if there isn’t a Stripe web-hook).

How does that sound?

Hello RC,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

That sounds awesome! 🙂

As a first, we always recommend to use the latest versions of our plugins as they are usually the most stable and bugs are being continuously squashed.

What you are looking for would be possible – at least partially – with our Event Tickets Plus plugin on top of the free The Events Calendar and Event Tickets. Note, you will also need an eCommerce plugin. Currently we support WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads.

Event Tickets Plus will allow you to set up tickets and collect extra attendee information – the details of the child. In your attendee list you will see both the purchaser information and the extra information collected. (screenshot) You can set up how much and what type of information you want. ET+ support Text filed, radio selector, checkboxes, and dropdown lists.

It is also possible to export the attendee list as a CSV file or send it via email.

With a bit of customization it could be achieved that the parent / payer information is not visible.

As for the discount for multiple children, as you said, you can set up additional tickets with reduced price. Or you might be able to achieve discount on multiple tickets through the eCommerce plugin and most probably an extension to that.

At the moment we don’t have built in payment options, so you would need to use WooCommerce. And you can use whatever payment gateway WooCommerce supports. That part is independent from our plugins.

I hope this answers your questions and if you should have any more, let them come. 🙂 I’d be happy to answer them for you.

Cheers,
Andras

Andras,
many thanks for that, the combination hits everything we need, as I hoped it would. We will have WooCommerce with Stripe gateway to underpin Events Calendar and Tickets Plus. Work starts tomorrow.

Much appreciated,

RC

RC, I’m stoked to hear that!

I am going to close this ticket, but if you need anything else related to this topic or another in the future please post a new one in the forum and we will be happy to help you out.

Good luck with your project!

Cheers,
Andras
