Plugin Required

[Russell]

Hi

Can you recommend a plugin to help please:

I need to be able to ensure for an event, customers only buy one ticket price.

e.g, Customers can purchase tickets at 3 different tickets prices currently. I don’t want them to be able to mix, but only buy one ticket price in any booking.

Please advise – URGENT

Hey Russell,

Welcome back — hope you’re doing well!

This does take a bit of custom development. I wrote up a quick script that seemed to do the trick, though I did not test it extensively and you can try adding it to your functions.php file:

/* Tribe, limit ticket quantity */
function tribe_limit_tickets() {
?>

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready( function( $ ) {
// do this if tickets available
if ( $('.tribe-events-tickets').length ) {
// set max qty to 1
$('.tribe-events-tickets .input-text').attr('max', 1);
// run on input change
$('.tribe-events-tickets .input-text').change ( function ( ) {
// don't run the manually triggered change event
if ( $(this).val() == 0 ) return;
// make sure it's not more than 1
if ( $(this).val() > 1 ) $(this).val(1);
// change all inputs but this to 0
// manually trigger the change event so available stock gets updated
$('.tribe-events-tickets .input-text').not( $(this) ).val(0).change();
});
// add a oninput event
$('.tribe-events-tickets .input-text').on('input', function (e) {
$(this).change();
});
}
});
</script>

<?php
}
add_action('wp_head', 'tribe_limit_tickets');

We are limited in how much we can support custom development questions like this, but I hope this does the trick or at least helps get the ball rolling to give you something to work with.

Cheers!
Geoff

Thanks. What does the script do exactly?

Kind Regards,

Russell Scott

Hi Russell,

That script looks for the quantity inputs on the page and attempts to limit the number of tickets a person can add to one.

Cheers,
Geoff

[Russell]

That’s not what i am requesting.

So there are 3 ticket prices per event.

If someone buys from one ticket price, I do not want them to be able to buy tickets from another ticket price for that particular event.

e.g. 21st Oct in St. Albans there are £29, 34 and £39 tickets. If they buy 4 @ £29 I don’t want them to be able to also buy 2 @ £39. It’s one price band only per event per order.

Hi Russell,

 

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, I am afraid the snippet I provided will not do that exactly. I’m also afraid that I do not have another script that will accomplish that, nor was I able to find any other threads that might provide help.

The snippet hopefully should at least give you a decent starting point for this customization though. Given that it already looks for the ticket quantity input and sets a maximum limit, it needs to be tailored so that it recognizes when one input is greater than 1 and then sets a maximum of 0 on all others.

Sorry I don’t have a concrete solution for you here, but will this at least help get you started?

Thanks.
Geoff

[Russell]

Ah I see. A shame really.

[Geoff]

Yeah, so sorry about that.

It is a really interesting idea, though, and might make for a good feature request.

Sorry again I was unable to offer a solid solution for this customization. I’ll go ahead and close this thread but let us know if any other questions come up and we’d be happy to help.

Cheers and have a great weekend,
Geoff
