I have been looking at this platform for some time. I initially decided on a different route but as our strategies have changed so has our platform need.

I believe the following is what I need to purchase to accomplish what I am looking to accomplish

-event tickets – free
-events ticket plus $89.00
-community events $89.00
-community tickets $149.00

I’m looking to have a calendar system we can have administrators enter in events but also make available for users to enter in events. We’re looking for ticketing to be managed or self managed by the user, and a means for that user (our client) to check in tickets at their events.

my questions:

1. Are there other modules (event calendar pro?) that are required to make this work? aka do i need Events Cal Pro to make Community Events work? Or will the above list suffice to enable a fully functioning system allowing registered users to establish events and ticketing for their event with minimal direct involvement?

2. Will my users be able to setup the sale of their event and tickets to the event on their own with the right privileges without moderation? or will there always be an admin role required to connect the ecommerce solution?

3. Is EventBrite required to sell tickets or just an option?

I’ve been reading your site all weekend to get my head around this and am hoping you can help me with these questions. This looks like a solid tool that has room for some enterprise potential. I did have some additional enterprise questions but email support refused to answer and stated I was required to ask my questions on a public forum which is unfortunate.

Good evening Michael and welcome back!

Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.

1. Are there other modules (event calendar pro?) that are required to make this work? aka do i need Events Cal Pro to make Community Events work? Or will the above list suffice to enable a fully functioning system allowing registered users to establish events and ticketing for their event with minimal direct involvement?

The list above should be sufficient for what you are trying to do. Unless you are interested in some of the Events Calendar Pro’s features, you do not need it.

That being said, I believe you can save a bit of money by going for the following bundle: https://theeventscalendar.com/bundles/bundle-community-manager/

2. Will my users be able to setup the sale of their event and tickets to the event on their own with the right privileges without moderation? or will there always be an admin role required to connect the ecommerce solution?

Yes, your users will be able to be autonomous in setting up their tickets. You control that via the following settings: https://theeventscalendar.com/content/uploads/2015/10/settings1.png

3. Is EventBrite required to sell tickets or just an option?

No, Eventbrite is not required to sell tickets. In fact they are not currently supported in the context of Community Tickets.
Furthermore, that is actually a completely separate premium add-on: https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-eventbrite-tickets/

So in short, you do not need it 🙂

Please let me know if you have any additional question on this topic.

Best regards,

Geoff B.

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.
