Priority Booking

[Russell]

I want to be able to feature priority booking to people who have previously booked tickets. When the event goes on sale I want to be able to only allow these people to book, for a period of time. How can i achieve this ? Maybe using a coupon or something ?

Please advise.

URGENT.

Hi Russel,

Unfortunately this is not a feature that is available out of the box. I suppose one possible way to achieve this would be to set up a members-only calendar (see this article for more information), and then include events with a certain category. Once you want to open the event up to everyone, you could remove the category so that everyone could see it and purchase tickets. Of course, this would be aimed at people who have accounts and are logged in; targeting only users who have made purchases before would require a customization.

Another method would be to handle this on the WooCommerce side (since tickets are essentially WooCommerce products). I did a little bit of research and found the following resources:

Product Password Protector Plugin for WooCommerce (I have not tested this out)

Creating a Members-Only WooCommerce Store

Finally, this could be done with a code customization to the plugin – If you’d like to give it a shot, our themer’s guide is the place to start. We also have a list of recommended developers if you’d like to get help with the code. I would recommend taking a look at this article on admin roles and permissions as they relate to events.

I would also recommend posting this as a request over in our Feature Ideas Forum, which is what we use to gauge user interest in new features and help guide future development efforts.

I’m sorry I don’t have a more straightforward answer for you here, but I hope this helps! If you have any questions, please let me know!

Thanks,

Jennifer
