Hi,
Thanks for the interest in our plugins.
All plugins need the free version of the Events Calendar to work. That is the only requirement on our plugins.
So if you only want the features from WooCommerce Tickets that is all you need to buy. If you would like Pro features too then you would have to purchase that.
See my answer below for the rest:
Can I also remove the filter section so customers cant see it.
You are talking about the Search bar with Date, Search, and Location, correct? That can be turned off in the settings.
On the display tab look for this setting “Disable the Event Search Bar”
And where the customer sees “Events” can that be changed to “Courses”
We do not have this as a feature, but have a guide to do it:

Also I presume if I have for example 5 places available for 1 course that when the 5 tickets are sold no more will be able to be purchased.
Yes you can set stock limits, but the limits are per ticket and not per event as there is no global stock yet.
Let me know if you have any follow up questions.
Thanks
