Purchasing a package of various tickets

[phil]

HI there,

My client likes this product but we are wondering this:

They have 4 concerts a year that sell individual tickets in 2 types (concession and adult).

They also offer concert packages where you can purchase 2, 3, or 4 concert tickets in a package which reduces the price. You have to nominate which type (adult or concession package) and also which concerts you wish to attend. You can also purchase more than one concert package (1-infinity)

Is this something that can be managed within the Tickets Plugin?

Man thanks.

Hi Phil,

Thanks for getting in touch!

Event Ticket Plus will defintely allow you to create various types of tickets in a single event. So, your example of having both a Concession and an Adult ticket in the same event is totally possible.

However, what Event Tickets Plus does not offer right out of the box is offer bulk purchase discounts. Instead, you may have to look into a third-party solution to make it happen. For example, if you are using WooCommerce as the e-commerce plugin, then there is an extension called Bulk Discount that might help provide that functionality, though I have not personally tested it.

The second limitation I want to call out is that Event Tickets Plus is good for selling tickets but not so much for selling packages of tickets. You mentioned having the ability to sell a concert package, but Event Tickets Plus allows visitors to add tickets to the cart individually rather than adding multiple tickets in a pre-defined package. Again, there may be a WooCommerce extension (Product Bundles comes immediately to mind), but I wanted to be sure I mention that it is not a feature of Event Tickets Plus right out of the box.

Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know.

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi Geoff,

Thanks a lot for your very comprehensive feedback. This certainly helps and steers me in the right direction. I have used both your events plugins and they’re great and hoped I may be able to bundle up tickets. Anyway – many thanks!

My sincere pleasure, Phil!

I’m definitely sorry Event Tickets isn’t the best fit this time around, but I do appreciate knowing you love using The Events Calendar and I hope that Even Tickets will be a better fit down the road.

Thanks a ton for following up and definitely let us know if any other questions come up — we’d be happy to help.

Cheers,
Geoff
