Question before purchasing Events Calendar Pro

[jdlitchfield]

Hello,
I am tasked with recreating this website
http://www.abromhead.co.uk/manual-handling-train-the-trainer.asp
in WordPress and I have just purchased the Tickets plugin and am very impressed BUT….

What I really need to do is create MULTIPLE events (recurring perhaps?) against the same course so all the description is the same but the dates and location change.

Will the PRO version allow me to do this? Can I set 10 tickets on each event and then show how many are left on an event by event basis?

This is critical to buying the PRO version – is there any other way of achieving it other than duplicating every event and making a long list and having to create the ticket type each time?

Hi.

Our ticketing product also doesn’t currently support PRO’s recurring events.

If you start to create a ticket for a recurring event, there will be a little question mark notice that reads:

Currently, tickets will only show up on the frontend once per full event. For PRO users this means the same ticket will appear across all events in the series. Please configure your events accordingly.

You should add your vote to this existing feature request for Event Tickets to support PRO’s recurring events.

Something some users are doing right now is using PRO’s recurring events to populate their events calendar but then breaking each occurrence from the series to turn them into single events — basically using PRO as an event generator but not actually using its recurring events functionality on the front-end. Others are just dealing with the tickets on recurring events even though you can’t then tell which occurrence they reserved the ticket for… use this information for your own reference but please don’t take it as any sort of recommendation.

Last but not least, we have Bundles and a pretty great Refund Policy so you can buy one or many of our add-ons and thoroughly test them.

I hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

So if I buy the recurring events plugin would that at least be able to try it out and get a refund if I can’t get it to work?
Is there a short-code at least so I could have ONE course and show all of the events that use this COURSE (perhaps by category or something)
Then I don’t mind if they need to go to the individual event page to use the Ticket buying part?

Does that make sense?

[Cliff]

Yup, you can buy to try… and yes visitors would have to go to each event’s individual page to get tickets.

I’m unsure what you mean by “ONE course…” but maybe this video could help: https://cl.ly/0G0b3C1S2i3M (5 minutes)

Or https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/can-you-have-multiple-calendars/

Also, you could use one of our plugin’s widgets or shortcodes, each of which have the ability to filter by a certain Event Category or Post Tag.

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions on this topic.

Hello,
Thanks for this.
So I have purchased Pro and am getting there with a way round things BUT
I have created a ticket type against an event with the price the details etc. Is it possible to copy this event in such a way that everything stays the same (identical) apart from the date and location which I will change.

I tried using Post Duplicator which copies the event but not the ticket information.

Would the importer plugin that you have be able to auto choose the ticket selections?

Happy to provide login as I now have a page here
http://beta.abromhead.co.uk/manual-handling-train-the-trainer/

You’ll see 17th August doesn’t have any pricing information on it.

Finally is there a simple view which can just list the events in rows with the basic details. I’m not feeling the way it does it at the moment?

Thanks
James

Thanks for trying us out!

Duplicating Events:

I believe you’re requesting the same thing as one of our existing feature requests: https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/3874714-duplicate-events

Please do add your vote there. This allows us to gauge interest in this particular feature request, which helps us prioritize our development efforts.

Copying Tickets from one Event to another:

Note that there’s currently no way to copy a ticket from one event to another. This is a bummer for situations where you have a theater production, for example, that sells the same tickets each performance ($100 Orchestra, $70 Mezzanine, $50 Balcony)… you’d create a separate event per performance and then have to recreate these 3 tickets manually on each of these events.

Table View

We do not currently provide a table/spreadsheet type view. The List View is the closest thing. However, https://barn2.co.uk/events-calendar-table-list/ exists (third-party, not guaranteed or supported by us)

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions on this topic.

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. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
