Questions on funcionality

[Manuel]

Dear Sir, Dear Madam,
I’m a theater director and I’m assessing to use the events calendar for our webpage.

A) Event Calendar
In our theater we have productions that last for 3-4 weeks. In this period, 15 to 25 times the production will be played.
I understand that I need to create as many events as the show goes life.

1) Can I duplicate an event once I’ve filled in the information for the first one?
2) Once I have created 25 events of the same show (with the same description, the same images, the same title etc) but with different times and dates, is it possible to modify all of them together if I need to change some information?
Let’s say, the title changes slitely. Is it possible to select them and to aply a change to all of them?
3) In a theatre season we might have 10 different productions (plays). Each of them will be scheduled for 20 events.
Is it possible to configure the event calendar to show (filter) in frontend the list of all events of a single production?

B) Ticketing:
I would like to have the possibility to prebook tickets to be payed at the theatre at pickup and to have a booking and payment service with online payment as well.
I would like to implement special online offers to sell online cheaper than at the box office of the theater.

4) Is it possibile to have booking and shoping simultaniously?
5) I would like to treat custumer differently. Those that are only prebooking tickets without payment online should not have access to the online ticket prices. Is it possible configure the ticket ordering process clearly in this matter?
6) Am I obliged to fill in start and end date / time for each single ticket fare?

I hope my question is clear.
Here an example:

Customer that want to book only without online payment can book tickets that will cost 12,00€ at the boxoffice.
Custumer that want to pay directly will get the same ticket for 10,00€

Language

Is it possible to generate an internet site in two or more languages? What kind of language plugin is compartible with the event calendar?

costs
Is the single licence fee an annual fee or is it one shot only?

Thank you very much for your time

Hi! 😀

1) Can I duplicate an event once I’ve filled in the information for the first one?

No, our plugins do not provide a “duplication” feature; each event must be manually filled out.

2) Once I have created 25 events of the same show (with the same description, the same images, the same title etc) but with different times and dates, is it possible to modify all of them together if I need to change some information?

If you have a recurring event, you can change the first event and update the whole series of events. (https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-recurring-events/)

But for anything that is not a recurring event, no, you cannot do this.

3) In a theatre season we might have 10 different productions (plays). Each of them will be scheduled for 20 events.
Is it possible to configure the event calendar to show (filter) in frontend the list of all events of a single production?

Yes, you can do this with Events Calendar Pro’s recurring events feature: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-recurring-events/

Our ticketing plugins do not come with out-of-the-box support for “pre-booking” or anything like that.

As for selling special discounts, you can do this with WooCommerce itself, using WooCommerce’s “Coupon Codes” feature. Learn more here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/coupon-management/

This is not something our plugins support.

6) Am I obliged to fill in start and end date / time for each single ticket fare?

No, but if you leave those fields blank, it will be automatically set to the start/end times of the event itself.

---

Is it possible to generate an internet site in two or more languages? What kind of language plugin is compartible with the event calendar?

WPML is compatible with The Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro to generate multilingual sites, however our ticketing plugins currently do not support WPML or any other multilingual plugin at this time.

---

Is the single licence fee an annual fee or is it one shot only?

Licenses are an annual fee that must be renewed every year.

I hope these answers are helpful! 😀

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!
