Recurring Events with a one-time fee

[EDSNA Director]

Hello Events Calendar team,

We have a client who we are building a website for, and we’re using a combination of your plugins, including the free version of the Events Calendar and Events Tickets Plus. Our client runs recurring sessions of support groups in which the client pays a one time fee, and attends 7 to 9 weeks of events. I am aware your Calendar Plus extension accommodates recurring events, but can you tell me if there is a way to apply a single fee to a series of events?

Thanks,

Ashwin

Hi, Ashwin. In short, no, ET+ does not support PRO’s recurring events. In essence, this is because it currently works just how you’re wanting it to… but I can’t guarantee that it will forever in the future.

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.

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!
The Events Calendar Support Team
