Recurring Multi-day events

[Joanna]

I have read through the help desk/knowledgebase and I am still unsure if I can great an event that I need:

We hold classroom-based training, most of which occurs at the same start/end time for a grouping of back to back days (ex. Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm). What I need to do is create the same multi-day event (lets call it “Worker” class) at multiple times during the year; however, the customer only chooses one of these multi-day occurrences (they are not registering for each multi-day occurrence).

Here’s an example:

Worker Class
Monday, April 1st – Friday, April 5th
Monday, May 1st – Friday, May 5th
Monday, June 1st – Friday June 5th

The customer would see all of these available options, but only choose one block.

Is your platform capable of doing this?

Thanks

Hi Joanna,

Thanks for checking out our plugins!

You can create events that span multiple consecutive days (so an event that starts 8am Monday, April 1st and ends 5pm Friday, April 5th for example) using The Events Calendar, and you can add tickets to this event with Event Tickets or Event Tickets Plus. This would be the only way to sell tickets to all days in a class.

With Events Calendar Pro, you can use recurring events to create a series of events that occur daily from 8-5 April 1st – 5th. You can then add tickets to the series, but it is not currently possible to create tickets for individual dates within a series. So you would not be able to create an individual ticket for April 1, April 2, etc.

If I understand correctly, it sounds like you need users to register for a block of dates, but not all blocks of dates? If so, then you should be able to accomplish this using Events Calendar Pro and Event Tickets (if you would like to offer RSVP-style tickets or sell tickets through PayPal) or Event Tickets Plus (if you would like to sell tickets through WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads and get some additional features like the ability to collect additional information from attendees). You would create a series for each block and then add the tickets to the each series.

We do offer full refunds within 30 days of purchase, so if you’d like to take Event Tickets Plus and/or Events Calendar Pro for a test run, feel free to do so! Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thanks,

Jennifer

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!
