Hi Glen,
Thanks for checking out Community Events!
While it is possible to charge fees for tickets sold on events submitted through the front end form (using Community Tickets), it is not currently possible to charge for submitting the event itself. This is a feature that we are planning to add in the future, but for the time being, what you might do is us a third-party plugin to handle paid membership functionality and within the settings of Community Events, limit event submissions to users who are logged in.
We do offer full refunds within 30 days of purchase, so if you’d like to take Community Tickets for a test run, feel free to do so! Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thanks,
Jennifer
