Seats as product variants

[Ondrej Klima]

Hi,

I’ve been searching for a while and could not find any answer to this..

Is it possible to switch ticket to product with variants and create vartiants list like S1 | S2 | .. S[n] , and set stocks to 1 for each, to create sort of seating feature? Would it be possible to allow some dropdown menu that is required for each product in basket?

Would help a lot 🙂

Thank you

Hello @Ondrej,

Great question!

It is certainly possible to create as many tickets as your would like for any given event. So, yes, you could totally create a ticket for each seat with quantity 1 and then sell them as seats.

The dropdown is something that would take some custom development, though, You could override the ticket form template (more on template overrides in our Themer’s Guide) and then change the markup in the template so that tickets are created in a dropdown rather than a table format.

Does that sounds like what you’re looking for? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

Well, I was thinking about a ticket with variants. Like Ticket “A” that has qty of 1 for every variant (each variant = seat).
The way suggested by you seems ok too but is there any way to mass generate tickets with some custom property? And I have very little imagination of how to create some sensful way to create UI for shopping then..

Any ideas?

Thank you

I’m not entirely sure if it would work, but I wonder if the Variable Product extension for WooCommerce might help for something like this. If it does, then you could theoretically create one ticket with many variations.

And, instead of using our ticket form to add the ticket to the cart, you could link to the built-in product page for that ticket in WooCommerce, which would have the UI you need for guests to select their ticket option.

Just a guess, but might be worth looking into!

I’ll try and let you know in a few days, ok? It might be worth creating this option as a simple seating system. I believe that linking default product template anywhere should not be so hard :).

[Geoff]

Definitely keep me posted!

Yeah, and linking the default product template wouldn’t be too much of a lift. 🙂
