Sell Tickets with Events Tickets Plus w/ WooCommerce

[Steve Christiansen]

We are current users of The Events Calendar Pro with the Avada theme. We are interested in selling tickets to some of our concerts using the installed WooCommerce plugin. We already sell physical CDs of the choir’s recordings. We want a solution that will allow us to sell tickets at various price points and believe that Event Tickets Plus will do this. We wish to mail physical ticket orders and not allow ticket buyers to print their own tickets – we have our reasons. Can we do this with Event Tickets Plus?

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your interest in our plugins 🙂

Using Event Tickets + Event Tickets Plus + an ecommerce platform of your choice (WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, WP-Ecommerce or Shopp), you can sell tickets in your site. You can create different tickets types (with different prices) for each event.

We wish to mail physical ticket orders and not allow ticket buyers to print their own tickets.

By default tickets are emailed to the buyer once the order is complete, but you can cancel this behaviour (with a little code snippet) and do it your way.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with,
Best,
Nico

Nico,

Thank you for your initial response. Suppressing the printing of tickets will be important to us.

1. What is the code snippet for suppressing ticket printing and where is it inserted?

2. We will also want to add a shipping and handling cost to each ticket order that is mailed. Can this be done?

Thanks for following up Steve!

1. What is the code snippet for suppressing ticket printing and where is it inserted?

It depends on which e-commerce plugin your site will use, for example this is the code for WooCommerce:
add_filter( 'wootickets-tickets-email-enabled', '__return_false' );
The code should be placed in your theme (or child theme) functions.php file.

2. We will also want to add a shipping and handling cost to each ticket order that is mailed. Can this be done?

This can be configured in the e-commerce plugin settings. Tickets become regular products of the e-commerce platform and have the same options as default products.

Best,
Nico
