Selling multi-event tickets with single event tickets

[Anna]

I’ve got a series of 3 classes coming up. Each class is listed as a distinct event. Each class has its own ticket. I also want to sell a 3-class ticket which covers all 3 classes (at a discounted rate).
At the moment I do this by listing both the 3-class ticket and the single class ticket on the event page for the first class. But ideally, I’d like to have the 3-class ticket listed to buy on the event pages of the second and third classes too.
So I have two questions:
Is there a way to have that 3-class ticket listed for sale on all 3 events?
Is there a way for the ticket sales of the 3-class ticket to affect the stock levels of the single class tickets?

Good evening Anna and welcome back!

First off, I would like to apologize for the delay answering.

Please rest assured that we are working hard at correcting this situation.
We appreciate your patience while we try to normalize things.

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

Is there a way to have that 3-class ticket listed for sale on all 3 events? Is there a way for the ticket sales of the 3-class ticket to affect the stock levels of the single class tickets?

The are 2 ways to do this.

1. Using the recurring events functionality.

   You could totally take advantage to the current limitation of how these 2 plugins integrate together at the time of writing. To make a long story by all the tickets are shared between all events.

   You could hide the unwanted tickets in each individual event using CSS.

   The pros: very easy to create + you literally have the same 3 class ticket for each displayed in each class event.

   The cons: does not really offer the global stock option (you will have to keep track of this entirely manually + some CSS might be required

2. Simply doing a “copy” of what you did on the 2 other events.

   The pros: You will be able to use the global stock option on each class event (between the class event ticket and the 3 day class ticket) + No CSS required

   The cons:  The 3 class ticket will not really be shared between the different class events (in reality it is just a “copycat”, not the same ticket) + you will still need to adjust the global stocks manually on each class event to make sure you do not overbook.

I realize none of these solutions are perfect, but I would tend to prefer the second one for now.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!
