Selling ticket packs with different shows

[Johanne Britton]

Hello,

I’ve been trying to find a solution for this problem.

The situation is I have 2, 3 and 4 ticket packs to sell. I want to be able to go into that product, pick 2, 3 or 4 different shows and then have an option to pick the show dates.

So for example I want a 3 pack. I choose shows A, B and C. ( I cannot choose AAB or CBB, it must be different) Ideally, once I’ve chosen a show, a dropdown menu that gave me the dates for that show. Or once I’ve chosen all three dates, the show lists appears, a dropdown menu is prompted and then they choose the date.

Right now, I have it set up with Custom fields so the check the show and enter Manually the date and time. I was wondering if there was a way for a list specific to a category can be created.

I’ve also tried with grouped products but I would have to link all the shows and add the dates to the title.

You can see my dabbles here: http://geordie.jjspress.com/product/teen-3-ticket-pack/

I’ve also included a link from another discussion and what they were looking for is very similar to what I want.

Attach tickets to multiple events.

Hope this makes sense and looking forward to hearing from you.

Cheers

Jo

Hey Jo,

Thanks for reaching out! Our ticketing plugins unfortunately don’t support the sorts of details and ticketing arrangements you describe at this time. 🙁

The only way to even approximate the sort of behavior you describe here would be very, very extensive code customization:

So for example I want a 3 pack. I choose shows A, B and C. ( I cannot choose AAB or CBB, it must be different) Ideally, once I’ve chosen a show, a dropdown menu that gave me the dates for that show. Or once I’ve chosen all three dates, the show lists appears, a dropdown menu is prompted and then they choose the date.

I’m sorry to disappoint! Let me know if there’s anything else I can try to help with.

Sincerely,
George

Hi George,

Thank you for the reply. Yes extensive coding I know!

I was wondering the is there a way to make the date appear on the product on the shopping cart?

For example, my shopping cart is a bunch of tickets from different shows and dates. But when displayed you only see the name, not the event that it’s related to. Or would the option be to put the info in the title?

thank you

Jo

Hey Johanne,

Thanks for your followup. Adding event information to the cart is unfortunately another customization. 🙁

We cannot help with customizations even for license-holding members on our premium forums. Since this forum here that you’re in is our free “Pre-Sales” forum, we can’t tell if you have a license or not, so I will close this thread after this reply because we cannot offer technical support in the “Pre-Sales” forum.

If you have other, non-customization questions after this, please log into your account that has a premium license and post in premium forums.

Now, as for your question, like I mentioned it’s another customization unfortunately. 🙁 We have a knowledgebase article here, though, that covers how to add ticket information to cart details ? https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/adding-the-event-date-to-ticket-emails/

Now, that article specifies emails, so you might wonder why I’m sharing it for the shopping cart. The reason is that the action being used, woocommerce_order_item_name, can basically just be swapped out for another action that targets the cart specifically; the rest of the code and remain basically as-is.

An action that might work well is woocommerce_cart_item_name. Check this out in this file within WooCommerce to see what function arguments you need:

wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/cart/cart.php

Tinker around with this information, research the WooCommerce actions needed here, and be sure to keep backups of your custom code so that you don’t lose it in a plugin update! 😀

Best of luck with your modifications,
George
