Selling tickets for exhibition with time slots (workaround for recurring events?

[Sally Pilkington]

Hi,

I’m trying to figure out is this plugin is suitable for my needs, and figure it’s easiest just to list them briefly for you to suggest if this could work. I’m aware that the Event Tickets Plus plugin doesn’t support recurring events, but I wonder if there is a workaround, even if is creating a unique event for each timeslot?

Using Woocommerce
Selling tickets to an exhibition which allows 4 people per 20 min time slot.
15 – 20 mins (approx – 15 slots per day – 2pm – 6.15)
Full price / concession / possible discount for family
Reminder emails – 1 week in advance? (done as variable product?)
Calendar to show time slots, availability and number of tickets available in each slot – in a clear visual way.

If you could let me know what is/isn’t possible that would be great.

Many thanks
Sally

Hi Sally,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

Great questions, thanks for the details. I’d be happy to answer them for you.

Since there is no support for “recurring tickets” you would need to set up at least unique tickets for all time slots. If you have multiple ticket options (full price, discounted, etc.), then those need to be separately set up as well.

If you have 3 different ticket types and 15 slots per day, that would be 45 tickets per day.

So it’s possible with our plugins, with some work.

I’m thinking it might be better to simply use WooCommerce variable products: an event is a product with variable prices reflecting the different ticket types and time slots. (Event Tickets Plus does not support variable products.)

In this case if you want to show the product on an event page then you will need some custom development for that.

Does this help somewhat?

Cheers,
Andras
