Selling tickets with Community Events (Pre-purchase)

[Riccardo]

I’m aware that there’s a Community Tickets add-on, but I’d like to know if it’s necessary for my needs. This is the scenario:
– Events Calendar Pro+Event Tickets already installed
– In a very first release of site I will receive separately all the info from partners and I will personally create events and tickets
– the goal is to let partners create events (this is where Community Events will come handy, I’m considering to buy it), but I need to keep control of tickets (which will be site branded and invoiced, NOT partner branded). I’d like to know if, as site administrator, I can create tickets for events posted via Community Events or Community Tickets is mandatory.

Thanks

Hey @Stefano,

Thanks for reaching out!

What you describe should indeed be possible with JUST Community Events—you do not need Community Events Tickets for these features.

Essentially, what you can do is set the default status for submitted events to “Draft” when they are submitted. This is the default setting, but you can confirm this on your site by going to Events → Settings → Community in your wp-admin and ensuring the Default status for submitted events option is set to “Draft” (or “Pending Review”).

So then events will be submitted, and will not be published immediately. They’ll be “Drafts” in your wp-admin, which you can filter easily by using the filters like the one shown in this screenshot:

You can then edit these draft events in your wp-admin to manually add tickets as you describe, to your specific standards. Then you can save the tickets and “publish” the event, and the tickets will work just like normal.

I hope this helps!
George

Top notch support.
Thank you George, I’ll report to my client and surely go for Community Events 🙂

Awesome! Glad to hear I could help, @Stefano.

I’ll be closing this specific thread for now but please open a new thread any time if other issues ever arise.

Sincerely,
George
