Set Event Over Multiple Non-continous dates

[Neil]

Hi,

How would I set up an event over multiple dates which are not continuous?

Hey Neil,

Thanks for reaching out.

At this time, the best way to do this is to literally just create one event per event instance. If there is not pattern of continuity or recurrence, then our recurrence engine will likely have a tough time accommodating it.

Would you be interested in sharing more information about a specific event you’re trying to configure? What are all of the dates on which it recurs? Despite my comments above, our recurrence engine does have a “custom” recurrence feature and your event’s configurations may be supported by Events Calendar Pro’s recurring events feature. I’m happy to take a look at your event’s dates and see if I can recommend a specific set of recurrence rules.

Cheers!

Hi George

I have an event that is 3 in a series – they are on different days with different topics, you can either sign up for each one individually, or if you sign up for all three you get a discount.

I am using Event Tickets plus – so I can set the individual ones up but not sure how to add the offer for someone who wants all the 3 events at a discounted price.

Cheers
Neil

Hey Neil,

Thanks for elaborating a bit here.

There are two main approaches I can think of here:

1. You could make one single event whose start time is the starting time of the first day of the event series, and whose end time is the ending time of the very last event—the third and final event in the series. In other words, one sinle multi-day event that represents the whole series. Then, you can add four different ticket options to this single event. One called “day one”, one called “day two”, one “day three”—and then a fourth option called “all days” or something like that. Then folks can buy whichever option they see fit…

2. Alternatively, you could make 3 different events: one for each of the three days. On each event, then, you would just have two ticket options. For example, on day One you would have a ticket option for just that day, but then also have an option for “all days”.

If option 2 is chosen here, there is unfortunately no way to share the ticket stock of all of the “all days” options. The stock management and attendees management for tickets are only for one event at a time, so you can’t link stocks or attendees for a ticket option over multiple events at this time.

I hope this information helps!

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
