ticket sales for class packs

[Emily]

Hi,

I run an organization with several leaders who teach classes. We would like to sell tickets for our classes, also sell class passes (that aren’t necessarily tied to an event), and allow people to register for a paid event without paying for it (because they bought a class pass). If possible, we’d also like to allow each leader to be paid separately, instead of the organization getting paid and then having to sort through the income to cut checks to each leader.

Are these features possible with any of your products?

Thanks,
Emily

Hey Emily,

Thanks for getting in touch and for your interest in our products 🙂

So to sell tickets for events you’ll need to install The Events Calendar + Event Tickets + Event Tickets Plus + an e-commerce platform of your choice (WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, Shopp or WP-Ecommerce). That set-up will cover the basic functionality of selling tickets for events (classes), lets look into the particularities…

I think that the best for this would be to sell ‘coupons/gift cards’ as a separate product. Then purchasers can use the coupon to book the class whenever they want. Maybe an add-on for the e-commerce platform will help you generating/managing the coupons.

instead of the organization getting paid and then having to sort through the income to cut checks to each leader.

We have an add-on called Community Tickets which allows split payment for community submitted events. I think this might be a bit of an overkill for your case, but take a look at the products page to if it will work for you. Maybe an add-on for the e-commerce platform will cover this functionality. Something like PayPal Adaptive Payments for WooCommerce might help you achieving this, I’m mostly sure there should be similar add-ons for the other platforms.

To sum up, our ticketing plugins just connect events with tickets (products), but once the product is in the cart it’s handled by the e-commerce plugin including the checkout, coupons and such. That’s why in your case it’s solved more on the “e-commerce” side than the “events/tickets” side.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with,
Best,
Nico

Hey Emily,

If you want to try the plugins out, you can go ahead and buy them to test them on a dev site. If you are not happy whit the result, you can ask for a full refund within 30 days of purchase.

Glad to be of service, if you have any other doubts at any point let me know about it,

Best,
Nico
