Tiered Ticketing With Global Stock Help

[Nick]

Hi,

I have setup 6 events on my site, each with tickets setup within them and all have a sell limit of 200.
3 of these events have tiered ticket pricing with a global stock limit set and are as follows;

Gold tickets – 65 available
Silver tickets – 65 available
Bronze tickets – 70 available

Whereas the other 3 events simply have the one ticket level available to purchase (non-tiered). – This is all fine.

We also require special tiered passes for the festival which allows the customer to buy a tiered ticket that gives them access to all 6 events from their pass. Again, these have the same stock limits as there are only 65/70 places available for each tier;

Gold Festival Pass – £85.00 – 65 available
Silver Festival Pass – £70.00 – 65 available
Bronze Festival Pass – £55.00 – 70 available

For example, if I purchase a Gold Festival Pass, this will give me access to the 3 non-tiered events and then also give me the Gold ticket access within the 3 tiered events. It will then reduce the stock limit of 65 Gold tickets/festival passes down to 64, then in the same event take the global limit down from 200 to 199 tickets, and finally take the other, non-tiered events, down from 200 to 199 tickets also.

This will need to work with the Silver and Bronze Festival passes too.

Please let me know if you require any further context and I will liaise as much as possible.

Any support on the matter would be greatly appreciated as I have had a look through the documentation/knowledgebase and can’t find any help on how to set this up.

Thanks.

Hello Nick,

Thanks for using our plugins and for reaching out to us with your question!

It took me some time to get my head wrapped around the question, but eventually I managed. :o)

I believe there is no easy, out-of-the-box solution for this. It could be possible though. Here is my idea. I take it you are using WooCommerce.

So you set up the 6 events with the tickets as explained above – 3 tiered with 3 tickets, and 3 non-tiered.

The Tickets for the events are WooCommerce products and have a stock there.

Then in WooCommerce you can set up 3 product bundles for the Festival Passes. (You might need an extra WooCommerce extension for this.)

As an extra, you can set up the events / event tickets, that they don’t sell on the event page, but rather on a WooCommerce product page. (Guide for that.)

One catch though, this likely will not do changes to the global stock settings of 200, so that might require a bit of extra development. Unfortunately we are very limited in doing and supporting customizations like that, but I can share with you a list of freelancers who could help you out. They are well known in our community and are not affiliated with us in any way.

I hope this helps you get started. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Cheers,
Andras
