To create packages and bonos, vocuchers, reminders and cancellations

[Poncela]

Hello:

I have a few pre-sale question and I would be very grateful if you can help me. I searched the rest of the comment but could not actually find an answer.

I am planing to use The Events Calendar with the Enfold theme to sell tickekts for different events in different venues and in different location but all of them will be linked.

What I need is set this type of prices:

a) Single ticket for single event. 10 USD A user wants to attend any event, he go to the event page and boughts a single ticket (he pays 10 USD) That´s it

b) Bono tickets 5 events 45 USD. He pays 45 USD, get a CODE and will have the right to attend 5 events. Tonight he wants to attend an event, go to the event page and at the moment of the payment he introduces his CODE, he goes to the venue at the time of the event. That´s it Then he will have the right to attend another 4 events at his choice.

c) The same as b) but with 10 events, 20 events…..

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Q1- Can I do this with The Events Calendar and the Enfold theme? If so, what product recommend me?

Q2- Can I generate vouchers code to make different discounts, 5%, 10%…?

Q3- Does the Events Calendar provide any kind of email confirmation to the attendees of the event?

Q4- What happen if an attendee cannot attend the event? Can they cancell the event? If so What happen with the price they paid?

Q5- Can I set a minimum of attendees to run the event?

Q5 – Can I create recurrent events?

Q6- What happend if the organizer needs to cancell the event?

Q7- What payment gateways support The Event Calendar?

Thank you very much

Hi Poncela. Thanks for your detailed questions. I’ll try to address the major points.

To enable recurring events functionality, you’ll need our Pro add-on. Of course, it adds much more functionality than just recurring events.

Our free Event Tickets plugin enables free RSVP tickets for The Events Calendar (also works with other custom post types). If you want to charge for an event, you’d need an e-commerce plugin (e.g. WooCommerce) and our Event Tickets Plus (ET+) add-on. Anytime someone RSVPs or buys a ticket (ET or ET+), they get emailed their ticket, which even includes a QR code (please read that entire article for a lot more information).

Our ET+ plugin doesn’t have any payment gateways of its own. Instead, it leverages your e-commerce plugin for checkout. (Note: tickets for recurring events isn’t currently supported but should be implemented eventually.)

For your scenario of buying a “tickets pack/bundle”, you could create such a product via WooCommerce, have them shop your WooCommerce shop, buy a 5 pack for $45 and basically they just purchased 5 coupon codes. Then, when they browse your events (not your WooCommerce shop), they pick the event they go to and at checkout enter a coupon code.

One potential issue might be if an event has 3 tickets (e.g. Orchestra $70, Mezzanine $30, Balcony $10). Are the 5 coupon codes basically just $10 off a single event (e.g. Orchestra is now $60 at checkout) or a percentage? That’s for you to decide and setup, as this functionality isn’t natively part of our ET+ plugin.

For event cancelations / ticket refunds (for whatever reason), ET+ has an Attendees page to view and modify tickets. The money-side of the refund would be handled by your e-commerce plugin.

===

All that being said, we have a pretty great Refund Policy so you can buy one or many of our add-ons and thoroughly test them.

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.
