Hi Cara – great question!
Those plugins certainly can be used in conjunction with one another 🙂
What we want is to have registered event organizers be able to: create events with tickets, only see their own events on the back end, and have access to their attendees and check-in/out capabilities.
Combined together our plugins would certainly get you 95% of the way – organizers can submit events (via Community Events) and can view their events and their events only – but not in the backend, rather via a list made available by Community Events on the front end.
WooCommerce Tickets provides check in capabilities and an attendee list, however these are only exposed in the admin environment. So, in this case, you’d need to do some customization work to glue them together in the way you want but it’s far from impossible with a little creativity and dev know-how 🙂
The other question I have is about the ability to charge sales tax and/or other fees (without the ability for the event creator to change them). Would this be handled by woocommerce?
Exactly – and WooCommerce does have fairly comprehensive facilities in this regard, but it would be best to check in with them on that front if you need more details.
I hope that answers your questions but do let me know if I can help with anything else.
