Variable pricing using Woocommerce Ticket plugin

[Ajay Gilbert]

Hi again

Back in the day I was disappointed that such a promising set-up for us didn’t allow variable pricing for an event (see https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/which-of-your-ticketing-add-ons-allows-for-variable-pricing-for-same-event/)

But after months of frustration trying to find an alternative, I checked again and it seems you do now offer variable pricing. Is this true? Can you point me to a demo of this please?

You blurb says it can: Add multiple tickets (free and/or paid) to any event

but I don’t just want ability for various quantities but different pricing levels…

Hope that’s clear.
Thanks
AJ

Hi Ajay. Thanks for linking to your previous support forum thread.

About 1 minute into the video demo at https://theeventscalendar.com/tickets/ you can see what it looks like to add multiple tickets to an event (e.g. Senior Citizen is Free, Youth is $10, Adult is $15).

However, in the wp-admin area, they’re 3 separate WooCommerce products, not 1 product with 3 variations.

Here’s an example of the wp-admin WooCommerce products area after adding 3 such tickets via the Events Calendar’s Tickets add-on, in case it helps:

Does that clear things up for you?

Thanks for the somewhat encouraging reply!

2 things:

1 – having to use 3 separate products instead of variations means we can’t limit the number of total bookings so easily (as we can’t predict which type of ticket will sell more than others) 🙁
The video you linked to (at 1:47) shows a ticketed event being created but I saw no clues as to how to add additional tickets at different prices there – or do you just click on ‘add new ticket’ again?

2 – how do these differing prices show up in the events calendar? One calendar I tried only showed the most expensive price, which is no use. The demo calendar you show only seems to have free events…

thanks
Ajay

1)

For overall capacity limit, we do have that as a UserVoice request that you could add your vote to. You could also choose to use the Eventbrite Tickets add-on (set the event’s overall capacity in Eventbrite).

Yup, click “Add new ticket” button as many times as you want.

2)

 

Last but not least, 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.

Thanks for the helpful info. I’m gonna give it a go!

Super! Thanks for letting me know.
