Variable products – Check in from mobiles – Multiple venues

[Vdos]

Hello!
I´m looking for a ticket plugin for a cinema festival.
In this project, the “events” are “movies”, which are sometimes screened more than once in different hours (variable product) and sometimes in different venues.
I´m using wordpress + woocommerce and the “single movies” are set up as “woocommerce products”. I would like to have the “buy tickets” button on the single product page (single movie).
Is Event Ticket Plus approppiate to do this?
I also wanted to know how the check-in process is handled…with an app?
Thanks in advance!

Hi. Vdos. Thanks for your interest in our plugin suite.

Event Tickets Plus (ET+) is our paid add-on plugin that upgrades the functionality of our free Event Tickets (ET) plugin.

Event Tickets Plus enables you to sell tickets via one of our supported eCommerce platforms. The free plugin only enables free RSVP-type tickets.

You can view our roundup/comparison of all the eCommerce plugins ET+ supports.

Our plugin uses your eCommerce plugin of choice, but your eCommerce plugin isn’t displayed for shopping pages. Please reference our Making Tickets KB article (screenshots are from an install using WooCommerce) for an idea how to create tickets for an event.

Do note, however, that ET+ does not support WooCommerce’s variable products functionality. We do have Global Stock functionality so you could create multiple tickets (e.g. Parent, Child, Senior Citizen) but limit total attendance to 100 (the global stock). These would appear as 3 different Products within WooCommerce’s wp-admin area, but none would appear in your front-end Shop by default.

Site visitors would purchase tickets from each event’s single page/view (e.g. http://wpshindig.com/event/events-tickets-demo/) — if there is an RSVP to submit or ticket to purchase.

The order confirmation email will include a QR code that can be scanned to “check in” someone at the door at the time of the event. It could be displayed on their mobile device or they could print it like any other email. You can read more at Tickets: Managing your orders and attendees.

You could also Display a List of Attendee’s Events.

If your tickets will be free, you don’t need QR code check-in, and you don’t need to collect additional information other than name and email address, you likely could just use the free/core Event Tickets plugin.

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.

Bonus: You can use our free Relabeler extension to change “Events” to “Showings” or whatever you like around your site.

I hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.
