Will Events Calendar be suitable?

[Allan Jackson]

Hi There
I am looking for a way to publicise events in my town ranging from music performances to movies and exhibitions. The idea would be to get bands, venues and organisers to register and add events for free but charge them for extras such as links, videos and images. There might be large numbers of events going on simultaneously and I wondered if The Events Calendar offers a way of charging for adding events and whether it can handle large volumes of events.
Thank you
Allan

Thanks for reaching out, Allan.

While The Events Calendar and our other add-ons for it indeed sound useful for your project—and can generally handle large numbers of events as long as your web hosting is good-quality—there is one thing here that our plugins can’t currently do:

↑ This is not possible at this time.

This is not really possible, either:

At least, not with our plugins out-of-the-box. You could take our plugins and then do some customizations to them and/or integrate with other plugins, but that’s a project you’d have to embark on yourself.

Sorry disappoint on these two details! Please let me know if there are any other issues or questions I can try to help with.
