WooTickets Multiple Ticket Purchases

[jamesharris90]

I have recently purchased a few product combinations to solve my buy online issues. One combination that looked the most promising was the Events Calendar Pro with Wootickets. I think I may have well purchased another combination that can’t quite do the job I need? (Not as bad as the recently launched WooCommerce Bookings!!) Our business is a sports coaching company and we run weekly football sessions drink the school term (usually blocks of 6 weeks). If someone books their child onto a football session it costs £5 for 1 week or £4 per week if they block book the entire 6 week term. The parents may book on multiple children at once as well. I have a basic set up working where a parent can book 1 week at a time and select multiple attendees (obviously without adding the individual attendee list – the holy grail of requests). The one thing I cannot seem to do is select multiple occurrences of one event.

If you visit https://www.tfsoccerschool.com/events/2014-06/ and select a Wednesday Session “TFSS at Havant Academy” it will allow you to book one week and adjust costs when you book additional children on. Is there no way I can have the customer select additional events with a click of a checkbox or something equally as simple?

Hi – great question!

I think the ultimate problem here is that you are trying to integrate ticketing with recurring events. That’s probably possible – as a customization – but out of the box I’m afraid WooCommerce Tickets does not support recurring events.

Is there no way I can have the customer select additional events with a click of a checkbox or something equally as simple?

In broad outline, you might query for future instances of the same event and create a checkbox-based form to add tickets for those additional events to the cart. I’m afraid we can’t assist much more than that with such a specific request, but it’s definitely a possibility.

As you can see here recurring event support for our ticketing plugins is a popular request and we’ve placed it on the roadmap. Definitely feel free to upvote it even so, though, as the number of customers in support of a given feature is an excellent metric.

Thanks!
