Mike – sounds good I’d love to hear more about that solution. When is your next event – let us know how it goes. Perhaps we could team up and turn it in to a standalone customisation.

In the mean time, time is running out for me I’ve having to buy Event Espresso. I’ve decided to run it on a subdomain just for the purchase of tickets for a certain event, so I can still use the Events Calendar for people to search for events on my main site. Shame I’ve had to go this route but it was my only option really.

Thanks Brian. I will drop you an email for that developer list.

Leaving this open in case someone wants to chime in 🙂

Hi Barry, sorry for the delay I’ve been away.

To confirm this was on a fresh WP install so no other stuff.

With WC2 – NO ticket section on the events page at all (the bit where you select no of tickets)
Switch back to WC everything fine.

Barry – thanks for the response. I feel for you, this after all is a ‘ticketing’ rather than ‘event management’ solution…

I’ve found this for folks looking for an way to get attendee data – no purchased yet so can’t guarantee it would work – but looking tempting: http://wcdocs.woothemes.com/user-guide/extensions/ordercustomer-csv-exporter/

The previously mentioned hack to manually put dates on tickets will work for me in the short term. I would customise it but my PHP skills are lacking so I don’t even know where to start to look!

“your comments here definitely lend extra weight to this and I’ll be sure to annotate that there is considerable demand for improvements here.”
Well, if you say that…

I just purchased a Business license as I have two clients who want ticketing. Have to say I need to add my vote to the following features:

1) Actual Date and Time on PDF tickets:
This has to be priority! Temporary workaround is to put the date and time manually in the event title and the ticket type when you set that up so WooCommerce order confirmations have it too. Without that, with events of 200 people it will generate a lot of queries for event organisers prior to the event.

2) Attendee List By Name (or purchaser name for multiple tickets):
This was the main feature my client wanted and we were both mislead by your sales page (not deliberately by you guys by the way, it’s just implied in your wording). On your features page it says: “PDF tickets and a handy attendee list to “check in” users as they arrive” – sorry, but it’s not an exportable list and it’s not good for checking in a event locations without an Internet connection to your WordPress site. Perhaps you need to change the wording here as a few people seem to be requesting this?

For the attendee list I know your limitation is that one customer could buy multiple tickets so you would only have one name against multiple tickets. Please don’t let this valid complication prevent a quicker implementation of a list of tickets by customer being implemented. This information is all there in WooCommerce it’s just a matter of getting at it… Aside from these missing features, this has great potential and I think it would put a lot of people’s mind at ease if you could indicate a time period for these two key features otherwise people are going to have to find solutions elsewhere. If anyone knows any workarounds for these in the mean time I’d love to hear them.
