I’ve voted on it. Thanks for also putting in a word internally. As someone on the UserVoice thread asked, how many votes are typically needed for something to be put into development?

Thanks. That’ll work for now. I believe I’ve registered a new functionality request for something like this to support Will Call ticketing at events.

[Rob]

Thanks for your insights.

I decided I just needed to build a package to get a feel for what I’m trying to do.

Attached is a screenshot of where I am currently by using the built-in Variable Product type (this is a preview of a draft, not available to look at on our public site). However, there are a few problems with this approach that I didn’t foresee until I actually set it up

1) The price shows as $0.00 – $330.00. We can’t have that show like this because it gives the false impression that there’s a free variation.

2) The drop downs to select two of four lecture options don’t actually have any effect on the stock management of the tickets available for the lectures. In other words, the dropdowns aren’t linked to any product. They’re just static for the purpose of letting our administration team know that these are the lectures the person chose for their package. They’ll have to go into WordPress and manually purchase those tickets on behalf of that customer so that the customer will have a ticket for the event (probably via Will Call because the fulfillment would also be detached from a package purchase.

3) Just adding the lectures as variations resulted in 16 combinations, three of which I eliminated because they were combinations of the same lecture. When I add the bus tour selections as variations, well, you can see how quickly that will become unmanageable in the product.

Ugh.

So I did some more searching around and found this article:

https://docs.woothemes.com/document/chained-products-vs-product-bundles-vs-force-sells-vs-grouped-products/

which led me to this plugin

https://www.woothemes.com/products/product-bundles/

Specifically, it looks like what I might be able to do is bundle products (like the t-shirt and souvenir pin) with events (like the concerts, meals, tours, and lectures).

I don’t want to buy a plugin just to find out it won’t address my needs. So, I’m hoping you or someone who knows about this plugin can shed more light on whether that product bundles plugin would support what I’m attempting to do.

Thanks

Thanks. I do have another question. Once I create a VIP ticket, is there a way to hide it from the event ticket view? This sounds weird, but we don’t want people purchasing VIP tickets a la carte. We are putting all VIP tickets into two packages. We want the VIP tickets to still be separate and accounted for separately so we know how many of those types of tickets sold vs. the lower-priced ones. We just don’t want people browsing the site to buy them up a la carte and therefore ruin the ticket counts for the packages. Make sense?

[Rob]

Yes, sorry. The problem still is happening. I’m not seeing any indication that my Will Call fieldset is appearing anywhere.

Thanks! I look forward to seeing this functionality implemented. It’s good to know that checking them in won’t send the email because I can now do that without fear of repercussion or confusion. I’ll add this feature request to UserVoice.

[Rob]

If I do check them in, will an email go out to them? If it does, I don’t want that.

Otherwise, I’ll just have to have our accounting people ignore the tickets from last year and remember to make new events for next year.

The sticky part about creating new events is the management of so many annual events over time in the Events listing. To keep them straight I’d need to start naming each event with the year included, which looks awkward on the UI.

There must be some way to re-use annually recurring events without messing up the management end of things.

[Rob]

Thanks for all your help. I finally got it to work. See http://www.westernlegendsroundup.com/quilt-show/ where I’ve got them listed at the bottom, using a shortcode with tags, and displaying the different time span for the last day.
