The suggested patch by Modern Tribe support to the possibility of customers adding (or removing) tickets during the “view cart” phase in woocommerce is to prevent the ability to modify the cart contents during this stage. While this DOES work in closing the loop hole that side steps the Attendee Info event collection funnel, it basically makes the view cart phase completely redundant. In other words, if the user can’t alter their cart contents, it serves no purpose to display the view cart page at all. The only other feature on the page is the ability to add Coupons, which can also be added in checkout phase.<\/p>\n
Would it be possible to skip the view cart phase entirely, taking customers directly to the check out phase after they have selected their tickets and inputed their attendee info? This would be a superior patch to the existing one, as it would remove a needless phase of the checkout process .<\/p>\n
There are functions out there that do this for Woocommerce, but none of the ones I have tried work from “Add to Cart” buttons on the Event Pages.<\/p>\n
On a related note, I would like to state that the actual FIX for this problem is to move the collection of Attendee Info to the “view cart” (ideal for every implementation I can think of) or “checkout” phase (less options, but would work 100% of the time in making sure all attendee info is collected). <\/p>\n

\nMoving it here would allow customers to alter their purchase, adding or removing tickets, but still require them to complete all attendee info before progressing to the checkout phase. This provides the most amount of versatility for the customers, as they can edit the order as they see fit until they proceed.<\/p>\n
\nThis is where I currently collect my attendee info in my hacked solution on my live site. It works 100% of the time, because at this stage the user is locked into the purchase in their cart. <\/p>\n
