Can I use a ticket for an online-only event (not one in the real world)?
\nSpecificallly, we have a third-party plugin that generates a page to upload files to a photo contest. We cannot, therefore, alter that page. We want to charge to enter the contest, but the form does not include payment options: it’s just an uploader.<\/p>\n

So, I’m looking for a way to hide the page(that’s easy enough) and then show it only once a person has paid the contest entry fee.<\/p>\n

Since the contest is an “event” Tickets would be a perfect way to charge… but I don’t see a way to use a sold ticket in our own site, to access a page.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking: “You must purchase a ticket to enter the contest. Purchase your ticket below.”<\/p>\n

I thought about Woocommerce URL single-use coupons, but that’s pretty kludgy…<\/p>\n

Any suggestions?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1416374","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\ntickets for online events? -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/tickets-for-online-events\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"tickets for online events? -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Can I use a ticket for an online-only event (not one in the real world)?
