Hi

My client has asked if we can do a 2 tickets for £92 option on Espresso for our latest summer classes.

I know that we can add an extra ticket type but my worry is, if we set a ticket called 2 for £92, the system would only see that 1 place had been booked so the class could get oversubscribed.

Please could you advise whether this is viable?

Thanks.

Hi there,

You can use a ticket bundle for this:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-ticket-bundle/

Set the min and max tickets to 2 and the user can then select with 0 or 2 of the tickets.

Note that the price must be set per ticket, not total, so the ticket price for the above would be this would £46.

Thanks. And this will book 2 places?

Hi Tony. I have inadvertently deleted one of the tickets that were automatically created when I added the bundle feature on one event.

How do I get it back?

Also, I need to be able to give buyers the choice between one place or two. Your instructions create only the two place option. How do I give both?

The options need to be:

1 for £47

2 for £90

Any news guys? My client is on my back, so I’d appreciate a response as I need to have this resolved in the morning. Thanks. Joe

Good morning Tony. I now realise you were closed during the weekend, so please ignore my last comment. Just to re-cap, I’m looking to enable two options on these events, opt. 1 is one place booking at £47, opt. 2 is two places for £90. Any further advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Joe

Hi Joe,

As noted we (support) don’t usually work weekends so my apologies for the delay, we aren’t ignoring you 🙂

How do I get it back?

If you’ve removed it from the event and updated, it’s been removed from the database, you can’t get that back, you’ll need to re-create the ticket manually.

(Note that Event Espresso won’t allow you to delete a ticket if it has registrations assigned to it, be that ‘Approved’ registrations or not, so the ticket you removed won’t have had any registrations on it)

Also, I need to be able to give buyers the choice between one place or two. Your instructions create only the two place option. How do I give both?

Currently to do that you’d need 2 ticket options.

1 ticket type set at a price of 1 for £47 (you can set a max qty of 1 on thaqt ticket if you prefer)

Another ticket type (your bundle ticket) set at a price of £45, with a min + max qty setting of 2.

So if a user selects 1 ticket, they use 1 ticket type, if they want the 2ForX they use another ticket type. Both of those tickets are set on the same datetime, so you set the ‘limit’ for sales on the datetime.

Make sense?

Thank you very much. Makes sense. One more scenario needs catering for though. Odd numbers. E.G. if someone wants to book 3 or 5 places, they would need multiples of either or each option. So how should I give multiples for the 2 place bundle?

And possibly more places e.g. 8 places (would need the option of 4 x the bundle) Currently the only way to do this is to increase the Maximum Quantity to 4, but this leaves it possible to book 3. Sorry, I’m getting confused. Can you clarify?

Hmm, yeah we don’t have an option to apply ‘multiples’ of tickets in the way you are trying to do.

The only way I can think of doing that is using some custom jQuery to remove the ‘odd’ values from the bundle ticket selector qty dropdown, so you’d still have both ticket types but then on the bundle use a higher qty and remove the odd values from that dropdown.
