Currently when editing an Event, I’m able to configure the Settings for any ticket and add a Price Modifier. For example, I have a ticket that has an Early Bird Discount. How can I set the Early Bird discount to expire on a specific day?

Hi there,

Currently you can not set expirations on price modifiers, however rather than using a price modifier on a ticket, you can use another ticket for the Early bird discount.

So you’d create an early bird discount ticket that expires at the date/time that the ‘normal’ ticket goes on sale, like this – http://take.ms/HguBL

Would that work?

Hi dionne.c,

The price modifiers do not actually have expiration dates, but what you can do is set the ticket sale end date to end on a specific day, and make a second full price ticket to go on sale that same day.

IF I set a second full price ticket, how can I hide the ticket and set it to only appear on the ticket sale start date?

It will automatically display a Goes on Sale message that includes the sale start date. If you want to hide the row that displays that ticket sale start date information you can hide it by adding some CSS to your website.

You can add the CSS by going to the Appearance -> Customize section of the admin, and there is a tab labeled ‘Additional CSS’. If you go into the customizer, you can add some code like this to hide the ticket that’s not on sale yet. Please paste the code between the dashed lines into the stylesheet:

—————————————-

.ticket-pending {display:none;}

—————————————-

Please refer to this guide for more detailed information about the CSS customizer: https://codex.wordpress.org/CSS#Custom_CSS_in_WordPress

Is there a way to change the “Goes on Sale” to read something else?

Yes there is and it involves adding some PHP code to your website.

You can add the above to a functions plugin or into your WordPress theme’s functions.php file.

Thank you, that will work!
