Addons required for Event Website

Hi there

I am currently building a website using Spike theme and i have pro espresso.
These are the functionality i still need from espresso.

Can you advise me which plugins will be best suitable to accomplish the following.

1. My Account/Login: My Details & Settings (change or add details to your customer account) (Accept news letter or refuse it and List Interests so we can keep them updated), My Tickets (check the status of your current orders and view your archived bookings and print tickets), Watch List (Receive emails on tickets that are about to go on sale).

2. Other Services – Add your event (sell tickets)
Login
Add event, date, time, venue, category, set price and accept service charge Ts&Cs, upload pics and add t&c/notes
(All needs to be approved by our administrator) [Will be judged on appearance]
Correct pixels etc and it keeps the site looking professional
Once approved, Acceptance email will be sent and a direct url to that event purchase page to be given for them to promote.
The ability to view tickets sold and print for door control.

My “ideas” for payment structure here is as follows. Open to suggestions.
1) The accepted service charge amount to be sent to my personal PayPal account and the ticket price to be sent to their own PayPal account,
2) I take full amount and they invoice me.

All tickets are to come with their independent bar code so it can be scanned on arrival at venue.

Ticket options: Print, Post (with delivery charge) or collect at venue box office.

Hi Robert,

I looked at at these requirements and they appear similar to an event marketplace. This may be possible but will take significant custom coding.

The main issue that I see is that Event Espresso does not currently support accepting payments for multiple organizations (routing payments to multiple merchant accounts).

We do have a directory of developers that you can reach out to about your project:

Hi there,

We can answer your questions here in this support post. However, these features will require significant custom coding so there isn’t a simple answer available.

1. My Account/Login: My Details & Settings (change or add details to your customer account) (Accept news letter or refuse it and List Interests so we can keep them updated), My Tickets (check the status of your current orders and view your archived bookings and print tickets), Watch List (Receive emails on tickets that are about to go on sale).

The WP users integration will let you setup member pricing and a member page on the front end that shows events for this member. The MailChimp addon will let you add attendees/registrants to certain lists. Managing lists from the WordPress dashboard will require custom coding. The watch list will also require custom coding.

2. Other Services – Add your event (sell tickets)
Login
Add event, date, time, venue, category, set price and accept service charge Ts&Cs, upload pics and add t&c/notes
(All needs to be approved by our administrator) [Will be judged on appearance]
Correct pixels etc and it keeps the site looking professional
Once approved, Acceptance email will be sent and a direct url to that event purchase page to be given for them to promote.
The ability to view tickets sold and print for door control.

Granting a user the ability to create an event will require the Roles & Permissions Pro addon. The acceptance email will need to be manually sent to the event admin.

My “ideas” for payment structure here is as follows. Open to suggestions.
1) The accepted service charge amount to be sent to my personal PayPal account and the ticket price to be sent to their own PayPal account,
2) I take full amount and they invoice me.
All tickets are to come with their independent bar code so it can be scanned on arrival at venue.
Ticket options: Print, Post (with delivery charge) or collect at venue box office.

Payments can’t be split among multiple PayPal accounts so this would need custom coding. The ticketing addon supports QR codes which are different than bar codes.
