Hi there,
I was wondering if someone could offer me advice on how to best provide users with the ability to select 1 or more days for an on-going event.

The ‘event’ is an after school club for children running throughout term time, and I want to give parents the opportunity to select one or more dates – say every wednesday – for their children to be able to attend.

Should I create one event – ‘After School Club – Autumn Term’ and then offer tickets for each day? Or is there a way of parents selecting dates, and then paying for a ticket for each date selected?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Take care,
Chris

Hi Chris,

With Event Espresso, every different type of selection needs to be a different ticket.

So using your half term example as a 6 week holiday, if you wanted users to be able to individually select the dates they will be attending you would need at least 30 tickets in the event (assuming Mon-Fri x 6 = 30).

Then you could create an ‘Every wednesday’ ticket that was only assigned to the 6 Wednesdays for the holiday and the user could select just that, and/or the individual tickets from the main list.

We have a ‘datetime’ filter added to the ticket selector which can be used by the user to show/hide tickets they are interested in, but there will still be a fair amount of tickets for the users to select from.

Does the above sound like it will work for you? I can create a demo event with a similar setup so you can see if that will help.
