I need my ticket or QR Code to be able to be scanned at 4 different locations. How do I set a limit of 4 scans per ticket? Can’t find where to do that. Thanks

Hi Keith,
The QR codes can be increased to be scanned more than once, but it is based on the number of tickets. So, for example, if one person buys 5 tickets (with No Info Required set for the additional attendees) then they can have that ticket scanned more than once.
To have a single ticket purchase be scanned more than once, you would need to modify the plugin as that is non standard behaviour.
If you need assistance with modifying the plugin, you can contact one of our recommended developers – https://eventespresso.com/developers/event-espresso-pros/

Thanks for the reply – not what I wanted to hear. Another thought to work around this…..How I’m selling tickets is a package. Buy one ticket and receive admission into 4 attractions. Can I set it up where when a person buys one ticket, it will email them 4 unique tickets? The demo site is

Hi,
I looked at this in a variety of ways and using the default plugin it isn’t going to work for what you need.
We do however have a bunch of hooks and filters that can be used to modify the plugin.
For example:
function change_ticket_count($attendee_data) {
if($attendee_data['event_id'] != '166') { return false;}
global $wpdb;
$wpdb->update( EVENTS_ATTENDEE_TABLE, array("quantity" => "5"), array("id" => $attendee_data['attendee_id']), array("%d"), array("%d") );
return;
}
add_action('action_hook_espresso_save_attendee_data', 'change_ticket_count');
Adding that to the custom_functions.php file in the upload/espresso folder will make the plugin check to see if the even has an ID of 166 and if it does, it updates the primary registrants ticket count to 5.
You could use something similar on your own site, but it might be worthwhile setting the check to be a category name/id or a custom meta field rather than the event id.
The above code is only an example, and is not supported.
You can also contact one of our recommended developers should you need assistance with customising the code. https://eventespresso.com/developers/event-espresso-pros/

That’s a great suggestion- thanks Dean. By inserting the hook, would that insert an attendee multiple times in the mobile app attendee log?

Hi Keith,
What the above example would do is increase the quantity of tickets that they are marked as having, and that is what the scanning app looks for.
There is a flaw to the above code as it will charge the user five times (I didnt realise this yesterday), so you may need to reconsider the hook used to one that fires after payment is successful – https://eventespresso.com/wiki/event-espresso-3-1-action-hooks/.
action_hook_espresso_track_successful_sale seems to work better.

Hello Dean, I stumbled upon this on the EE blog….seems that it would solve my problem. Number of Uses per Ticket: https://eventespresso.com/2013/09/event-espresso-4-feature-showcase-ticket-quantity-uses-min-and-max/
Do you know when Espresso 4 this will be released? Could I run beta version on site? Thanks

Hi Keith,
Event Espresso 4 isn’t ready for release yet. When the beta is ready we will make an announcement that it can be downloaded for beta testing.
