Hi
I have a client with a charity event (dinner and dance) that has 250 available tickets.
You can buy the tickets each for £60 or you can buy 10 tickets (a whole table) for £500.
I am new to Espresso and wondering how I can set this up so i don’t end up selling too many tickets ?

Hi there,
You would need 2 ticket options within the event, 1 being the single ticket and the other being a ticket bundle for the collection of 10 tickets:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-ticket-bundle/
So your ticket options would look something like this – http://take.ms/sjgHE
The overall limit for the event you setup on the datetime itself, shown here – http://take.ms/zrqrw
This is how it will look on the event itself – http://take.ms/1hvtf
Note that for the bundle ticket you set the price per ticket and then the user can only select the min/max amount you set (in this case 10 for $500)
Is that what you are looking for?

Hi
Thank you for the detailed reply, what was worrying me was the following.
I have 250 single seats in the restaurant, which are made up of 25 tables of 10 seats.
So i could either sell 25 tales or 250 single seats. Some customers will buy tables (companies, rich people!) and some single seats (everyone else taking their wife/husband etc) where they end up sharing tables with people they don’t know.
Lets say I sold 20 table bundles. 200 total seats are now gone. That leaves only 50 seats I could sell. Looking at your screenshot you have 100 of seats and a 100 of tables? So not sure if the bundles and the seats are linked from an inventory point of view. I don’t want to sell anymore than 250 seats.
Hope that makes sense.

The datetime determines the total amount of sales for the event, so you set the limit of 250 on the datetime.
The 100 on my tickets is actually from me updating the event before setting the limit on the ticket and it defaulted to 100, that should be 250 to match the datetime. (My apologies for the confusion)
The tickets grant access to a datetime, so in my example with only a single datetime, both tickets sales apply to that datetime right?
So with a limit of 250 on the datetime you can sell any combination of ‘tables’ and ‘singles’ up to 250 seats. So if you sold only sold 20 table bundles you would have 50 spaces left available on the datetime. Those 50 spaces would be 5 more bundles, or 4 bundles + 10 singles, 50 singles or any combination of sales up to 50 tickets.
Make sense?
The limits on the tickets themselves allow you to sell specific qtys of a ticket, say you have a hard limit of 5 ‘sponsor’ tickets you’d like to sell in combination with the above, you could add another ticket option, set the qty to 5 and only allow sale of 5 tickets… again in combination with your tables and singles.
