Conference tickets get more expensive nearer to launch

Hi Guys,

I would like to sell tickets for an event and have the ticket price change based on the date of purchase.

For Example: Buy a ticket between April to May pay $40 buy the same ticket in June price increases to $50 and so on up to July.

I would like the buyer to only see one ticket purchase option on the registration page! The price of the ticket at that exact time and date!

I tried the multiple datetimes and pricing options (support video) but that method shows all ticket options present and feature doh..

The bottomline is can I create and automate one ticket using Event Expresso for the same event and the ticket price increases the closer it gets to the event opening?

Any suggestions folks!

Regards,
Andy

Hi Andy,

You’ll still set up one ticket per buying interval,
so one ticket for April & May at $40 where the sale end date is May 31,
and another ticket for June at $50 where the sale start date is June 1,
then so on.b You do not need to set up multiple datetimes, you’re only setting up multiple tickets to handle the different pricing schemes.

Then, you can hide the future ticket options by adding the following CSS to your Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS panel:

.ticket-pending {display:none;}

Hi Josh,

The CSS is hiding the other tickets now thanks! Will the plugin automatically replace the ticket price when the dates change? I did set up 3 different tickets corresponding to the same event datetime.

Cheers,
Andy

Hi Andy,

Replace the ticket price on the ticket selector?

If you have setup multiple tickets set to expire when the next one starts:

Ticket 1 = $40 (goes on sale now and ends on April 25th)
Ticket 2 = $50 (goes on sale April 25th and ends on April 30th)
etc

Then the ticket selector will show the ticket and its corresponding price based on the date.

You go to Event Espresso > Events > Templates and set the “Show Expired Tickets?” option to No.
