Hi there,

To get the category, you need to know the Event ID and within that code you can get that from the ticket itself:

$event_id = $ticket->get_event_ID();

From there you can use start terms:

$event_categories = get_the_terms($event->ID(), 'espresso_event_categories');
$first_term = array_pop($event_categories);
if ( $first_term instanceof EE_Term ) {
    $category_name = $category->name();
}

Or you use our model system like this:

$event = $ticket->get_related_event();
if ( $event instanceof EE_Event ) {
    $category = $event->first_event_category();
    if ( $category instanceof EE_Term ) {
        $category_name = $category->name();
    }
}

That gives you the category name within $category_name to do whatever you prefer to use it for 🙂

If you haven’t done so already, I recommend reading the docs on our model system here:

Using the models to pull in the data you need makes a lot of takes within EE much easier.
