Hi Tyler,

The ticket selector in Event Espresso 4 will show available tickets for purchase. According to your screenshot, it would show a discounted ticket and a regular ticket.

Here are two ideas.

IDEA 1
I would split this event into two events — one for the first morning and second morning and the other for the first night and the second night. That will then allow you to use the ticket selector shortcode for EE4 on a WP page:

IDEA 2
The other option is to create two more tickets in the existing event. Then edit the ticket names so they look like this:

Discounted Ticket – Morning course
Regular Ticket – Morning course
Discounted Ticket – Night course
Regular Ticket – Night course

Then assign the tickets (click on the gear icon on each datetime and place a checkmark for each ticket) to the appropriate datetimes (i.e. assign night tickets to the night course and morning tickets to the morning course).

One other step that you may consider is hiding the upcoming ticket options by using this line of CSS:

/* Hide a tickets option with a status of upcoming */
.post-type-archive-espresso_events .ticket-pending {display:none;}

More information on CSS for different ticket statuses is available here:

Hi Tyler, the shortcodes can be used on a WordPress page. You could also add them via a do_shortcode to your template file:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode

It sounds like you wanted to create a custom layout on a page and then add the two two selector options. The ticket selector itself can’t be broken up for a single event. However, if you create two events (one for morning and one for night), then that would provide you with two ticket selector shortcodes.

Does that help?

The other option is to add more ticket options and then use the default event page (idea 2).

Hi Tyler,

There are a few methods that you can use to grab the price of the first input ticket and display its price. Here’s some example code:

if ( $post->EE_Event instanceof EE_Event ) {
  $ticket_array = $post->EE_Event->first_datetime()->tickets();
  $first_ticket = array_shift($ticket_array);
  echo $first_ticket->pretty_price();
}

You’ll note that it gets an array of prices because events and datetimes can have more than one ticket, each with their own price. The array_shift() is a simple way to get the first entered ticket’s price. You can certainly add on to the code and make it more complicated in order to get other prices.

You’re welcome Tyler.
