I am a bit unclear about using DateTime. Can you look at my question in ScreenCast? https://screencast.com/t/rCt09YlaQH

Hi,

The event needs at least one datetime, that’s the date and time the event starts and finishes. You can optionally add more datetimes. For example if the event is over a 3 day timespan, you could add 2 additional datetimes.

The option to set number of datetimes is for the purpose of giving limited access to datetimes for a ticket. With that same example of a 3 day event, you could restrict a ticket to allow access to only 2 of the 3 dates.

I have a 5 week (Monday nights only) training course.
I have one price for sessions 1 through 5 and a cheaper price for sessions 1 and 2 only.
Should I create 5 dateTimes even though paying the full price entitles attendee to all 5 sessions? So that I could associate ONLY dateTime 1 and 2 to the discounted price?
I’m just wondering how confusing that would look on the front end at purchase time (for the normal, full price person).

Creating 5 datetimes would make sense. This way each date will be shown so it’s clear when the course occurs.

Then you’ll only need to create two tickets: 1 ticket that gives access to all 5 datetimes, then another ticket for datetimes 1&2. It should not be confusing to select between the two options if the ticket names are clearly labeled to show they’re good for 2 or all 5 datetimes.
