Hi,

One update that did happen since then is the promotions add-on now includes hooks that allow for programmatically setting a specific ticket to allow a specific promotion. An example of how to use the hooks is hosted here:

https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/addons/eea-promotions/bc_ee_ticket_scope_promotions.php

With the above, a PHP developer could build out a system of discounts per ticket to your specifications.

If you’d prefer to look into sponsorship of a ticket per promotion user interface, to be included in an official update to the promotions add-on, you can reach out to Seth via this form:

The filter is supposed to bypass the use limit, because what’s happened is the event scope is no longer in effect. There isn’t a check for “ticket scope usage limit”. Usage limits are applied to and checked against for the event scope.

What you could do in this case is add some additional logic and a loop at the very end of the main loop that gets the event ID from the tickets, then applies the usage for the promotions to the event scope. At that point it will work because the plugin still checks for the event scope’s usage limit.

e.g. add the following just before the end of the main foreach loop

// get ticket object
$ticket = EEM_Ticket::instance()->get_one_by_ID($ticket_line_item->OBJ_ID());
if ($ticket instanceof EE_Ticket) {
    // get related event object
    $event = $ticket->get_related_event();
    if ($event instanceof EE_Event) {
        foreach (range(1, $applicable_items[0]->get('LIN_quantity')) as $i) {
            // increment usage to event scope
            try {
                if ($promotion->scope_obj()->increment_promotion_scope_uses(
                    $promotion,
                    $event->id()
                )) {
                    continue;
                }
            } catch (Exception $e) {
                EE_Error::add_error($e->getMessage(), __FILE__, __FUNCTION__, __LINE__);
            }
        }
    }
}

The newly added foreach loop will allow me to apply the code to 5 tickets.

What’s actually allowing you to apply the code to 5 tickets is the change to the ticket scope from event scope (the first part of the custom code). The newly added foreach loop only adds to increment the count of promo code uses.

You can add a conditional to the top of the innermost loop and that will prevent going over the limit:

if($promotion->get('PRO_uses') <= $promotion->redeemed() + 1) {
    continue;
}

Normally the above check isn’t needed because only one scope item would be applied regardless of the number of tickets.
