Discount code per ticket

Hi there,

We would like to use the discount/promotion code per ticket. When for example an attendee would like to buy three tickets to a movie (we’re a movie theater) and may use a 100% discount for one ticket but needs to pay for the other two. How can we arrange that?

Also we would like the ticket price that’s on the ticket be set to the amount after use of the discount code. For example an attendee buys a ticket with a standard price of € 10,00 but uses a 50% discount code, the price on the actual ticket should say € 5,00. Is this possible? Maybe by using a shortcode?

Thanx in advance for your reply!

Currently, the promotion system applies promotions on an ‘event’ scope, meaning they apply per event and can not be set to apply per ticket without custom development. You would basically need your own ticket ‘scope’ creating for the promotions add-on.

Also we would like the ticket price that’s on the ticket be set to the amount after use of the discount code. For example an attendee buys a ticket with a standard price of € 10,00 but uses a 50% discount code, the price on the actual ticket should say € 5,00. Is this possible? Maybe by using a shortcode?

It is possible yes, but again you’ll need a custom shortcode for this as it’s not how Event Espresso displays the pricing.

If you are comfortable with PHP you could add your own shortcode for this:
