Discounted Volume Ticket Purchase

I want to be able to offer tickets were the first ticket is a fixed amount ($125) and then any further tickets will be 10% less. So if three tickets are purchased it would be one full price, $125, and two at $112.50.

Is there a way to achieve this? The current volume limitations do not accommodate this case as it provides a single price that applies to all tickets at that volume.

Hi there,

Yes, you can set two types of tickets, one full price ticket, and another for additional tickets. So for the first ticket, you set the 125.00 price, set its Maximum Quantity to 1, and check the box so the ticket is required.

Then you set up a second ticket for additional ticket pricing. You set it’s price to be $112.50. Since the first ticket is required, the second ticket price can only be selected if they purchase the first ticket at 125.00.

This is certainly helpful, thank you.

The reason I did not use this solution initially, is that I have multiple types of ticket per event. For example, this is what the event will look like for a non-member (no WP account) on my website:https://www.evernote.com/l/AndAl1dEeVREipkQuAKVF0cvEHz8Q22rt1Y

In this example “Sibling Admission” is the volume discounted ticket,.

So, the required ticket is problematic, because the initial ticket could be any of three different options.

One solution to this would be if we could connect a fixed discount to every transaction of a user of a specific type, eliminating the need for different tickets entirely, but that’s a whole other question and topic. Any thoughts? Sounds like this isn’t possible with EE4 right now.

The required ticket isn’t necessarily problematic because with a bit of custom code, you can filter those away. For example, in this github gist, it shows how to remove a required ticket option if the user is logged in.
