Hi there,

Currently to do that automatically is not possible without custom development.

If you would like to contact a developer familiar with Event Espresso that may be able to add this for you we have a list here:

https://eventespresso.com/developers/event-espresso-pros/

The only way you could do that within EE right now is to either provide the users with a promotion code they can manually enter or have them create an account on the site that you can assign a specific capability to, then user the EE4 user integration add-on to create a discounted ticket only available to users with that capability on their account.

Capabilities are assigned to each users role (or the user account itself) and allow the account/user access to specific areas/functions.

For example WordPress checks you have the ‘manage_options’ capability on your account to allow you access to your WordPress settings. (and various other locations).

Have a read here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

What you would do is have a custom capability using some form of members plugin, for example the Members Plugin or a membership plugin such as Ultimate Member your users than have that custom capability on their account that you can check for to allow access to a ticket or not.

Note this this requires all of your users to create an account on the site first which you can then set to a specific role (that has the custom capability assigned to it).

You’re most welcome.

If you unsure I’d recommend setting up a development copy of the site to test this with as may decide to go through a couple of different membership plugins before you find one you like the best, its best to do that away from the production site.
