If a user purchases multiple tickets without requiring them to register additional attendee info, is it possible to print individual tickets with unique QR codes?

For example, I purchase 4 tickets for my family. I’d like 4 individual tickets for each member rather then 1 ticket with the quantity of 4.

The short answer is no. However they could simply print the ticket 4 times. The QR code will still track only four instances regardless of the number of paper copies.

ok, is there a way to have the ticket number selector the first option a user sees then send them to a registration form for individual attendees?

And thanks for the quick response, appreciate it.

Well, there’s two broad options with that.

1) You could use the Multiple Event Registration (MER) addon (EE3) which is basically an add to cart system. The user adds one or more events to the cart and on viewing the cart they select the number of tickets, and then are asked to fill out the details.

MER documentation: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/multiple-event-registration-add-on/

2) Use EE4. With EE4 the ticket selector is the first part of the process, and only after selecting the number of tickets do the fill out attendee data.

EE4 test drive: http://demoee.org

The first choice works for me. Here’s an example of where I’m using this.

Is there a way when someone select the orange “Purchase Ticket” button it goes right to the cart without needing the actual 2nd “View Cart” click?

There is yes although it depends on how you are building those links.

Are you just using the [ESPRESSO_CART_LINK] shortcode?

If so simply add direct_to_cart=1 to the shortcode, so:

[ESPRESSO_CART_LINK direct_to_cart=1]

You can find all of the available shortcodes and parameters here:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#add-to-cart

If you are not using the shortcode we’ll need further details of how you are building those links.

BOOM!

The shortcode [ESPRESSO_CART_LINK event_id=”add_event_id_here” direct_to_cart=1 moving_to_cart=”Redirecting to cart…”] did the trick perfect.

Thank you support staff ๐Ÿ™‚
