Hi Debbie,

Your time slots would be datetimes however you would need a set of tickets for each of those timeslots.

Datetime A – Admission Ticket
Datetime A – Special Admission
Datetime B – Admission Ticket
Datetime B – Special Admission

and so on for each datetime (click the cog on the ticket to select which datetime the ticket is for).

What you can then do is change the settings within Event Espresso -> Events -> Templates -> Ticket Selector Template Settings

You’ll find the option ‘Show Date & Time Filter?’ which allows you to setup if a datetime file should show and ‘Date & Time Filter Threshold’ to determine how many datetimes the event needs to have before that shows.

If you set that up so the threshold is just below the amount of datetimes you have on the event it will add a dropdown to the ticket selector for your users to select a datetime, then only tickets for that datetime show on the ticket selector.

Will that work?

yes, there is and it involves adding some PHP and JavaScript code to your website. Here’s an example of some code that will uncheck all the options and hide all the tickets until a datetime is checked:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_ee_change_datetime_selector_default_unchecked', 11 );
function my_ee_change_datetime_selector_default_unchecked() {
  wp_add_inline_script( 
    'ticket_selector',
    'jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
      var $datetime_options = $(".datetime-selector-option"),
      $ticket_selector_rows = $(".tkt-slctr-tbl").find(".tckt-slctr-tbl-tr");
      if( $($datetime_options).length) {
        $ticket_selector_rows.addClass("ee-hidden-ticket-tr");
        $.each($datetime_options, function () {
         $(this).prop("checked", false);
        } );
      }
    } );'
  );
}

You can add the above to a functions plugin or into your WordPress theme’s functions.php file.

The code above has been updated to remove this line:

.find(".ticket-selector-tbl-qty-slct").val(0)

Try that updated version and see if that works for you.

You’re most welcome
