Event with ticket packages

Is this doable?

Event has individual tickets for $150.00 each. But also has three packages:
Table Sponsorship Gold includes 12 tickets (and 2 hotel rooms) – $2,800.00
Table Sponsorship Silver includes 10 tickets (and 2 hotel rooms) – $2,500.00
Table Sponsorship Bronze includes 8 tickets (and 1 hotel room) – $2,000.00

I need to collect registration information for all ticket holders.

The hotel room part is irrelevant. I’m curious if we can do packages like this and collect 12 or 10 or 8 ticket holder registrations.

Hi Jeff,

How are you today?

Sure! This sounds like a perfect use case for Ticket Bundles: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-ticket-bundle/

Be sure to set your registration form to ask for the contact information for the Additional Registrants.

Does that help?

Garth, thanks for the link and reply. Follow up question:

When setting it up as described in the link, the Quantity shows “12”. To me it should show “1”. It makes it look like the only option is to purchase 12 bundles.

Or is there a way to modify the table itself…maybe change the word QTY to “# of tickets” or something.

There has to be a way to make it less confusing for the user.

Hi Jeff, the text QTY is translation ready so it could be changed using a gettext filter. Here is one that is ready to go and could be added to your child theme’s functions.php file or through a site specific plugin:

//* Adjust the QTY heading in the ticket selector
function ee_custom_messaging_ticket_selector_adjust( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
    $strings = array(
        'QTY' => '# of Tickets',
    );
    if ( isset( $strings[$original] ) ) {
        $translations = get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
        $translated = $translations->translate( $strings[$original] );
    }
    return $translated;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'ee_custom_messaging_ticket_selector_adjust', 10, 3 );

Thanks


Lorenzo
