I’m not sure this is possible without hacking the organization_settings.php file and adding a space in the currency array. The other option would be pulling the price value from the database and adding the currency in front of it manually. Here’s an example of something I did for a customization that required two different currencies to be used depending on the category the event was in (which was based on the location of the event):

      <label class="views-label-sell-price">Price:</label>
      <?php $category_name = espresso_event_category_data($event_id);
      if ( $category_name['category_name'] == "London " ) { ?>
      <span class="field-content"><span class="uc-price-product uc-price-sell_price uc-price">&pound;<?php echo do_shortcode('[EVENT_PRICE event_id="'.$event_id.'" number="0"]'); ?></span></span>
      <?php } else { ?>
      <span class="field-content"><span class="uc-price-product uc-price-sell_price uc-price">A$<?php echo do_shortcode('[EVENT_PRICE event_id="'.$event_id.'" number="0"]'); ?></span></span>
      <?php } ?>

You could modify that to take out the if statement and put an € in front of the EVENT_PRICE shortcode.

@dhastedt The code above isn’t from the organization_config.php. It’s from a customized table display template I used on a specific site. A variation of that could be used on any display template (e.g. event_list_display.php).

@rishitejo For their site, I have categories set up for the different locations. They have 3 locations in Australia and one in London, so in the templates, I am doing a check for whether the category is the ‘London’ category — if so, I display the £, if not I display A$. There are a bunch of different files that need to have this check and I had to add a hidden input field in the reg form with the price because I removed the event_price_dropdown function in favor of a hard-coded event price pulled from the database value. Note: Event Espresso doesn’t actually support multiple currencies and even this setup is flawed — there are still some places where the A$ is being displayed because that’s the country set in the Organization Config options that need to be dealt with. On the payment page, I also needed to do a check for the category to display one gateway if the event is in London and a different gateway if it isn’t. That’s the only way to actually accept multiple currencies (using 2 different gateways).
