Hi,
I am just running some final tests before going live and I have encountered a small problem. I have set up some events that are to be booked in groups (max 4 total in group) and I have set up questions & question groups in order to collect their names & email addresses etc. However – it would appear that the price I have set for the group is actually the price per person and so increases fourfold once I have added in the group members during the booking process. Is it possible to use a single group price (irrespective of numbers in the group as some may only want a group of 3 but the price remains the same) and still have the additional questions to collect the additional group members info?
I found this on your forum – https://eventespresso.com/topic/group-events-for-single-price/ – but a side effect of this is that I am not sure if the additional group members will be added to my attendee numbers or if it will only count the lead booker as an attendee?
Look forward to hearing. Many thanks in advance.
Angus

If you want an individual to be counted toward the registration limit then they need to be their own attendee. In that situation prices should be based on a per-person rate.
OR, if you want group registrations and group rates then: 1) set the capacity limit to the equivalent number of individuals represented by the groups, 2) use custom questions to collect the group attendee details (but they will not receive the same communication as the primary attendee).
Does that help?

Hi Garth,
Thanks for getting back to me.
Not ideal but have set up using question to collect additional names – will keep my fingers crossed for the ability to do as mentioned in my original post in a future update…
Cheers & Happy New Year.

You could use the hook used here:
to zero the price for any additional attendees.

Hi Sidney,
Thanks for getting back to me. If I were to use this edit would it be overwritten by any updates in the future and then need re-doing?

Hi Angus,
It depends on where you add the function. If it is added to a custom plugin or via the wp-content/uploads/espresso/custom_functions.php file then updates would not over write it.
The changes made here:
// bug in 3.1.36.1.P. need to change line 572 of includes/process-registration/add_attendees_to_db.php from
// $ext_att_data_source['attendee_id'] = $attendee_id;
// to:
$ext_att_data_source['attendee_id'] = $ext_attendee_id;
would be over written but I assume Sidney has raised a ticket to fix the bug already, so it shouldnt be an issue going forward.
